deets #5 ( part 1)


this is the seagull. given to me by sean bonnet in tucson. he said that the problem with guitar was that he kicked a hole in it and then smashed it through a wall so the neck has been busted to the point where it wouldn't play. he also said if i screw this up it was no big deal. with that in mind.......first thing is to take the neck off. i think.


boom! pretty easy stuff because the seagull has a bolt on neck. next step is to remove the binding and separate the top from the body.


came off pretty easy using a razor blade and my muscles. so this is our hole. it about a shoe size 9 to 10.


there is no info on the internet about how to solve this problem so i thought i'd just start carving into this thing. i pulled out the japanese saw that ian dixon told me to buy and started to saw.


thats a great feeling to saw into something.


here's where i bust the piece out. sweet jesus that's a clean cut.


while i figure out what i'm going to do about all that, i turn to the dislocated neck. the block was cracked so i decided to throw some glue up in it and clamp for dear life.


at this point i'm all out of ideas. more to come when i figure something out.

this is going to be a rather strange comment, I would like to know if it is possible to purchase the track hollow notes from you.

Kick me please. I was destroyed about how i couldnt buy it from your myspace, but wasnt smart enough to check itunes.

Will see if I can work something out on Itunes.

I'm not in America and being a complete idiot, i dont know how it's gonna work.

I doubt it will be a problem but if anything crops up i'll drop ya an email, may be easier

cheers mate.
