  1. i need some input on design capabilities-it's for my wife----she likes leopard print, so i want snakewood as the fretboard possibly with a slightly darker tone. but thats when i get stuck what should the body be made up of? mahogany back of coarse but what kind of top and what kind of stain? to burst or not to burst? trem or non trem--or tune-o-matic? gold, chrome, or black hardware? please everyone ask your girlfriends,fiances, and wive for ideas, unless you have some of your own.....please post pics too p.s. i can't tell her about this build-it will be very discrete-built at a friends.
  2. what about a dealer for snakewood? preferable in canada.....and don't worry this is my last post in this thread that has nothing to do with the saddles-thanks everyone for not yellin
  3. what kind of wood did he use on the snake guitar? i found that one in special----under....uh snake....
  4. i would go with the good ol'hand planer-then back to the paper
  5. first of all ! YES! It should not be allowed to show the destruction of guitars! this forum is for educational purposes. everyone in this community share a common passion. and don't be a smart ass with the ban jimmi crap! that was showmenship-and pete townsend actually reuses his parts-not to mention that david gilmour has even used some of those parts pete smashed to bits, to create one of the most famous guitars out there. Education should be shown, not destruction. when the router goes inside the line-SHOW IT-this shows the importance of precission (not sure of the spelling). this guy was just looking for attention, and we're feeding his fire of destruction. he is trying to get his name out there with a gimik. well, i hope the end justifies the means.
  6. very true, i'm actually getting my fiance addicted too!
  7. LOL! Let me guess: No girlfriend, right? WRONG! i have a girlfriend too, so thats even less time on top of all that haha but i'm sure she understands your addiction......
  8. good find man im going to start to make my own pickups soon, do you have any advice? ive been looking at the winder from stewmac, but i think i could find better magnet than what they offer...any ideas on this and anything else would be greatly appreciated
  9. http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Electronics,_p...ckup_Parts.html the polepieces are just a form of metal-nonmagnetized..check out the other parts too.
  10. im begining to make my own pickups, and i want to check out some magnets-----buy in bulk-------anybody know anything about them? --has anybody made their own pickups before, if so then post your experiences
  11. wow, ive never seen a jigsaw used in a build yet--btw:im a second project builder, that was taught differently. this was sooooooooo helpful-i now just need a drill press-relitively speaking. im so glad i saw your thread.
  12. i don't know how to post the direct thread, but....... Project Guitar Forum > Forum Tutorials & Reference > Inlays and Finishing Tutorials & Reference the threadis at the bottom just change the colours
  13. i have found that plastic pup covers change the sound. some guitarists say that normal "metal" covers don't change your sound, and some say they do. they aren't expensive to buy, so get em and try.... sound advice cause it rhymned
