  1. Some of the guitars you have come out with are absolutly amazing. I hate mockingbirds, but yours i would seriously love to own. Your guitars are an inspiration, i want to jump in and start making now.
  2. I am planning and researching my first guitar. For the first one im going to buy parts from warmoth, customise finish etc, whatever i want to do. Can inlays be done with frets already installed. Also for inlay work, what tools are needed.
  3. They dont really have what im after.
  4. I intend to undertake my first guitar project by ordering parts off warmoth and modifying them to how i want them. Have a few questions - Are the warmoth parts of good quality? - The neck heel seems really fat to me is it bad and hinders playing? - The intended guitar will be a 7string, does the body need to be bigger or its just routing for the neck pocket and trem? - Finishing, what sort of tools are needed? Ta for any help.
  5. sorry, fkn wrong forum. delete this.
  6. Yer i just ( like 30 minutes ago ) got a nice ryobi plunge router, 80 bucks, havnt tested it yet. Fkn they didnt have 1/8' roundover bits it was all 1/4 and they were like 50 bucks each! I had no idea.
  7. Ta, what size should the standard bit be 1/4' ?
  8. 1. I am going to go buy a couple of mahogony pieces, i also need a router. I only want a simple get-the-job-done router nothing expensive or fancy but seeing as i am a bit of a hardware newbcake just wondering if there is a specific type of router that i should get. 2. Also what rout bits will i need to get, i also want a rounding bit for the edges of the guitar ( explorer ), is there a specific size that works best. 3. What wood and what thickness should i grab to construct a template for pickup and neck pocket cavities. Ta for the help.
  9. I found an application that converts a cad file into bmp. Sent it off to snap printing should be ready for me tomorrow then i can purchase my wood.
  10. There are no dimensions on it =\ . . . but i want to get this printed at a snap store ( they do business printing etc ) but they do not print *dwg cad files, i need a tool that can convert a dwg into a picture file, tga, jpg or even a pdf file, its A0 in size and i want to print it out in full.
  11. The CAD file i downloaded off one of the guitar building sites had a CAD drawing of the explorer but its only a general outline and does not have dimensions and measurements on it. Sorry to be a bitch but does anyone have specific measurements for an explorer body, or just how big would my block of wood need to be just for the body. Ta in advance.
  12. Anyone kind enough to have a template for this body style?
