Hi,

I just had made a donation and wonders about how I'll get the "I Donated" to my user account.

Any help?

Regards.

Well I finished it some time ago but haven't remembered to post the event here so here it is:

If you will go with a paf pro in the neck I sugest to try a norton in the birdge. It's a lot like fred but with more bass.

Hi.

Does someone has around or knows an URL where I can find an active pickup pream project?

thanks

here I cant find titebond (original or II), or liquid hide glue. So for me the only option is ground hide glue .

JEMIFY IT!!!!!

How to clean wood prior to painting :

1- Thinner ( Lacquer thinner or Naptha)

2-Alcohol

3-Mineral Spirits

4- Amonia mixed with water

Use 'em in that order. Each removes something the previous substance doesn't always remove.

I learned this from Dan Erlewine years ago and I keep it posted on my shop wall the same as he did/does.

If anyone knows of a better procedure, I'm all ears, although I think no finish, or a light oil finish beats the hell out of paint any day. No finish on a neck can cause problems, but I think it's ok on a body (yeah, it'll get dirty, but no one ever said Rock 'n' roll is supposed to be squeaky clean)

Your fingers leave oil behind when you touch something, so watch out for that too.

what is mineral spirits, I mean I live in a spanish talking country and don't know the equivalent in my local market.

thnx

john: go for it!!, I dont know if that will work or not, but you are walking in to the unknown (al least form me), and thats is cool. That is the way new things get done (discovered, invented, etc).

how do I block sand a carved top gtr?

the only wood sealers you could find in my country are nitro ones. Is this ok, or this push me to use only nitro to finish my guitars?

Hi

Where can I buy EMG Active bass pickups online?

Thanks

I use both tone and volume a lot (but I hate GTR with more than one of each). Is a matter of personal style.

I agree with guitar_ed, the freatboard is better in a very hard wood

use ground hide glue, it is better than tite bond IMHO

Is this mod helpful with humbuckers as well?

Yes it is

How deep is the sustain block on the FR Pro you bought? It might be a bit easier than buying an Edge...

38 mm

try partssmart.com. I got my Floyd Rose Pro there for 156$, and you can get the "clasic" one at 135$

Where can I find a bass setup tutorial online?

Thanks

shimmed on the side of the neck ? oh, thats very nasty to me, I agree 100% with you then.

all old fender guitars had their necks shimmed that way form factory(with sand paper), and people pay big bucks for those guitars...

Just great!!!!

Hi

I was bored waiting for the parts to complete the neck of my fist project (custom Jem/ProAxe) when a friend gives me an old Ibanez Roadstar II neck. Because this neck will not match that project (having regular joint, 22 frets, and no way to put a locking nut cos the truss rod nut get in the way). I started my second project to make a body for this neck.

And this is what a got so far:

bowser back to your question I sugest you buyng a RG5xx new from music123 or used from evilbuy and make it a custom jem, in the end you will have a bettrer guitar and will cost you only 100$ more

Ibanez RG570:

A: 96

B: 84

C: 74

D: 75

E: 37

F: 40

after my second or third project, I think I will be doing RG/JEM bodies too, of course made of caribean woods (mahogany, purpleheart, cocobolo, algarrobo, etc)
