"I'm very pleased with they wat they came out ..."
As you should be--those guitars are f'ing hot!
They are so sexy (and your photography skills are catching up, too). I want one.[This message was edited by Mike Neer on 10 July 2005 at 05:00 PM.] |

Rick, those dustpans with the MRI pickups sure do look nice. Outstanding workmanship. Great looking castings.
I have one of Rick's MRI pickups in a guitar I just finished building out of wild cherry, and it sounds terrific. I am well pleased.

RICK, they are all beautiful,but I'm like some of the other guys; I want to know how they sound,do they stay in tune(temperature changes,etc.) One thing for sure; your persistence and determination have really paid off in ways money can't measure. Congratulations!!! They are all works of art!

Hi Rick, They look awesome. What is the scale length and are the frets machined in?

They are 22.25" scales ...
For the frets ...
I hack-sawed in the slots ... filed off the tangs on jumbo fret wire ... and set them in with methyl cyanoacrylate and steel filled epoxy (on the ends).
I don't have a milling machine ... so everything gets done with hand tools and files ...

| Rick, you are getting seriously good on the finish work! I thought it was awesome enough that you could just cast a frypan-shaped lump of aluminum in the first place. These are just too much -- are you sure you are charging enough money for them? |

| Well my friend, you definitely have great hands. Would you ever consider polishing the sides? |

Thanks y'all ...
Kris ... The sides and back have the same "finish" as the pan ...
I worked harder on the fretboard ... as far as luster ...

"I'm having enough trouble just giving them away"-------
I can help you solve that problem of giving them away----In that case just give me two. 
Seriously those are really something to be very proud of. I don't think you will have any trouble with people wanting to buy them. |
