Some wonderful original material on soundcloud Darryl.... I'm not a Metal guy, more a 'popular music' guy, either way I liked your sound bites a lot. If you ever get to put vocals up with them be sure to let me know and I'll forward the links to some radio PD's I know and see if we can get some East coast air-play...

Your LP is looking super sweet too... I'm sure you'll impress us all with another soundcloud track with it as the star ...

FW - done heaps of research mate. Cheers for the advice though. I realise that the time will come for me to implement my research so I appreciate every little bit of info that comes my way. I just went to eBay and found what tools I could from there. Let's hope the quality is good! If all else fails I will give your suggestions a crack

Thanks Marcel! I love just about all music. But I grew up listening to Randy Rhoads, so that stuff has rubbed off on me somewhat. Not much of a singer though. Seems easier to try and be Joe Satriani than it is to belt out some vocals! Haha!

The guitar is coming along well too. As soon as it's all done, I will post some clips. Bit of metal. Bit of blues. Something like that. Clean and dirty. I don't like using too much gain anyway coz it kills your attack. I like the sound of Jake E Lee on Bark at the Moon: overdriven, but every note is clean and screams!

I'd figured mate, but it never hurts to make the suggestions just in case. The number of times I've read something here that's saved me from a booboo is too large to count.
Document it if you can as there's probably a few people would be interested in the process and how you've worked through it.

[darryl.bellotti]

Yeah man. I appreciate it. Any feedback you have, feel free to post it. It's only going to help

[WeirdBits]

A bit of heat can sometimes help too if you encounter a stubborn fret.

[darryl.bellotti]

I pulled the frets. They came out WAY easier than I thought and without any damage! Pumped! I'll post pics soon ...

[FrankenWashie]

Sweet! Always nice to get a good result.

Top news Darryl.

The frets have gone in well. I have one fret which is slightly higher than all the others. I'm going to try and set it down more into the fretboard, then start my levelling process. They look so cool now though, that I don't really want to work them lower. It'd be great if I could just adjust the high frets and leave th rest ... not sure how that'd work though ...
