Now that is METAL! Did you take any progress pics at all?

Here's one I found today.... [url="http://alembic.com/family/factory_tour.html"]http://alembic.com/family/factory_tour.html[/url]

My tool collection is growing slowly at the moment I've got....

Bosch 1/4" Router

Rexon 4" Belt/Disc Sander

Ferm 1/3 Sheet Sander

Ferm Detail Sander

Ferm Power Planer

Ferm Pillar Drill

2 Carrol Drum Sanders

Small Drum Sander Kit

Dewalt Brad Point Drill Bits

Ryobi 750w Drill

Wolfcraft Portable Drill Stand

Kinzo 800w Jigsaw with laser guide

Set of no-name long drill bits

Set of 5 Forstner Bits

Record Dust Extractor

I think that's about it, a bandsaw and a 1/2 router is the next thing on the shopping list

There's a couple of good tutorials on stripping paint on the main site.

Awesome work as always Hyunsu

I've just used a power planer to plane a body blank for the first time today and it worked really well.

BLS, Slayer and Sabbath...it doesn't get much better than that I just wish they could of brought the tour over to the UK

Question:

Why arst thou putting thy standard bridge in this guitar?

I wanted it to be different to an Ibanez, I didn't see the point of building an exact copy...not to mention it's easier for me as it's my first build...lol

Thanks american_jesus and Hyunsu

Hey guys I just came acoss this page on floydrose.com it's full of routing templates for Floyd's in pdf format....

Further investigation showed that this guitar was only 8 years old!

8 years! jeez that guitar has had a hard life.

I think I'm right in saying that the Dinky also has a smaller body, hence the name.

The finished bass....

Matt Freeman from Rancid

In the last few years I've brought and sold a few amps... a Line 6 Flextone, a Marshall MG100 DFX, a Marshall JCM 900 50w combo, but I was never totally happy with any of them Until I swapped my JCM for a 2nd hand Peavey Transfex Pro 212s, and I can honestly say it's the best amp I've ever used, it's just incredible

I haven't touched the Walnut body blank since I took that last pic, this project was put on hold so I could concentrate on the RG. Then last week I spotted a battered Squire body going cheap on ebay, as I'm still desparate for some bass on some recordings I've been working on I decided to buy it so I can get a working bass built up quickly.

So here's the body....

It arrived this morning and when I got back from work this evening I fitted all the parts off the other bass. I had to drill new holes for the bridge as the Squire one is different, a new jack socket, some re-wiring, a bit of polish and a new set of strings and it was finished

The body has quite a few dings and dents but as I wanted it for a cheap workhorse it doesn't bother me, and the main thing is it plays and sounds really good. I'll post some pics of the finished bass tomorrow ....only 1 problem... what should I build out of the Walnut body blank?

Currently I've got....

1 electric, an electro acoustic and a classical all complete and working. I'm refinishing a Jackson Rhoads, building a RG style body and a superstrat body and I'm also building a P-bass copy from parts.

I've always prefered humbuckers, and after playing a friend's Jackson Rhoads with EMG 81/85's I know what my next pay cheque is going on

In no order....

Slash

Zakk Wylde

Dimebag

Steve Wray (www.planetblaze.com)

John Slater (")

Dave Mustaine

Brian May

Lakis Kyriacou (www.area54.co.uk)

Adrian Smith

Richie Blackmore

If this works....then it might just be a problem with your browser

*the BB wont let me post pics saying dynamic pages aent allowed in image tags so the links should work until I can find somewhere else to host them, any ideas?*

I find www.smartgroups.com the best

MAIDEN! altough I respect Priest, I've never really got into there music.

Both of the Jacksons in this video are really nice, especially the white one. I think its a performer.

The Tower

Performers are the cheap Jap models that poor people like me buy Adrian Smith is playing a USA King V in that video, I saw him and Bruce on the 'Chemical Wedding' tour, it was one of the best nights of my life, they were amazing.

Jackson Rhoads or a Les Paul

Rock n Roll all the way! .........well Heavy Metal

It looks evil looking to me, how about 'Lucifer' or something like that?
