rhoads56 Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 yeah your right. Ok, next question. If you cut the nut too low on a new guitar, do you throw the entire guitar away, just the neck, replace the nut, or repair it? On Dan's WOMD, i broke a string when i was stringing it up for the first time. Im ashamed of myself for not burning that guitar now. Quote Link to comment

On Dan's WOMD, i broke a string when i was stringing it up for the first time. Im ashamed of myself for not burning that guitar now. the brutalizer had Alot more problems than all that, one BIG one is that in my eyes that body was crap and I no longer wanted to build it and waste any more time with it! it was way to thin, the neck sat lose in the pocket, I was unhappy with the way the jack turned out, my electronics cavity was to large and badly done on my part (another thing I learnd from Jeremy) , because the body was so thin the heal was to thin and I think that under string tension it would have given way and busted off So I knew this one was dead and I wanted to have some fun with it so I did the design it's self is cool but It needs work but It wount be the last one I build !!METAL MATT!!

Mickguard Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 yeah your right. ← So how are you going to fix it? Or is it already fixed? Matt, I agree, at a certain point, if the project has too many problems, it's time to bag it and move on (and yeah, have some fun along the way). Especially if you lose your enthusiasm for the project, means it's just not meant to be. How about a nice soft n' curvy guitar for your next project? Pink would be a nice color. Quote Link to comment
TGwaH Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 (edited) How about a nice soft n' curvy guitar for your next project? Pink would be a nice color. ← I laughed at the idea of a pink guitar once, then I saw a pink strat and liked it. What does Fender call it? Shell pink? EDIT: Ha, found it...

jmrentis Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Perry I say make a shark themed guitar, and in the spot that got chipped make a cut in the shape of a shark bite, like you see on those surfboards, you know the ones that belong to the people with the missing legs, or 500 stitches,lol. I think that would be fun, thats a better idea than firewood imo. J Quote Link to comment
!!METAL MATT!! Posted December 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 How about a nice soft n' curvy guitar for your next project? Pink would be a nice color. Well my next guitar is going to be A vintage style flying V body with A 3d green flamed maple top,I think it's going to be A semi hollow body 14 string guitar (Just like A 12-string but bassed on A 7-string) Im also thinking that it may be fun to try Some kind of A cool F hole thing, I think I'll be useing An EMG for the pickup but Im not sure yet, So I want it to be something new for me and still have A modern look !!METAL MATT!!

Very cool idea. I'd like to hear some sound clips once you get that done. Not to toot my own horn, but I'm rather proud of the patriotic f hole I have on my build right now. F hole with a maple leaf in the centre. Quote Link to comment

Outside of providing a image to match the title. Look I was going to come in and tell you that I wount repeat my self again But Im going to be Nice! the brutalizer had Alot more problems than all that, one BIG one is that in my eyes that body was crap and I no longer wanted to build it and waste any more time with it! it was way to thin, the neck sat lose in the pocket, I was unhappy with the way the jack turned out, my electronics cavity was to large and badly done on my part (another thing I learnd from Jeremy) , because the body was so thin the heal was to thin and I think that under string tension it would have given way and busted off So I knew this one was dead and I wanted to have some fun with it so I did the design it's self is cool but It needs work but It wount be the last one I build !!METAL MATT!!

soapbarstrat Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 because the body was so thin the heal was to thin and I think that under string tension it would have given way and busted off ← Wouldn't something like this be very obvious in the early stages ? Could have made a decent metal wall clock. You know how hard it is to find metal wall clocks this time of the year. Quote Link to comment

I have a 12-string Strat (with the vintage hockey-stick neck) that sounds great, and also sounds great as a baritone 6, so I took the next logical step. Sounded like crap. Quote Link to comment
!!METAL MATT!! Posted December 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Wouldn't something like this be very obvious in the early stages ? Yes it was but I was willing to give it A try and hope for the Best! but now I want to start off knowing it will work, and not take that chance Don't bother. I have a 12-string Strat (with the vintage hockey-stick neck) that sounds great, and also sounds great as a baritone 6, so I took the next logical step. Sounded like crap. Ya Im also thinking that the hollow body thing wont work! With the head stock holding so many tuneing pegs and A Maple neck the the guitar will be really neck heavy, and Im thinking the Sound will be Flat and thin so Im sticking to A solid body, still I love the idea of trying a 14 string! Im just not sure how I should do the Bridge !!METAL MATT!! Quote Link to comment
erikbojerik Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 My baritone 12 sounded like mud, so maybe the trick on a 14 is to tune the octave strings on the B and E two octaves up instead of one. There are many possibilities... Quote Link to comment

There are many possibilities... ← Veillette makes a perfectly great Baritone 12. Yes, it's acoustic-based, but some models have mixed piezo and magentic pickups, and they most certainly don't sound like mud. Might take a bit of fine-tuning in terms of how exactly to tune it, and I doubt neck pickups would be terribly useful. Quote Link to comment

Curtis P Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 well, i would have drilled tinny holes in it all over it and then soaked in a WD40/gas mixture, and stood back! Curtis Quote Link to comment
