Guest AlexVDL Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Iwouldn't say I cant learn it, but I likely wont ever be a pro builder. Cool. I just wanna play, and that is just what I do. Why not? If you keep on working on guitars and have patience you could be a pro too. But all you need is to think and measure twice before you go build, saw or glue anything. Good preparation and planning will give you that pro result. Forinstance, using templates while routing a pickup cavity or the outline of a body will result in a pro and clean cut. Just learn from the tutorials and pics others have provide us here. Look at hyunsu, he makes his own templates, and all his guitars have clean routes, and look very good. I don't think a router will cost that much, but when used properly it will give your guitar that pro look we're all after. So first you need to prepare your woods... make sure all the surfaces are planed and all sides are square. After that, measure everything twice before you go cut anything. Draw the correct lines, measure it again and go cut or saw your woods. All glue joints must have perfectly flat surfaces, so use a planer. When you're builing a neck thru, always place the bridge and pickup routes after the neck is done. For proper spacing you can find drawings at warmoth, or plans at guitarbuild.com etc. Just use your head and think twice before you go build your guitar, that's my only advise. We live in a modern world with powertools, so we all don't have to be skilled luthiers with chisels etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitarfrenzy Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Haven't been on PG much lately because of working 12 to 16 hour days, but it's great to see that Rhoads finally got VIP.. very deserving and long overdue in my opinion.. As far as a Carrotburst, I mean who really wanted one anyway.. lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 I'll tell you what. If you were here exactly a year ago at this very time, a Carriburst was hotter than a two dollar pistol 'round these parts. How times change..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannoG Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Well, I'm almost done with the pre-finishing work on the neck and body, so if I can get the dye job done soon, it will have time for finish coats, cure and be buffed out/assembled. But I'm going to be gone the last week of December, so it's not a sure thing getting it for January first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darren wilson Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 I suspect that if the caribburst project had been maybe three months instead of a full year, people might have got them done. The whole idea just sort of lost momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 -Completely- agree. Plus, to be honest, it's a bit of an oddity finish anyway, I knew it wasn't for mass appeal, and heck, even I lost interest in it, hehehe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
