    Hello I have very much enjoyed seeing and playing guitars with covers over the humbuckers, will anything work for the covers? On my replica guitar, I was planning on using some brass look alike metal for the pickgaurd that was clear coated 5 times for scratch resitance, and i was thinking i would mock up some of these covers to, but if you need special ones, then i wont bother Curtis

    I liked the design of the flames, and the head stock, the way the machine heads were set up, besides that, not too much on this end either

    also, the input jack, they go on the side of the guitar like the Les Pauls (I believe) and i was planning on routing the jack in at the end of the pickgaurd, on the side though, not like a Strat, it may be a little difficult to understand, but best i could do at the moment for making people understand. BTW, I think I might have found a 22 fret neck, i really want a 24, but a 22 bolt on will work for now i suppose Curtis

    I started building a Jackson RR5 replica couple days ago, the tools i need are at my neighbours shop or my school, so, i am building it at school for marks, and a custom case at school as well Curtis
  11. Curtis P
    so, its pretty much just your aluminum box, then the board, and all that? dont sound too hard, my school does that kinda stuff, get me a good deal, Tube Screamer here i come!! :D Curtis
  12. Curtis P
    thanks, but I already have the body built, I used Black Cherry, my neighbour has a woodworking shop out of his home and let me build it up, and he only charged me 10 bucks for the wood and shop fee Curtis

    ok, thanks man, but do you know anything about that annoying plastic cover i been talkin bout? Curtis
  14. Curtis P
    maybe this should be under elctrocnics, but i am not sure? anyways, forget about the neck for a couple minutes, when i go to instal the pickups (thanks to Westheman for the schematics i needed ) on the back, i have noticed some guitars have that plastic cover screwed on, is that totally nesacary (sp?) ?? i started marking out where the pickguard will go, and the pick ups roughley, and if i route the pick gaurd out a little so i can se in the pots and run the wires, then run the wires to the input jack, i will be set, but, just that plasric cover was bothering me, i dont really want one on it, you can find them on the Les Pauls behind the Rhythm and Treble toggle switch (located on where the upper wing should be) its only going to have the 2 volume pots, one to each pickup so i can "blend" them together, but its that damn plastic cover on the back!! Curtis
  15. Curtis P
    how did you set it down? if you didnt set it on its side so the air can get at it on BOTH sides, that could be a mjor factor as well, just my .02 Curtis
  16. Curtis P
    The Tube Screamers are so rare now, when i get the guitar built, i might tackle that, friend of mine has one, he keeps it in a glass case now, I only got to play it once, before he knew it was rare, damn him for finding out!! those bad boys were awesome!!! Curtis

    Hello Friend of mine is lookin for a wah pedal, he doesnt know what is good, and since I dont have a wah either, i decided that should post here and maybe get some decent results Curtis
  18. Curtis P
    thanks alot man! guess i didnt look as hard as i thought i did Curtis
  19. Curtis P
    i was just there, nothing really what i was looking for, would a volume knob act like a tone knob? schematic wise? like the wiring be the same? probaly not right? Curtis
  20. Curtis P
    think you have to steam the wood and bend it with a jig cut out, i heard it was really hard Curtis
  21. Curtis P
    OK, thanks alot I will take a few more looks at some necks for sale, the pickups, i am getting cheap from a buddy, the machine heads, bout 20 bucks, and the bridge, i have no clue, yea, frets will probaly be better, haha dumb question i asked Curtis
  22. Curtis P
    skibum5545 yea, i just read your first post, good luck man, hope it turns out good for you, remeber to post a picture or two when its done, here is what mine will look like Curtis
  23. Curtis P
    well, i own a Washburn, I dont like it too much, but its still a good guitar, but, Jackson/Charvel gets my vote, even though it aint on here Curtis
  24. Curtis P
    Thanks man, i got the pattern all traced onto the wood, and a buddy of mine is hookin me up with some Humbuckers, is wiring difficult? i aint runnin the toggle switch, pickup selector thing, so its just the single volume, connected to both humbuckers, i suppose, or 2 voloumes, one for each, yea, thats better! haha Curtis
  25. Curtis P
    nyjbkim: yes, thats where i got my info on building a neck, but i did not understand it, thats why i am asking, i will check out the tutorial Thanks Curtis P.S. Fretting wire, how much does that stuff cost? or is fretless a good way to go? Curtis
