me thinks you are testing the oven to see if it can cook some spam
Yes friends,
An electric guitar is a guitar that uses the principle of direct electromagnetic induction to convert vibrations of its metal strings into electric audio signals.
After reading some responses and researching some of the links I have to admit I was wrong our founding fathers were all heathens,alchoholics,athiests,womanizers and hypocrites kind of like whats in office today,I was looking at the origin of this great nation thru rose colored glasses and actually believing the constitution was composed by upstanding citizens but alas I was terribly mistaken thank you Jerome for your uplifting appraisal and insight I think I will have a cup of coco and curl up with my teddy bear secure in the new found knowledge that there were no great men or visionaries and it was all a fluke goodnight America.
Perhaps doing away with all currency would not be a bad thing,everything could be handled on a credit system we do most of our transactions this way now it would be hard on the drug cartels as all transactions would have to be accounted for thru a central bank just a thought 
yes I also remember this I believe it was the first R&R song that inspired the genre Carl Perkins also comes to mind with the rockabilly style
Bill Haley and the Comets Rock around the clock.
I have bookmarked this link so I can read this later and thanks for providing it

I disagree with this... Influenced by Christian morals would be more accurate. And even that is confusing because "Christian Morals" is used to describe morals supported by Christianity.. Not to say that they are a "Christians" morals... A wall is intended to be between church and state.
There's a huge difference between basing a constitution on Chirstian "beliefs" vs christian supported morals~
This is a debate that has been going on forever and going by quotes and exerts is really misleading... I think reading through the private letters between Jefferson and Adams is interesting though and gives a good insight as to their intent http://www.scribd.com/doc/12305/T-Jeffe … ms-letters
Jerome I beg to differ and I offer some quotes from the founding fathers and signers of the declaration of independance these are but a few there are more.

I dont see anything wrong with the pledge of allegiance or having God on our currency when this country won its independance the founding fathers based the bill of rights and our constitution on fundamental beliefs rooted it Christianity somehow thru the years these beliefs have been challenged and a slow erosion process grew like a cancer till we find ourselves heading in the same direction as the Roman empire which fell not from without but from within but I have faith that there are enough caring people who will take a stand when the chips are down pledge or no pledge.
Doug desire is a strong motivator a lot of people with your condition would not attept to learn guitar it is a difficult instrument to learn without the condition you have I admire your courage,I could suggest try slide guitar because in addition to full chords you can pick out melodies from not only gospel but blues, rock and country keep on picking
I would have donated it
Russell, Imagine what it would have been like if it had been a full size Piano!
Thanks D.S. and to all who have provided hints and ideas and in restrospect concidering the total cost of time and materials if I ever do this again I am paying a pro,dont get me wrong I gained a lot from the experience to be sure and I dont think there is nothing wrong with attempting this kind of project it was harder then going on my 1st date or playing my first gig but I can think of more pleasurable activities for my time and thats the key,time but I had to do it just once unlike skydiving if you fail theres always another attempt. 
its not a stupid question joey its a piece of plastic that sticks by itself sort of a mini pickguard it can be removed I just wanted to try it out and see if I liked it I dont so it will be gone because it distracts from the overall concept thank you for the nice comments
Stupid question. What is the tortoise shell spot on the pickguard? It wasn`t there before. Also, great choice on the color,It looks fantastic.
It is tragic, drugs and booze have contributed to the demise of many talented people way before there time and it comes as no surprise that people look much older living a life of abuse then those who dont.Another great artist is gone.
Thanks dino I never sanded this much on anything but once I seen the results of a small area I knew I had to do the whole thing
Seems like the extra sanding brought out some more shine on it russell. looks like a pro painted it!!!
Thanks Top,candy apple is a cool color
Reminds me of my candy apple red mustang! SWEET!
I took the advise of several members and wet sanded it,after careful concideration I realized I could not live with a second best effort so I spent the day sanding with 600,1000,1500 Polishing compound and Carnuba when I have some time I will put all the videos and photos together this is the final finish,done I cant get it any better
Jeff Beck live at Ronnies the tones he conjures up and his execution are flawless check out the bass player (Tal Wilkenfeld) she is rock solid and extremely creative and cute as a bug.I loved Jeff Becks "Truth" album with Rod Stewart and he may be a bit older but like fine wine he is priceless,the bass solo in the second song on this video is phenominal

I think I sense the aroma of some awaiting spam.
dino I still plan on the gold hardware but I am a tad short this month on cash it can wait,I did all the spraying in my shower with a large drop cloth and I still had to vacume dust off the floor and wipe all the shelves the exhust fan in the bathroom really helped a lot most of the mess is cleaned up I stll have to take out a lot of garbage bags of empty paint cans and rags but tomorrow is soon enough
thank you
Very very nice, I tip my hat to you sir.
glad you like it joey thank you for following this project and all your comments
looks fantastic. Great job!!!!!
Thanks Roger it looks retro which is what I was aiming for and also the same color as my 62 tele that was ripped off I must have had this in the back of my mind and it influenced me
Great job Russ and I am pleased to see that you have chrome hardware on her, she looks gorgeous.
Roger
thanks toots I gotta get some new strings and set the string height
It looks great, Russell. You did good, boy!
Joe my next project is the clean up the mess I am very happy with the outcome thanks I may have to get some more t shirts I cut up a few
Russell, Way Cool. You should be proud of the great job you did. It looks smokin'. The maple fretboard really sets off the candy apple red. I love it. What's your next project ?
Joe
Confused and frustrated I had a plan and stuck with it its like in chess you have a plan based on positioning your pieces in the opening you must take into concideration your opponants move and his plan and try to impliment yours but keep faithful to it or your only reacting and defensive thanks dino for the nice comments
I think you did a great job russell,considering you had so many good suggestions from all the members,you managed too come out with a top looking paint job. you should give yourself a pat on the back. Myself I think I would have been somewhat confused with all the different ways and tools to do the project.
dino I think it looks clean and hot I had a bit of a tussel with the wiring and pickups the new neck was a lot easier then I though to bolt on but once I drilled into it a half inch it went smooth I will take a little more time with the finish in a few weeks or so no rush I'm happy with the results
