Official Luthiers Forum!

Hi everyone

I'm posting this with permission from Lance.

I'm currently restoring a heritage H-575 - a solid wood ES-175 type
guitar. I'm in need of a neck and would like to make an offer to anyone
who may be interested. I'll describe the neck below, but first I'll describe
what I'm offering (and I'm extremely flexible on this). One of the below:

- I'm willing to convert any existing non-large website into a standards
compliant site. This means your site will load cleaner, faster, and be far
more future-safe, as well as becoming extremely easy to add to or
redesign once that time comes. I can explain more about that and
address any specific questions.

- I'm willing to add a database driven CMS to any flash based site. This
means you'll go to a password protected interface on your server, write or
rewrite your text, then click update. Updating your site text will be
EXACTLY like posting to this forum. You type, hit enter, and the site is
updated. No hidden trickery. Very cool, fast, and flexible. You'll get a lot
of editorial power.

- I can spruce up a flash based site you may have. Make it smoother,
faster, etc. Cleaner...

- I'm willing to develop print work like brochures or whatever. If you're
serious, I can send you a pdf of a small book (an advent devotional) I
designed for distribution.     

My second degree is in media production, so if you have other ideas
just ask.

We can talk about limitations if you have any specific questions. Also
check out some quick personal samples here:

What I'm hoping for in return is a completed mahogany neck w/ bolt-on
joint and it's heelblock. I don't care AT ALL how you do the joint as long
as it's hardware based. I'll send you pictures of the current neck/joint,
measurements of the heel/joint area, and send you the physical neck. I
just want it to be similar, but it doesn't need to be exact. This neck is a
little different than a typical acoustic neck. Think more along the lines of
an archtop neck. So, I'm looking for a neck:      

- neck with non-inlayed ebony headplate (I'd love it to be bound, but
that's negotiable)
- non-inlayed frettted fretboard (whatever specie you might have)
- nut
- heelblock      

This is ALL negotiable! I'd like to be the one who does more work!    James Orr38845.8116782407

That's a steal of a deal! Making a neck is easy....making a website, well that's a horse of a different color. Gee James, I'm tempted to do it myself!

Don, that would be really cool. I'd love making something cool for your
acacia.

James,

That is a good offer... only problem I see is how you are going to attach the
neck with no soundhole.

I sure could use a better website...?KenMcKay38845.9573148148

Hey Ken

I'll fasten the bolt through the neck humbucker position. :)

Hi everyone

I just wanted to post really quick before I head off to school (teaching).
I've found a taker. Thanks for all the interest! I'm excited about this.
