Dont get a cheap Floyd. The good ones have enough trouble. A cheap floyd copy will not sit right, will not intunate, and will get chewed up on the posts. I know cause I've been there. I got a Jackson one, which is pretty good. It was only like 70-80 bucks, and its fairly good quality. Hard steel, heavy duty screws.

I gotta go with the one piece 1. Because somebody finally did it. 2. The carves and inlay look really nice. and 3. Anybody who creates a semihollow out of a solid chunk of wood deserves props! Great job!

For the Jem 20th anniversary that was made of plastic, Ibanez used special pickups to use with the plastic. You may wanna check those out.

Mccarties are in fact thicker than the customs. I wish prs still made archtops-those are some sweet instruments.

It looks like PRS has a LP Double Cut type design. http://www.prsguitars.com/mira/index.html Its just missing the maple cap. Just do whatever you want. Pretty much everything is feasible.

I was there, one of the only kids. It was incredible, thanks for the pictures. I got a few I'll be sharing. got any from day 2?

How come the replies are in a list format by post, not displaying the reply. Its really a pain to go through them, it there a way to change it so that I see each reply?

If anybody has a 12 string neck, Im probably interested. Preferably an electric, but I may be able to use one off an acoustic.

Hey all, I have a cheap piece of crap chinese Jem copy that I've been modding and working with to make it a decent stage guitar, but the licensed floyd rose bridge has been chewed up by the post, doesnt pivot well, and is obviously a worthless POS. So i was wondering, are there any Licenesed Floyd Roses that will function and not go wildly out of tune, or is the only solution a real one? What about the guitar fetish ones?

Lookin good so far, Ive been wanting to do a 12 string for awhile. As for the ash, you should fill it with black epoxy, and then do a translucent color of your choice over it. I did it with blue once, and it was awesome. Later i screwed up royally and just painted it black. Thats my recomendation.

That is beautiful!

It should be perfectly fine adding something to a floyd rose if you advertise it in that manner. Its the same as people making modifications to pickups. As for mentioning that it is a Floyd Rose, its probably to your advantage. Just my .02

go to www.reranch.com, and read ReRanch 101. Then take a look at other articles. Its a big help.

Blood spatter paint job! As for body changes, i would find a way to make the lower cut look like a blade.

Hey everybody, I'm getting into electronics and have been looking at plans for homemade effects pedals(runoffgroove, etc). I kinda just want the experience but I dont exactly want to waste my time for something that turns out so bad i cant use. So, any recomendations?

Its definately a marketing tool. Same as the Ford GT. Ford isnt making much money on the thousand or so 150K cars relative to their sales, but they become an American Car company that runs with Ferrari. If they did offer them for 1500 and they did catch on, it would lose a lot of its glamour. If Ford GTs became 30K and everyone started driving them, people would lose interest because of how many they see and also how much the price is. Just my thoughts. Its a pretty cool guitar, and I'm sure many of us would prefer to discuss how its done and/or how it could possibly be emulated (a rather daunting feat) rather than argue marketing. Edit. You guys should read this page. http://www.jemsite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57727 The all green isnt really how it is; it appears that a green LED changes much of the color to green but some of it stays the same color.

Ive often wondered about this and had a discussion with somebody who had researched it, and he had done it on some of guitars. He would shave down the heel, and apparently that was not simply for better access. I dont remember the details about it. If you are doing a singlecut, I would say go for it. For a doublecut, you arent much better off.

Do the community a favor and rid the lushness of the forest from this , soon to be decomposing, tree stump. That way more nature will be able to use the space.

Thats kinda what I had figured. So if I'm doing a set neck, would it be best to keep the center strip solid and have the chambers on the sides?

I'm working on a mahogany back maple top PRS sort of hollowbody, and I'm wondering, what does one gain from a hollowbody. I'm guessing that it sounds more acoustic-like, and I've heard that one loses sustain. Any enlightenment on the advantages/disadvantages of hollows?

sorry wrong topic

Looks really good. You just gotta love a simple but classy natural guitar.

Looks pretty sweet, nice and thin. I especially like the jack.

Sorry to interupt all of this profound progresssion, but i have a question. I have a cheap humbucker in the neck position, and i plan on scrapping one of the coils for the driver, and using the other coil as the neck pickup. Could i use the same magnet for both operations?

Alright, what i suggest is... Buy the components and a breadboard and build the sustainer circuit to the best of your ablility. Just make sure the electrolytic capacitors are in the right direction or they will blow up. As you go along, ask questions and troubleshoot. Use a small speaker with a guitar to test if its working. You will probably need to ask about biasing when you get to that. This is the path I'm on, and i think its better than just following the directions because you actually gain understanding of the whole thing. I wish i had used a breadboard instead of soldering, cuz i definately made some mistakes that were hard to correct. Hope this helps.
