I was going to do binding next, but since there is a lot of intrest for the
Neck carving I thought I would go ahead and film it. I've just started
filming and plan on having the filming done, editing done and pressing
within 2 weeks. You can pre-der the DVD at   

                   http://www.mayesmusic.com

the price will go up a bit when it is ready so get
yours now and save a
few bucks.

Thanks!John Mayes38430.0293171296

I will still hold a contest for the videos here on the olf, but if you win I'll
send you a refund check with your DVD's so you can pre-order and still
enter the drawing when it rolls around....

[QUOTE=FrankC] Hey John...My pre-order is in and looking forward to

I'm probably going to follow the NEck video right up with the binding one.
Because then after that I jut have neck sets, inlay, final clean up and
fitting and those videos will be slightly cheaper as they will not be as in
depth I don't expect. Well I mean not as much footage as I should be able
to cover it rather quickly.

And of course I'll give one away on the olf when it is time.

I think I'm also going to just do the inlay on this video as well. As I'm
going to be doing the fingerboard dots I might as well cover the logo
inlay on this one too.. so it is a double feature!

:)

Yes the fretboard and headstock will be bound. I'll only cover scale
length in passing, as I'm not going to get in to the technical aspects of
calculating the scale, but show how I do it.

Thanks guys!

update:

I got through with making the fingerboard, headplate, inlay, and rough
neck cut out. I should be able to get through the rest of the neck
tomorrow. Then I'll edit the videos and they will be good to go. If you
can I would suggest ordering now, because at the rate I'm filling up the
tapes here this could be three DVD's....

Also the coupon for the 10% off does not apply to the pre-order since I've
knocked the price down it anyway. IT will apply once it is released, but
you'd save more to order it now. Thanks everyone.

Thanks John, I got your mail. I'm now looking forward to getting the DVD's. Will you ship the 5 I ordered now and then send the neck DVD when it is ready?

Yes that is exactly what I'm going to do. In fact I'm heading to the post
office in shortly (I like to use the automated thing after hours)
