Lookin awesome Dont tell me your gonna paint the wood black :-(

that looks beeeaautiful

red dye stain or varnish?

from outside in its oak, poplar, maple, cherry center

what kind of dye/stain (if any) would work well on this body, and what type of finish would be best for it? http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f115/usd...10/DCP_1270.jpg thanks

What do you people have to say about the best guitar/bass designt that you have ever seen? Post pics and talk about the coolest and wierdest shapes youve ever seen

anyone here ever had any experience with the infra-red lightwave pickups before? they look convincing, but so did the variax :-/

ok heres my deal im building a bass right now that will have an octave chip in it, so itll sound like a guitar. i will also have the bypass with a switch so that a signal would go through both the chip and a bypass, thus making it like an 8 string bass my question is, is that if i were to do this process again, with a second chip in series with the first one and the "1" octave and the "2" octave going around the chip, and then also have the "2" octave go through the second octave chip, would this in turn to making a 12 string bass type sound, or would the chips not be able to process them? i have a basic idea of circuitry and im pretty sure this would work, i just want to make sure it does before i waste my time thanks

i did use the search and came up with nothing.... so, have any of you tried making a fretless bass, but instead of putting some kind of resin or something on it, you would put clear coat on it with the rest of the guitar. i thought about this and if you had flatwound strings, this would still probably have a really warm sound but the fretboard would get very little wear and tear, plus it would look cool with a gloss on the fretboard. anyone tried this?

that looks amzing. flamed maple looks perfect, and the neck going through the body really looks great and really shows off the flamed maple. the laquer looks great, too. i can tell you took your time on this one

they are pretty close to the edge, but theyre in a curve...what do you mean by "out of line"?

well actually i realized that the horns probably wouldnt stay on for long, so what i did is get two tinner sheets of wood and some good strong steel reinforcement and essentially outlined the horns with it so they are actually extremely strong. then i glued the two pieces together with the supports routed in between them. the holes on the right side are for all the pots and switches and it is actually extremely well balanced, because it is kind of distorted in that pic. in the bottom part of the right half it sticks waaaaay out, but then in the middle before the horns it comes waaaaay in. plus there is a pretty big control cavity on the back, as the holes show.

scottyd - right on 8) one of the pins goes under that point on the back of it, the other is going on the back right next to the neck Jon - since the bridge is so far back on it, the angle sets the pickup core right in line with the strings

ok so pretty much i could only get a pic of the front side of my guitar, then my camera broke http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f115/usd...10/101_0080.jpg some notes - truss rod does look like it is really far up the neck joint, but if i could have gotten a pic of the joint you can see that this isnt a problem at all. that little rectangle shaped carving on the bridge is there because that half of the body is actually 5mm higher up than the other half and the neck, like a personality kinda thing. i would appreciate all criticism. thanks

My best guess would be tinted nail hole filler. I use it all the time at work and it barely stands out, so i would think here that you wouldnt even be able to notice it since its so small of an area
