  1. okay, Now this is a kinda of continue of my previous post and is only to clear some doubts that have been haunting my project. Let's beggin shall we: 1 - In the body, I've read that mohogany is a warm sounding wood. I believe this would be a good wood to base a metal guitar right? What does all those mapple tops and flame mapple tops you guys talk about change in the sound of the guitar ? Or is it just a looks? 2 - From what I've always heard EMG pickups have their own tone, wich can be a good thing, while DiMarzio and Seymour Duncan take much more from the wood quality (good wood - good sound). How far is this true? 3 - Fretboard woods (mapple, redwood, ebony)... what are the main differences between them ? (okay this is will be dumb) does it change the sound ? 4 - What else does change the overall tone of the guitar? 5 - How do you know the dimensions for the (I don't know the name in english) you know where the neck conects with the body? are they standard? Thanx in advance, and sorry for my bad english P.S: Sorry if I look like a pain in the ass kind of guy (I probably am) but you know I'm one of those curious, want to know it all...
  2. Hey guys, I've been browsing my guitar mags colection and finally found the one I was looking for... The guitar I was talking about is a Yamaha RGX 420S-D6. As far as the guitar quality goes I don't know if it's a good / bad guitar... But this switch is very handy...
  3. Brian maybe that's something like that, but I really wanted to switch to bridge and volume full nothing else, all the rest I want to remain the same... know what I mean? Just an extra switch...
  4. Hey, This is my first post so be kind Since I visited this site for the first time, this was last week, I've commited myself into building my own guitar as soon as I can afford it / feel secure to do it. While planing on the possible models I could base on, it came to me an idea. I one saw a review to a Yamaha model, not sure but It was some baritone model supposed to be tuned to B,anyway, this model had this switch that overrided the settings you had, I mean imagine you were playing with your neck pickup at half volume, if you fliped the switch it would switch to bridge pickup FULL VOLUME!! That is really cool and very handy for the kind of music I play... Is there anyway I can buy this switch or make on to put it on my up and coming Custom homemade Guitar?
