You can combine active and passive pickups with a switch that emg offers but then can you mix that with the piezo by using the mixer/preamp Baggs offers which is for combining passive pickups and the piezo?

I really wonder what the sound is like when an active and a passive pickup is combined in the middle. I want something extreme; for example, emg 81 and Seymour Duncan Jazz.

Is coil splitting possible? I think you can't split active pickups?

Somewhere I've seen a pic of an esp with a full metal armor. It had some gems on it too. It was the most spectacular guitar I've ever seen.

I like the black one.

I've been playing the electric guitar for nearly one year now but there is not one song I can play from the beginning to the end

Where do you get the seven string bridge from?

I absolutely adore the designs. My favourite is the red one #009.

Thank you very much. I probably evaded a big mistake by asking this. I might now be switching to tremolo.

How? Or do you actually need it?

I'm using tuneomatic.

Well I'll be borrowing my friends camera soon hopefully.

The wood is chestnut. The tone is warm but there's something missing it seems to be the sustain. I heard that glued necks cause much less sustain.

I used 500K pots. I will redo the grounding.

I think that I built a guitar that not many people would build-at least the way I built it. Imagine a four cm thick chestnut. Then bandsaw it to a shape like the Jackson Kelly, but rounder and smaller and double cutaway. Next take a chisel and hollow the thing out leaving the top. Afterwards open a curved double lightsabre shaped soundhole withe the same chisel.

Cut a 5mm backplate from chestnut again. Break it. Then make ona again. Oversand the edges. Do it once again.

Then cut a neck from the same wood. Buy a preslotted fingerboard. Stick the neck so that the glue messes up the neck angle you tried so hard to give.

Install the hardware: tuneomatic bridge, ONE dimarzio FRED Humbucker, a mini switch, 500K voulme & tone and so on.

Result:

The action is nearly half a cm. The intonation is ok. The tone is aggressive and dirty. Not much highs. But what I like is that I dont have to plug it in, I can play it like an acoustic If I strum hard enough. It is extremely lightweight, perfect for performing if the tone was better. Too little sustain and the neck isnt very stable I can say. There is also a lot of hum???

What they say might as well be true but it seems to me that It will cause the strings to be worn out extremely fast.

Guess what? I'm fifteen too. At least I'm going to be next month

That guitar of yours looks great and I wish my uncle was a carpenter too because I have o lot of difficulties finding wood and bandsawing.

My first guitar was playable, if you can call a guitar with half of its frets working

Well I'm halfway through my second project, but it is not very easy to build a guitar here in Turkey.

Well, I'm learning English as a second language, and because I already know it pretty well, and since I'm in a preparation year when we do only English, I can draw in every lesson

note: Not in P.E..

The guitars that you have drawn are pretty good mind if I get a little bit of inspiration from those

Can anybody give me some tips on building a semi hollow? How thick should the top and back be? How thick and how wide the sides? How to bend the sides and which woods are the best for a semi hollow? Any other important things or suggestions?

I'll be grateful for any help...

Soundhole in the shape of a curved lightning?

You seem to be a good couple. I wish I had a cat to pose with my guitar

Awesome guitar. I think that gold hardware would look better on it. I have a tendency for gold actually.

Thinking of making a Godin type guitar from walnut. Presumably hollowbody. It is for my belowed guitar teacher.

By the way has anybody used walnut before?
