NickCormier Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 (edited) I ordered a fretboard this summer and they just left it outside my house... UPS is frigging stupid.. luckily it was normal temperature or it coulda really ****ed the wood up.. but still, shouldnt be able to do that.. Matt we need some updates on this thing, Gogogo btw desopolis.. Thought I just might let you know, he means -12 celcius lol O_O You may think like "God im not that dumb" but some americans honestly think the temperature goes from 60 F to -12 F as soon as you cross the border.. lol Edited October 31, 2006 by NickCormier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desopolis Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 ha, but its still 11 F im in indiana, so im not that unused to the cold.. haha.. yeah I was like DAMN! he lives THAT FAR north? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickCormier Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 hehe wow its still 11F? Here in New Brunswick, we're right next to the coast, so sometimes it gets to be like -40 C... So cold cars sometimes wont run because the gas freezes, and if your skin is exposed for more then like 10 minutes your basically screwed lol.. Those are never fun days =[[ only happens like once or twice a year, but still pretty crazy, considering we're not much more than afew hours from Maine lol.. Anyways, Back on topic! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desopolis Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 (edited) sad that I have a pic just like that, but mine is a entire strat (body and neck) going across.. lol.. EDIT: all 3 pieces came from the same board, and were planed to 2". So Id asume you'd just be planing glue edges and getting to your final thickness. honestly that ALOT of walnut, you could build neck lams etc from that. with your shape though I dont forsee another body.

thegarehanman Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Matt, that seems like a really inefficient use of wood(on the body, I mean). You could cut one of the boards into 3 pieces and glue those pieces onto the center board for your spikey parts. You might have to angle the cuts to get it to work, but I'm pretty sure it could be done with relative ease. Just trying to save you some lumber; my US $.02 peace, russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

!!METAL MATT!!

Prostheta Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 +1 on the EMG45DC!! I've mounted mine inside a purpleheart pickup ring on the eight-string build I have on the go. Very long pickup too! I'm considering adding a second one, but I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
