You might be waiting a long time for the completed pics but here's a few more, most of the sanding is finished now
-
I use Schaller strap locks and cheap straps
-
Thanks I've been listening to Maiden since I was 8 years old, Adrian Smith was a huge influence on my playing so it's nice to be compared to him.
-
I was only born in '82 I found a free program the other day called Advanced MP3 WMA Recorder, which seems to work very well but I need to buy a phono to 3.5mm lead to get it recording in stereo.
-
Yeah the program I used to record it to PC was only a free trial, so I could only record 40 seconds.
-
Here's something I recorded on my digital 8 track a few weeks ago, the backing is from an old Guitar mag CD, the lead guitar is me It's not perfect, there are a few dodgy bits but it was all improvised I had nothing worked out.... http://www.fullservesite.com/blacklabel/solo.mp3 Let me know what you think
-
If you want some pics hosting, e-mail to me and I'll post them up jonsimnett@aol.com
-
Yep that works now, thanks for your help
-
Hmmm I've created an acount and uploaded an mp3 but for some reason when I try to play it, it says...'page cannot be found'..... I uploaded a pic as well and that did the same thing ? It's proberbly me being dumb but I can't get it to work
-
I've got some recordings on my 8 track I want to upload onto the net, but I can't find anywhere decent to upload them for free I've used Geocities but it was hopeless, can anyone suggest another website I could use?
-
I saw these bodies on ebay yesterday, I e-mailed the seller for prices of body blanks he seems cheap....... £15.00 piranha mahogany & piranha £20.00 one peice ash at £30.00 £8.90 for p+p I've brought a Piranha blank for my first build
-
Here's the plate, t still needs polishing properly but it's a nice snug fit
-
I'm just using an off-cut of 3 or 4mm flat alloy, I've used diamond plate before but seeing as the cover is on the back of the guitar the pattern will stick out further than the body itself. I might get it anodised gold to match the rest of the hardware.
-
Sorry but I don't have a scanner I've done loads more sanding today, I'm going to make a new rear control cover out of a sheet of alloy tomorrow to replace the shitty plastic one it came with. I'll post some more pic's in the 'In Progress..' forum very soon
-
A cross between a Strat and a Jem/RG, my first proper project from scratch (apart from the neck) and my Black Walnut Rhoads project
-
I kinda liked the idea of oil because it seems like an easier option to do myself, am I right in thinking you can use wax after it's been oiled?
-
don't worry I think I'm going with the natural look, what method would you guy's recomend? I haven't got a clue on how to do it, but I'm sure I'll have fun trying
-
Still loads of sanding to do in the bridge cavity and there's some white primer in the grain, but at least the worse bit is done...
-
I've stripped most of the paint off this afternoon, took quite a while. I used some paint stripper and a stanley blade and gave it a very quick sand with an electric sander. I still need to strip the bridge and pickup cacities a lot more. More pic's coming shorty
-
Here's a better shot of the back...
-
I brought this off ebay a few weeks back and today it finally came It's not a Jackson but the seller said it was an exact custom copy, if this was made by a pro luthier, by another manufacturer or if it was made in someone's shed I don't really care, it's well built I was told it was Black Walnut?, I have no knowledge of wood so if someone could corfirm this for me please? I'll post some better pic's when I've stripped the shitty black paint off
-
thanks for the info, that sounds really good as my woodworking knowledge is shocking I think I'll need loads of pratice before letting rip on a nice piece of wood
-
Doh! I meant to say I've ordered a catalougue from www.craft-supplies.co.uk not Luthiers Supplies. £30 sounds pretty good to me
-
Before I joined this forum I never thought I get excited over a piece of wood but that is beautiful
-
Thanks, I've ordered a catalogue from Luthiers Supplies
