Amazingly real burst-looking!! Looks like it belongs in a museum!
Only problem I see is shipping that fine guitar in that case! Looks way sparse, and the guitar looks like it would float around.

Not sure why it would be a problem. How would anyone know?stanbog":1ftzyqke said:Stunning... actually way beyond it. Congrats!
Out of curiousity: Is it safe to travel abroad with a replica? I hear some horror stories here in EU.

Not sure I understand the question... Does what bother it? The LP? I don't even have it yet - these pics re from the builder...fuzzyguitars":3tpitwpu said:
BTW - my issue is in my brain, not my hands. Musician's Dystonia is caused by your brain telling your hand to do extraneous movements that you are not consciously telling it to do. My hand itself is fine and it doesn't matter what guitar I play... Just got a new round of shots and my hand is really good right now!

I've never heard of this. So even when you don't play your guitar or have it in your hands, your brain makes you play air guitar, sort of intermittently?

No, it is only when playing guitar. I have no problems with any other activity and my brain doesn't tell my hand to do anything weird without a guitar in my hand. What happens is that when I have a guitar in my hand and I try to play, my middle and ring fingers on my left hand automatically and uncontrollably curl up and go under the fretboard when I try to play chords. My brain tells it to do that even though I'm not consciously wanting them to do that. If I'm playing solo, I do better, but those fingers still pull away and down from the fretboard and makes things difficult and uncomfortable. The motion disorder doctor I go to tells me that it is fairly common in stringed instrument players and can effect either hand - about 1 in 100 stringed instrument players get it. They think that people susceptible to it get it from the repetitive motion from endless practice and their brain gets messed up and tells the hand to do this extraneous stuff when you try to play.billsbigego":2bqdae7v said:sah5150":2bqdae7v said:Not sure I understand the question...

The only accepted treatment (which I undergo), is botox injections straight into the muscles effected. Last week, I got four shots deep into the muscles that control the curling of the middle and ring fingers. What it does is paralyze the muscles (if they get the amount right) enough that they ignore the brain telling it to do the extraneous motions, while allowing the conscious actions (e.g., I want my finger HERE on the fretboard) to happen. Too much and you hand gets weak, too little and it does't work at all. It's all trial and error and kinda painful. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't and the effect peaks in a month and then slowly goes away. You can only have the shots once every three months. This is my fourth treatment and they seem to have gotten it good this time - playing much better already and it's been only 5 days... Condition is currently incurable... this is just a treatment...

I thought I was subscribed, but wasn't, so I didn't see the pics until now. That's gorgeous
I have a folder named "Guitar Porn" that I use to store pictures of awesome guitars. I stole your photos and put them in there

I wonder if a anti seizure med like Gabapentin would help with something like that?
Course that'd be something to discuss with your dr.
Years ago I basically turned my left had to hamburger in an industrial accident and they prescribed me Gabapentin to chill the nerves out since they were scrambled (literally).
Also things like therapeutic massage at the nerve origin (in your case it would be from the hand to your spine) can also help 'free up' entrapped nerves so they can slide (yes they slide) in the nerve
sheath & soft tissue.
That can help shut down over active nerve signals.
Once again, if it sounds of interest, speak with your doc first.

IF customs find out it's a replica, then the big mess happens. But you're right, i guess they could never tell the difference.sah5150":3drrtuoq said:Not sure why it would be a problem. How would anyone know?stanbog":3drrtuoq said:Stunning... actually way beyond it. Congrats!
