Re: My New Stick
rod,
pretty sure they are different companies mate... i could be wrong, but im nearly poisitive they aren't.
i used to own a internature viper, which is similar to the samick outlander, and i have a magazine page comparing the two, which would probably mean they are from different companys?

well that looks easy enough... always imagined filing would take hours and hours of hard work... approximately (sp?) how long does it take to file a bevel like that?
