GGGGG

That video is pure torture.

You could make me confess to anything if you made me watch that whole video without blinking.

Wez, you do realise you are inadvertently becoming this clown's biggest advocate on this forum, right? PDT_008

I know, i did think about not posting it but i just cant help myself!!

The guy has grown since the first one, he is even willing to admit it has flaws, like being unplayable, having no working electrics, being made of inappropriate materials - you know, little stuff like that.

I am actually fairly sure that one day the guy will make a playable guitar. After all, its not that hard!! He certainly has the will to make guitars and a little reading and practice is all it would take.... his main issue is arrogance and if he actually listened to his critics he would do much better!! I know he has had lots of comments that were genuinely helpfull rather than just insulting his efforts and they all got deleted.

I say its not hard to build a playable guitar... its much harder to build one that plays well!

I'm just glad i never had a way to take a photo of the lapsteel i made when i was 17, it was fun but i am glad it didnt end up published on the web to still haunt me now!!

He's at it again then? Well, at least he does seem to be learning some lessons, but it still doesn't sound like he's on completely the right track.

Leaving aside his obvious lack of skill as a musical instrument builder, I really do feel sorry for him. I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like to have no 'real' friends, only virtual ones. It's actually very sad (in its real sense, not the geeky way).
