Just a note that there is a guy over at RuKind that is trying to sell knockoff Waldo TPC1~Tiger Preamp Clone's and getting a similar blasting (ie; Neil Schulman). Seems the guy made friends with Waldo, got a hold of the buffer, the exact parts used etc.. and then tried to sell his copy to the same customer base. Apparently he also had numerous identities on the same forum allowing him to gather the information, act like various different people etc... and go unnoticed till recently.

Just in case this type of thing starts happening here, does StrangeDesign offer any kind of LifeLock identity protection? I don't want my karma score to be compromised due to this raging epidemic....

First of all Iam not selling knock off languedocs, AOs, equators, or anything like that to anybody ever. Nor do I build guitars myself, beyond garage make overs. The main guitar my new startup is doing is a 24 fret Showmaster type super strat. Like I have said over and over, there are alot of prototypes floating around. We are also doing some huge 335 type Jazz guitars, Hollow dual f hole telecasters with 24 frets. All of them use the same hardware though, which is entirely different from any guitar Ive have ever played or owned. Walker went onto my Facebook page, and just plopped a picture of that walnut guitar on here. The only times I changed user names was 2 times from Posternutbag to Ole Whiskey Calhoone (which was a reference to a cd i just finished), and then back to abbreviated nutbag "Poster".

And ironically, I bought (that is i ordered with boss money) a couple Wald Buffers from Mike to go in some of these guitars. So um yeah, we arent knocking off shit. In fact, all the components are super expensive. Lucky for me, it isnt any of my money. Really, Iam getting gooned on for absolutely no good reason. Hell I thought it was cool that when asked what kinda hollowbody guitars I think would be interesting to explore, I immediately said small hollowbody. Nobody gets it.

what do ya say you post some pic of these guitars your talking about Poster? are they ready to at least see em or still need some finishing touches? the bickering is fun to read by guitars would be cooler to look at...

maybe start a new thread with some pics if you can.

I think this thread topic needs a iso buffer, a bypass switch and carbon comp resister thingamabob.

Thanks god everyone has been "keepin it real".

QuoteIam out! Peace< And I mean that

BTW, before any posts get removed/deleted for any silly reason can someone put together a best of Poster Calhoone collection in case they go missing. It would be a damn shame to have all those memories and insights be lost forever.

Seriously though Poster I hope you don't split on us. It would not be the same without you.

Funny as hell!
I really like some of you guys. You make me laugh and there is a reason why your karma is on the up. I studied this forum for a while Before joining and most of the posts that intrigued me were by poster. If anyone is rubbed the wrong way by him, that's sad; you should have figured him out ahead of time. He always keeps it real. This site is going to be missing a shitload if great information after the mass deleting of his posts. Luckily I back up the site weekly haha:)

Sorry bud, got a bunch of prototypes. The really dope rare wood exotic stuff, with all the improvements are about a month or so away (from when the the first ones are slated to be finished- wont really know how close things are to launch until I get to go over them, and trust me, iam not easy to please). My luthier just hired a helper so things are going much faster now. Alot of the first run stuff is pretty cool, but with a couple of little wonky problems, some didnt even get all the way put together. Irregardless, of the ones that do end up in my hands (prototypes that is) I was going to happily ship them out to friends to keep and play with. Who better to tell me what needs to be fixed than some of my tone fellow tone bones. Its cool. Some of you will get something interesting in the mail this Christmas. The others, you know who you are, well you can keep on trying to figure out how to blow yourself.

In his (poster or whoever his is today) defense the headstock on his old AO was obviously a request by him to Andrew to make it a little more Lanquedoc like. So if he is coping anybody it's actually Lanquedoc (headstock wise) and not AO guitars. Those who know Andrew's designs know that style of headstock is more of a request and not his usual flavor. I know this as I have asked Andrew to do something similar even though his headstock designs are very classic and styled in their own right.

I have to disagree with this. I'm not sure of the genesis of the headstock in question, but even if it was a flat out "make the headstock look more like languedoc's" request, Andrew still totally made the shape his own. I know for a fact Andrew is going to continue to use that shape on future guitars, and he wouldn't do that with a "knock off". It's a great design inspired by a great design. That's been the progression of design across all mediums since forever.

We all love Languedoc's body shape, would you call it a knock off of the starcaster?

No, he took the essence of the shape and made it his own. I think the same thing is happening with the AO headstock.

And Poster, why tuck tail and run as soon as someone ask you a question you don't like? That's pretty lame.

Patrick, I agree that Andrew made the headstock his own in the fashion you describe. Let's forget the Lanquedoc reference entirely then as in this case it is a "progression of design". Does the headstock in question bear a striking resemblance to AO's inspired design? As well as the horns? Or is it a "progression of design".

All that aside I don't think the rest of the guitar resembles and AO at all however.
It's more like the face and tits of a hot girl (headstock down) but gave her a budunkadunk or seriously thick curves on the bottom side.

I'll say no more however as I don't want a lump of coal for Christmas.

Actually nobody has tuck tail and run. This forum has no means to block users or Id probably hangout more. Been on alot recently so that I may delete all of my old posts in the Treys Rig section, my rig, and gen discussion sections as best as I could. My problem is with Walker being a dick head, having the couple of you come in this thread and call me names like "sociopath, lame, asshole, butthole, etc" didnt really inspire me to stop removing my old advice from the forum? If you think about it, now you guys are the ones with all the posts?

As for languedoc like head stocks, look at equator, he was doing a similar thing years before ao? Same with Bunker guitars, and handful of other luthiers that do languedoc inspired guitars. A whole lot of people make guitars just like that, and all have a variation on pauls headstock... Lots of people make guitars that are similar to the doc because it is that awesome, just like a stratocaster.

^ this coming from a guy who felt the need to pad his own posts by ripping off my tab and reposting them as his own. Remember getting called out on that?

This coming from a guy who padded posts to make himself a "legend" by posting YouTube clips ad nauseum. = fodder.

This coming from a guy who has too much time on his hands and needs to whine about it publicly.

Truly, truly inspiring stuff there. Dude, you are a piece. of. work.

Dick head, eh? Kettle, meet pot.

This sounds about right.
