  1. bill jehle, a member of the site builds heaps. if you do a searh on jehle you should find a lot of info abour cigar bax guitars. here is a link to bills site as well. cheers darren
  2. wsc sell them, don't know about the quality though? wsc website cheers darren
  3. hi guys please forgive me if i'm wrong, but if the neck is a 24.75 scale neck, and the body is a 24.75 scale body, then it doesn't matter how many frets are on the neck, the bridge will be in the same position fo a 24.75 scale neck with 24 frets, 22 frets, 21 frets or 30 frets. the 12th fret is in the same position if the necks are the same scale length. again, i could be completely wrong on this, but i don't see a problem at all (or am i missing the problem??) cheers darren edit: sorry just realised that the issue would arise with the neck pocket (i'll just take my foot out of my mouth now!!)
  4. hey prostheta where did you find this info, was it put onto the net yesterday (ie: 1 April) cheers darren
  5. how about angie - rolling stones hard luck woman - kiss lightning crashes - live i recently heard an acoustic version of creep by radiohead. its off their pablo honey album, sounded great. really though, do they have to be specifically acoustic? there are so many songs you could adapt just listen to a few unplugged albums, you could turn any song acoustic. cheers darren
  6. quite honestly, when i saw the template at the start of the thread i was totally hating it. but seeing it in the flesh (so to speak) i am loving this build. can't wait to see the finished product. workmanship is spot on too! cheers darren
  7. i really love the overall vibe of this guitar. the retroness (is that a word?) is really cool. i agree with Xanthas about the pickups, but if you are definately going with a pickguard, you could always use the old swimming pool route method to reposition them. the only other thing i'm not keen on are the controls all in a straight line, i think it could have flowed better if they followed the body lines, but hey, it's your guitar. anyway, don't take my opinions as a criticism of your design, because i love the shape (i may even steal it for my first build! ) keep up the good work, and don't forget to update with your progress, i will be waiting to see how it turns out. cheers darren
  8. why not just redrill the holes to the size of your larger dowels?? cheers darren
  9. try this link. pdf form, will print to full size. cheers darren
  10. ralph could you please pm me with a price for shipping a set of the generators to me. cheers darren
  11. here one that was built by a member on this site. clicky cheers darren
  12. hey do you ship to australia, and do you stock the firepower humbucker set?? cheers darren
  13. ...if you inlayed the headstock backwards!! cheers darren
  14. you could always copy the original pickguard, athough a little unimaginative! cheers darren
  15. your best bet would be to buy brass angle. i've got some that is about 5mm thick and about 50mm x 50mm. i think i paid about $5 for it. you can get it thicker than 5mm too. you could cut down one side to whatever height you require with a hacksaw and file smooth (or with an angle grinder if you are lazy like me!). if the base plate is too thick, you could recess the body a bit. i find that drilling pilot holes in brass is a bad thing, the drill bit seems to grab in the pilot hole and does not give a good clean hole (at least in my experience, although i don't have a drill press, just a hand drill). when you drill for the countersink, drill that first, then drill through for the screw hole. cheers darren
