  1. It depends on what the fret scale is. On a fender strat for instance it has a 25 1/2 in fret scale so when you have the sadles on the bridge centered to where there is a equal amount of adjustment forword and backword the saddle would be 25 1/2 in from the nut. But say its got a 24 3/4 fret scale like a gibson (wich technically is a 24 9/16 scale but for arguments sake will just say its 24 3/4) the sadles would 24 3/4 in from the nut.
  2. Hello I have done some looking for you and havent found anything either really your best bet is trial and error.First try out doing a rout according to the diminsions in that catalog into a 2x4 or something.If it doesn't work just trace around your trem making it a little bigger to allow for some moving room and rout that at different depths into the 2x4 until you find the sweet spot.The depths are probably very similar to a floyd roses cause I don't think ibanez would try to reinvent the whole wheel.If you need some more help pm me and I might be able to draw some up for you.Best regards cheers.
  3. Yeah I love jets tools I got a drill press thats at least 25 years old and has ben fully under water twice due to some of our missouri floods and it works like a dream and keeps comin back for more.
  4. I know this is kinda a afro engineering way of doing it but it should work. First you can make this router circle jig Then just set it up to cut a 14 in radius in some mdf or plywood then once you've got your 14 in radius hole just cut it into sections and glue them one on top of the other for as thick as you need then you should be good to go.
  5. Hello I was just wondering does anyone know how thick the body is on a firebird the neckthrough part and the non necthrough part all help is much apreciated cheers.
  6. i've heard pretty good things about them though. like good reviews etc. and relatively hot compared in DC resistance compared to most 'real' tele single coils. And a shielding job, no matter how good is it isn't gonna get rid of that 60hz hum. That's not what shielding is used for. Its a basic phenomena solely linked to single coil pups. Trust me, all my electric guitars are shielded with copper tape, and it doesn't eliminate the "single-coil hum", it just grounds/neutralizes all the damn IF or radio, etc.. waves. Firstly I'm not saying they are a bad pickup I am just saying there are beter pickups to be had in the price range also it's very true that just a good shielding job won't eliminate hum however it can be done I have seen one guitar that was shielded by a big carlos santa fan if I remember corectly but don't quote me on that but he hand cut strips of copper glued them in every cavity then he sodered all the overlaping pieces together and there was no hum what so ever and beleive me I tried.But once I found the humdebugger I was convinced that if hum bothers you that this thing is the best way to go.
  7. I would recomend staying away from the noiseless pickups pickups cause although it has less hum they have to cut down the pickups power to do so witch in turn I think makes them kinda sterile sounding I would recomend finding a good boutiqe pickup maker you could ask around on a telecaster forum to see what everyone has to say pickup wise and then look into investing in a eh humdebugger or just do a really really good shielding job.
  8. As far as the rails for routing the truss rod yeah you will probably have to make them yourself but if this is your first neck build I would recomend a hot rod truss rod as they don't requier a curved channel but as far as a neck template you can get one here guitar building templates I hope this helps cheers.
  9. Just one quick question did you by chance get the ouroborus idea from red dwarf
  10. Try this. Donate Mike But to send a money with paypal I have to knoe a email adress or a phone number to send it to and I cant find one all help is much apreciated cheers.

  12. Hey im building my own wah wah pedal and am wondering where I can get the casing that holds all the guts.
  13. If it's oil based next time you use it thin a little cup of it out with some mineral spirits that should help.
