The Nordic Gawd Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 yeah i got some new wood worked a little on that wretched monkey grip. it looks sort of decent now. but goddamn it i made the grip too big. sooooo i'm going to have to sand it in such a way that makes it look a little smaller and I'm going to do some binding on the inside to make it look smaller. BUT i got new beautiful wood on the upside and the carve is coming along FABIO! http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/481911 check it ooot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 hmm. the walnut looks good, but is it too thick? Also, thank you for listening to all the advice given. So far, i think it'll be awesome. Here's an idea I came up with for your deep set. Take a carvin or stewmac threu blank and cut it so is has a 6" to 8" toungue. Plane the back of it so you have about an inch left. Then, you have a 24 fret 25" scale deep set neck. Just an idea to help save time. Not to mention ease the process of a first guitar.

canuckguitarist Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 snork, I remember you said you were going to heat up the acrylic with a heat gun to make it conform to all the curves of the carved top... how are you going to cut the shape of the pickguard, making sure it fits the way you want it to? If you put it on before cutting it, how are you going to bevel it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snork Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 i am going to. you just cut it to size. and it stretches a little bit to conform. It works i just tried it on the top. ill post a pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
