Hi!

What bridge would you recommend for a string-through-body?

-Daniel

I would definately try the pine body. If it turns out you don't like it then build the next guitar. A guy just ordered a 6-string custom bass from me and he handed me this 8/4 piece of Teke(which is commonly used in fine funiture). It's very oily and extremely heavy. It's definately not a typical instrument building wood, but that's what he wants. I know that it's going to be a great playing and high quality instrument and he's going to love it. Point being, you can build an electric guitar out of almost anything and make it work. And if it doesn't work than you can learn from your mistake and move on. Even the acoustic building world has expanded to using different woods that would never have been used years ago.

Ok, what you're saying is true, I learn from my mistakes=) And If i build my first guitar in pine the mistakes won't cost me very much.

What's the good and bad sides of using pine?

Ok, thanks again

You can check the librarys of the MIMF

http://64.4.30.250/cgi-bin/linkrd?_lang=EN...0%2eee82742%2f0

its got a lot of good info on chambering guitars.

The link doesn't work

Thanks alot, I'll check that out.

That sounds like a good idea!

Where can i find tutorials that shows how to hollow out a guitar?

-Daniel

Thank you all for the answers, and i think that I'll wait 'til i start working before i start building a guitar, so that i can buy more expencive wood.

-Daniel

Ok, thanks for the reply.

I'll see If I can find some prices of alder.

btw. Does Alder work for building a neck too?

Hello everyone!

I was thinking of building a guitar out of pine (because I'm a student with almost no money, and im a newbie concerning guitarbuilding).

So my question is:

Is It possible to make it sound good, allthough it's pine?

Thanks.

Looking good!

5 years, 1.5 years of shred.

Hello!

Are these pickups good?

What kind of picks do you use?

I use Jim Dunlop Stubby 2.0mm.

I've been dying to get one for ages. For ?166, you really can't go wrong I think. I got the Harley Benton 80R amp over christmas and it's bloody nice. Better than the Marshall and Fenders amps we have in the house imo.

And I've been thinking of getting it, stripping all the hard ware, cutting the body in half and turning it into a neck through, upgrading the hardware over years as money permits.

Is it hard to turn a bolt on to a neck through(spelling someone?)

That looks cool

Yep second hand. I'll press the price as low as I can.

Yeah I will..

I'm buying the guitar from a private person.

I also want a 7 str and The harley benton wasn't very expensive=)

So I'll see If I buy one

I'm thinking of buying a Harley Benton 7 string guitar. At first I wanted a Ibanez Universe but that was too expensive.

Is Harley Benton a good guitar?

Okey.. I'll do that.. thanks!

Haha okey

I just have on more question: Is it harder to play with a scalloped neck. i mean like if you have to press the strings harder and so on?

Thanks to you too!

Okey..

Thanks alot

Hey all!

What Is scalloping good for?
