Re: Premier Resto-mod using Rockenwraps
I can't tell you which picture is more beautiful, the finger or the Carvin.

Oh, and here's the Carvin.

Some people just shouldn't be allowed to handle sharp objects!
Just kidding Scooter, but that looks painful. My lead guitarist cut into TWO of his fingers just before a gig a couple of weeks ago. He needed stitches but didn't want a big ole bulky bandage because he wouldn't be able to play. But lemme tell ya, he was in one big hurry to get that gig over with!

Re: Premier Resto-mod using Rockenwraps
totally awesome stuff scooter, you did a great job dude! like we say on the construction site, *the job isnt done until there is blood* or *you know you did a good job, if your bleeding*
Re: Premier Resto-mod using Rockenwraps
Major props to you, Scooter. That's an excellent job.
BTW, Scott Rockenfield is a killer drummer. I loved his "chain" set. That was so totally awesome.
For those unfamiliar with the kit I mean, I'll say this.... Do you old timer's remember back in the 70's when you could get a steering wheel for your van or hot rod made out of a solid welded chain? Well, Scott Rockenfield had a drum cage built of it. Every cymbal stand and mount was a welded chain in a big cage. It was incredible. I hope I can dig up an old pic of it....

He still has a chain kit. It's not as elaborate as the one he used to have, but still cool.

Re: Premier Resto-mod using Rockenwraps
Man, Scooter, that finger's bad!
So can you now claim your kit is made from blood money?

That wrap looks a lot better than I thought it would. Nice.
