Ok, so i got a new laptop and deviantart kinda dropped off my radar because hey let's face it, 90% of it is tweenage girls/porn/twilight slash fiction/a combination of all of these (my keyboard feels dirty just typing that) but anyways.
THE JUICY NEWS!
I've started a new custom guitar for myself to celebrate an unconditional offer from London Metropolitan University to study BSc Musical Instruments (making and learning about acoustic guitars). so that was a combo of news. for £140 i got a 1 peice Cuban Mahogany body blank and a bookmatched Zebrano top, all planed to thickness. so far i've attached the top, cut the body to shape, sanded and smoothed the faces, routed out the Floyd Rose cavity (yeah thats right, Floyd Rose) and the pickup and neck cavities. next on the to do list is route the electrical cavity which requires me to make a template, then contouring the back to make it light and comfortable. after that i'm needing the bursary fairy to buy me some Bareknuckle Aftermaths or perhaps a set of Black Hawks and all the electrickery. then it's just finishing. the neck i'm recycling from my first guitar, except i've re-profiled it for a d-shape shred style neck, and am going to re-lacquer it and paint the headstock with my own logo (branding ftw). Pics to come.
also, i've given up on the Ibanez again. respraying it was costing too much for a guitar that isn't ever going to be top shelf. maybe i'll pick it up when i've run out of things to drink at uni
annd also over christmas, i made my darling lady love Elise a set of earrings to match her pendant, more pics to follow

Ok, soooo i have 4000 views. but you knew that already. question is, why am i updating? maybe i have interesting things to share? perhaps i've some news which is both earth shattering and exciting? perhaps i want to pique your brains with a croute d'ete of knowledge?
well ok so it was the first one.
my previously extinct Ibanez RG350DX is on it's way to making a full recovery. in case i didn't say, the bridge section, which had previously suffered damage, had begun pulling up under the force of the floyd rose trem, causing the strings to detune and the trem to rub on the pickguard, making it unplayable. as a result, i had to use super thin
Update Fail?
kk, so i guess i should REAAALLLY update more often, i mean my last one was may 11th and it's now september 16th, so that's like 4 months 5 days. tho tbh not much has gone on.
so i'll start with general crap. passed 2/3 of my exams, the other was physics so i mean, fuck that right? schools all about wound up now except weald still refuse to tell me my actual english grade. soooo not impressed by that. i'm trying to get a job so i can start buying things and stuff again, in the majority it's guitar stuff. but nigh on 3000 quid for my ideal setup is a tall order. oh i'm also trying to pay my way through music colledge so i can actually get a j
