  1. when u attach the template to route the neck why not just use a fine saw and cut the binding along the edges so the router wont tear a huge section off. Just the small bit along the neck side edge of the pocket? I don't see why it wouldn't work this way but then again I've never tried
  2. Hey guys long time no post I decided to take some time off from posting my builds till i felt i had made an instrument of decent quality. I think i finally have body- single piece of mahogany stained and finished to look rusted TOM bridge and thru body furrels Matching mahogany pickup cover currently an EMG 81 installed neck-3 piece maple bolt on neck. (no pics yet sorry but soon) control are just one volume to the output. here it is: here is it outside, front shot: And here is a side shot to show how thin it is:
  3. Hello everyone long time no post. I was asked a question earlier today and started thinking what would happen my self. The question was what would happen if you were to plug a combo amp, with no built in speaker output, to a cab? More specificly it was a line 6 spider III 120 watt into a randall 2x12 made to handle 160watts. Now the line 6 does not have a speaker out but does have a line out for recording or headphones. Could this work (saftley!) as opposed to having to add your own line out? Or would your amp and/or cab get fried?
  4. Im not sure were those pics went from my posts. I still have them on my laptop if you want me to re-post them. I admit after lookihn back at them all i can say is wow thank goodness i fixed that
  5. Thanks man. I realy like the art. The top wolf is in detail and seriouse looking to show the heavy music side fo me but the bottom wolf is done in a more aboriginal painting style to show that side of me.
  6. Well it has been a super long since i posted any progress on this build. Lots of good things happening with my band right now Anywho here is were it is currently: http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash...4_6417506_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc...1_1290104_n.jpg http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#...mp;id=506962201 Only a few layers of clear over it in these photos. There is many more ont here now i just dont have access to a camera at the moment Any comments or suggestions are welcomed with open arms. Phill.
  7. @ our souls inc: How do you go about making your speed knobs? Ive been meaning to make some for my current project but i dont have a lathe. p.s sorry for hijaking the thread My knobs on my old cory zenox measure 15/16 on top and 1" on bottom
  8. treat it as you would any other type of wood working project: always leave room for error as they do often occur, i cant realy say how much to leave for sanding. its realy up to you how much work you want to do sanding it and how comfident you are in your tools that they dont cause catostophic problems lol. Personaly i try to get my baords as flat and even as possible within the limit of its thickness. (planing down to be flat and ending up with 3/4"thats ment to be 1-3/4"dont make much sense does it?). Im no master builder or anything either. Im sure one of the vastly more experirnced builders here will be able to help you out. best of luck on your project.
  9. The first guitar I built was a King V and it was from a cuttingboard made up of glued up squares of wood lol. The tone was however terrible!!!
  10. Try here it may help. Fridge http://www.flatearthguitars.com/files/Stan...er_Template.jpg
  11. No problem dude and good luck with your project. will be looking forward to pics of the build
  12. Wouldnt it be difficult to reach the upper fretts with that cut-out?
  13. hello Bugi. From the sounds of it your ibanez has a diffrent scale than what you originaly thought(wich seems unlikly). is the ibanez a 24 fret as well? My only sugestion is triple check all the measurments on Wfrett and Stew-Mac and your fretboard. This may help: http://www.projectguitar.com/tut/neck.htm the measurments for a 25.5" are about 3/4 down the page in metric and imperial. good luck on your project id hate to see a good peice of maple go to waste.
  14. well at first i would have suggested using a router and a template but that is unnavailible... i would say get a flat peice of wood or buy a sanding block and use some good old fashioned elbow grease. if you intend to build more guitars i suggest getting urself a router, flush trim bit and make yourself some templates. beleive me it saves so mush work and frustration. (keep in mind i am by no means an expert at all and have limited experience with hand tools ) good luck to you my friend
  15. It realy isnt that great of a guitar. The neck was severly miss-aligned. The high E string was off the frett board. Fixed that up though all the electronics were not even wired up!. Currently putting it back together. Im not so sure its the ET200 though. notice the strange curve near the bridge as well as were the strap button is. the ET200 is almost a completly diffrent body from this one. same bridge however. thanks for the imput everyone.
