Hey does anyone have a mustang Pickguard Template?

It's obviously too late for this, but I was going to suggest that, since the wood you were cutting from was so large, you should try and make a one piece guitar, but whatever. Also, Reverse Vs suck.

Is a TOM really considered a hardtail? I always considered a hardtail a strat non trem bridge.

Anyway,

It will be really hard building a neck around a body that already has a neck pocket routed. Why did you rout it already, when you dont even have the neck ready?

A hard tail is any bridge that is not a tremolo.

Samick.

Edit: peanut butter chocolate chip, please!

yeah that's it thanks

as the title suggests, I saw a guitar in a store and now I can't remember the brand name so that I can see what else they have. The logo on the headstock was a circle with an S inside it. Invisible cookies to the one who can help me.

erm - not really sure! why not

fair enough

To clarify, by one piece I meant the entire guitar be made out of one, unbroken piece of maple. No glue, no screws (except for the electronics and maybe the tuners and bridge) just one piece of maple

How does it compare to a floyd rose in terms of pitch bend-ability

Nice, can't wait to see it finished! And what's the "red button of death"like an Afterburner?

Actually, I think it's like what Buckethead uses: A killswitch activated by a button. That's how he plays Jordan

Should have a super bright tone I would have thought?

Although finding a peice big enough for an entire guitar is going to be pretty difficult.

Yeah, but it would be really cool

My friend told me that a guitar made out of one big piece of maple would actually have a warm tone. Has anyone done this? What does it sound like?

Paul gilbert is one of the most kickass shredders alive man. Look up Racer X

And I love the guitar, to me it looks different from a tele, but I actually like it more

Awesome man, you always make the sickest stuff

What BC Rich model is it? Warlock? Mockingbird?

I saw these on warmoth http://www.warmoth.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=27_131 and I'm curious to see if anyone has them and how do they sound?

actually, they sell megatars with regular, non-fanned frets. That's the kind the guy I saw was using

So I was on the boardwalk with my family in Ocean City today, when I saw everybody gathered around in a group. It sounded like a band was playing, but as I got closer I realized that it wasn't a band, it was one guy using one of these:

It was amazing and it sounded awesome. Now, i want one. Has anybody else seen these and what do you know about them?

I like the design but uh...

oh, uh, just saw the post above me...nevermind

There's an issue with your e-mail and i can't send you a message, how much is the lopro?

would the macassar ebony be enough for a fretboard? I'm a lazy newb

You might want to buy a pre slotted and radiused fretboard. I just ordered two from Erik, and I have a fret saw and stewmacs fret ruler thing. I just figure I'm more likely to mess that part up than anything else on the guitar.

Thanks, I am planning on getting a pre-slotted fretboard. As for the allergy thing, does it affect you after the guitar is built or only in the process? In other words, if you're allergic to Chocobolo or Purple heart and you're playing a finished guitar with one of those woods will you start becoming agitated? Also, who's Erik?

thanks for all the advice guys, does anyone know about Macassar Ebony? How hard is that to work with? http://www.lmii.com/CartTwo/thirdproducts....ony+Fingerboard

I think that if you want to build your own guitar, you should go for it!

Do some good research, and just dive into it, and you will learn a lot, make some mistakes that you will learn from, and in the end, you will have a guitar that you can be really proud of. Then after a while you will build another one..

Just keep in mind that your first guitar will most likely not be perfect. I have only built one so far, but it is quite playable, and it sounds fairly good.

Just have a lot of patience, and be accurate!

I say go for it, you will have tons of fun!

Thanks man, I will

Most stoner rock is usually tuned down so scale length should be more of a concern for you. I'd suggest at least a 25.5" scale. Also, pickups will pay a big part in the overall tone you get when it's done. It all depends on if you are looking for "sludge" for tone or if you want a crisp tone with definition

Thanks, that's good to know, I've been wondering about scale length

Well, no, I am kind of a novice, but I'm probably going to be working with my dad's friend who's a carpenter who has built guitars before, so I'll have help. I'll have to look into the cocobolo though, obviously if I'm allergic I can't use it. I'm planning on making a bolt on neck with a body similar to an Ibanez double cut away artist. Thanks for the advice, I probably will end up going a much simpler route, this is just my ideal set up.
