Scott Rosenberger Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 looks good!!! I'm wondering about the headstock, why not put the glue joint under the fingerboard? Scarf joint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AlexVDL Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 looks good!!! I'm wondering about the headstock, why not put the glue joint under the fingerboard? Scarf joint Probably because this way you have a bigger glued surface, so it's stronger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckguitarist Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 Are you using the "Fuzz Research Labs 1959 LP JR" plans? I'm making by guitar with them (some modifications though, larger scale length, bolt-on neck, different wiring) I was originally going to make a BC Rich Beast style guitar, but the thought of cutting the body shape out scared the sh!t outta me. If these are the plans you are using I would be interested in trading notes with you on it. Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cr_XD Posted July 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 scott, i did the head that way, because i didn´t have enough wood for the neck, the piece i bought was meant for a bolt on no angled headstock, and the lp dc has 7 cm of wood into the body of the guitar, so i took that piece from lefties from the body, i would have liked to be ablo to put the grain in the same direction, but wasn´t able to do it aaron, i´m using those plans indeed, with a few mods as you, theese are: string through body (no tailpiece) tune-o-matic recessed into the body, so i don´t hace to worry about neck angle 24 frets or maybe longer to hide the joint to the body, cos i´m not using neither two pick ups or a pickguard, another option is to paint the front of a solid color. i´m also thinking about fitting a tune-o-matic piezo bridge, but don´t know if it´s worth it (does anybody knows if it truly sounds acoustically or maybe not like an acoustic but only good?) the last thing i´ve been messing around with is changing the pots with those potentiometers that slide, tiny ones, i think i´d like how it would look, but maybe it´s a bit annoying when using it. my mail is caballo_d_carton@hotmail.com, feel free to mail me if you like, or just post here, i read it all see you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
