albertop Posted February 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Yeah, I put the nails on the part that later was planed so the wood wings where intact. About the channel, do it just before you glue the top, it would help a lot because I imagine you´re not gonna use a pickguard. If the neck blank is too expensive for you maybe you can use a slim blank and glue another wood where the body is gonna be, you wouldn´t notice because your using a maple top. Your neck blank can be a little more thick than what will be your neck so you have room to carve and then you can do a scarf joint at the headstock and add the wood at the body like I suggest. It´s the easiest way I can think of. I´m in Peru and here the mahogany it´s cheap, the problem is getting maple and other hard woods.

Bill-Murray Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Oh, I'm going to put a half pickguard on, like the sg version of the les paul pickguard. But I still want to do the channel, it's a really good idea. You gave your headstock a 17 degree angle?? I'll do that too I guess. Thanks a bunch, I think I'm ready to start now. A few more days to clear up some stuff, then it's on to the fretboard. You'll be the first one to see it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertop Posted February 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 I use a 14 degree angle at the peghead; I have read that the 17 angle may cause some problems so I´ll do what Gibson is doing now. Good luck man, you can be dumb if you´re a Zeppelin fan , finally I could listen How the West Was Won, awesome concert, truly amazing, cheers Alberto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I posted the pics, but I don´t think I can win, it seems that the polka dot flying V is very popular. Now whish me luck for real, I will need it Zeppelin rocks, I´m such a huge fan, best regards Alberto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
