!!METAL MATT!! Posted December 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Matt, how are you cutting your neck pockets hears a pic of a 7-string pickup Jig on one half and a neck Jig on the other in progress, Oh ya the lines that you see where for the neck they have notheing to do with the pickup Jig at all. Dave I make all my own Jig's by hand and for the cuting I use a router bit with a guide on it that follows the edge of my Jig's, and while Iam at it I may as well show you guy's some of the large tool's I use for building my guitars!! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v488/ZAD...ec12089shop.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v488/ZAD...ec12090shop.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v488/ZAD...ec12091shop.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v488/ZAD...ec12093shop.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v488/ZAD...ec12094shop.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v488/ZAD...ec12095shop.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v488/ZAD...ec12097shop.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v488/ZAD...ec12096shop.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v488/ZAD...ec12099shop.jpg !!METAL MATT!!

!!METAL MATT!! Posted December 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 (edited) Nice tools. Who's shop is that?When you say you made the neck pocket jig by hand, how did you do it? Did you cut and file it by hand? Well the shop belongs to A friend of mine we meet about 3-4 years ago and he took a real likeing to my guitars so he gave me full use of his shop [oak work's] any time day or night if it wasent for him I would have never got this far!! As for the neck Jig I trace the the neck that iam working on then I cut out the rough shape then I sand it with a small sanding drum this method work's very well for me but it take's time to get it just right!! !!METAL MATT!!

Hughes Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 oh sorry, what i meant about how does one pickup sound is because i only played guitars with either 2 humbuckers, or 2 singles, or 1 single with 1 humbucker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
