    I didnt even know you could place them in places like that. I thought they had to be on the bridge.

    What would be the purpose of 2 piezos?

    Does magnetic not = conductive, which is the same thing as that stew mac paint? heard people saying it the same way for years.
  5. killemall8
    If you are in the USA, they have that magnetic paint at home depot for only 20 bucks.

    Sprayed the first few coats of 2K to seal the body. Will level then spray final coats in a few days. Also started another neck for my next build. Maple, walnut and paduak. I must say, as much as i love this combo of neck, i am kinda getting tired of it. Might be time to get a couple new neck woods.

    That sapele body looks amazing. Who do you send to for finishing?
  8. killemall8
    Love your ability to carve anything! How do you calculate how far your radius will be, to do side dots before, and they still end up in the center?

    Body binding seems like there is too much to go wrong. Have to have it bent to the exact shape, have to worry about gaps and equal pressure. every time i try something new i end up having to do it 5-10 times to get it right. Haha Scott, you give me too much credit. Anybody can do what i do if they also spent every single day for 9 years working on guitars. And as soon as i go out of my element something goes wrong. I had to scrap an entire build 2 months ago because i tried a different bridge and it went completely wrong.

    Yeah, i figured that was a part of it. I think i am going to stick to 25.5" for all shapes now. They just feel and play so much better.

    Thanks man. I never really liked making strats or basic shaped guitars. But hey, it is what the people want. Also strung this one up for test run... Not a single buzz before fret leveling. Awesome! It is kinda strange. Every 25.5" scale guitar i have made comes out great, but the 25.0" scales dont end up playing nearly as nice off the initial fretting? Has to be purely coincidental, but dang, that is like 5 guitars that have yet to disprove it.

    As far as i know, flat and satin finishes arnt supposed to be buffed. Any flat or satin finish can turn to gloss when buffed. Just like how satin black guitars end up having a really shiny spot on the arm rest.

    Here is where i am at now. I am going to go with a different style of finish on this one. I am going to use 2k clear on the top and headstock, and oil the back, sides and neck.

    I have done a lot of neck binding in my past few builds. Body binding is far out of my league. I think bodies look cleaner without it. I will probably do some more multi ply binding on my next few necks.
  15. killemall8
    I have gotten really bad at taking pics of my work process. But i knocked most of this one out. The neck is being glued in right now. Same neck specs as the explorer. I am a bit worried about balance on this one. Being really thin, and insanely light weight. Fortunately the neck is very light too. I will have to see how it comes out.
  16. killemall8
    I hope you are prepared for the massive neck dive that thing is about to produce. Off balance body plus baritone ebony neck. eek

    Havnt done much lately. Started a new SS build. Been going really slow. Got most of the neck done today. It will be going on the quilted sapele one below.

    What happened with the tenon on the spalty?
  21. killemall8
    I actually prefer the GFS locking over hipshot griplocks. They are tighter tolerance. The hipshot griplocks feel loose and the pin doesnt go up and down evenly as you loosen it. Even the 100$ schaller locking are literally the identical thing to the GFS locking.
  22. killemall8
    I still cant think of one to use. I guess technically it would have to be my business name, but that would be lame.
