  1. you missed something.... made in Croatia ! sve najbolje ! :D
  2. So.. I'm interested in your way of fretting maple necks ! ok, lets skip almost the whole build and talk about sequences. my way should be like this. - making the neck, just like the one with rosewood and etc. either way, one piece or putting a maple fingerboard. - sanding - lacquering - putting frets (and all work on them) - polish + it's easier to remove frets (after) - lacquer can break in process of hammering the frets, or putting major scratches in finish - lacquering over frets... hmmmm... I see that almost everyone does like that... but cleaning them, and changing them later would be pain in the ass. I don't know anymore .... I will give it a try and lacquer over frets. it's more safer that work will be done perfect ! so... - making the neck (shape, contour....) - sanding - fretting - removing all scratches (IF) - lacquering - cleaning frets - polish I'm open for your tips & tricks best wishes !
  3. for contouring... sharp chisel, scraper and a lot of sanding paper. in my case ! but, dremel with sanding disc could do it the same ! http://www.toolking.com/media/catalog/product/s/a/sand.jpg I just like the control of hand tools. makes me feel more secure
  4. I'm using dremel for jobs like this. my router is too big for that. but, the dremel is also on stand. first, make outline contour. cut the outline shape, make it nice. and then rout the cavity on proper depth and wide, while the top of the bridge is still flat. drill the holes for pins, and finally make the top contour. sand it and glue it last ! ebony is hard wood and there is no fear of breaking something.
  5. make your own ! in shape whatever you want it ! as i can see, the bridge is already glued off of top. put a wet towel and iron it and try pull it of. heat a knife or something like that and push it under. the job is half done ! take everything from bridge, take another piece of ebony and copy the broken bridge. just do it !
  6. damn ! looks perfect ! do you sell those or it's just for your builds and your needs ??
  7. something I liked (for that) is what I saw in one video at youtube.... vacuum stick build in the table. like ones for the glass (etc car gps) but in much bigger edition ! but, since I never found anything like that to buy, I just use this what member "Mender" said ! works well.... (for now)
  8. I'm buying it, NOT selling. How many of each are you looking for? 2 pieces of one kind of wood above mentioned (1 would be OK too) What are you willing to pay? quality (again, depends on type of above wood) Do you understand that chances are someone would go out and have to buy a whole board to be able to get these for you? well.... I could do that. I'm looking for scrape in that dimensions (left over) Are you prepared to buy more than you need? What I'm planing to do is not so frequent build, so it would be great if amount of wood is only for this.
  9. so, I'm buying some of these woods for neck lamination: maple purpleheart walnut bloodwood ebony (+ ebony for fingerboard 4"wide 23"long) bubinga lamination dimensions: 40" long 1" wide 0,7874 thick payment via paypal worldwide !
  10. man... that's awesome !!!! and, your grass is so fat and green :D and, could you tell me (at private msg) the price of this kind of guitar ?! made by you ?!!?
  11. sorry, but I think that you could do a better sanding job on it. I think, that it would be even better results while dyeing it.
  12. classic bullshit ! friendly prices, but they steal you like a fool ! give me a measurements, and I'll see what and how to process that ! alles gute !
  13. me, me, me, me.... 6 x 75 x 700 mm would be fine for anything (el. or acoustic guitar)
  14. 5$ is not big money, and you shouldn't spare on that ! :D I read your last topic, and can you tell where is your location ? I bet that someone is willing to help. (including me)
