    purpleheart is wicked dense. what kind of tools are you using? its been known to set table saws ablaze. cocobolo would look real nice, but look out for the dust as it acts like posion ivy, and if you inhale it its no fun at all. probably just a rosewood though. good luck!

    question on stewmac's bushings: how far are you suposed to hammer the bushing part down into the wood? all the way till its flush?
  4. urbansmurf
    its a little bit darker in real life than these pics, oh well ill update pics when i get my fretboard on (yes, cocobolo, but i have a resperator)
  5. urbansmurf
    i just kinda skimmed through this, so i dont know if someones already mentioned it, but cocobolo is very dangerous- the dust is like poison ivy, and if you inhale it, its bye bye luthier not to mention that its pretty heavy too, but it is very beautiful i made my first neck out of honduran mahogony, i love the color and feel of it, its also very light let me look for some pics...

    hey now, lets not turn this into a fight thanks for the info on the depth, but why do you make yours 1/16" deeper?
  8. urbansmurf
    the depth wouldnt vary due to that, bridge height is adjusted with the posts thanks, though!

    one more thing - do i need the FR locking nut or will a regular nut work?
  11. urbansmurf
    thanks alot daveq i am working on my explorer, which had a standard strat style tremelo on it, i have filled the screw holes and am now working on getting the FR in. i have already bought the floyd bridge from a friend, and just need the posts, which i will get from stewmac. my friend gave me a body that used to have a FR2 in it, like mine, so im gonna mimmick those routes onto my explorer.

    looks like a SG mixed with a Firebird very nice
  13. urbansmurf
    noone? i still cant find those routing diagrams...
  14. urbansmurf
    litch do you have those plans full sized? id like to get a big copy of them, could i pay you to get em copied at kinkos or something?
  15. urbansmurf
    ok thanks now one more question, anyone know where i can find routing diagrams for my FR2? cant seem to find anything that inculdes the depth and everything. thanks
  16. urbansmurf
    nevermind, found some on stewmac, but do i need the posts or the pivot screws or both? and do i have to use a FR locking nut?
  17. urbansmurf
    speaking of floyd roses... anyone know where i can get posts for my FR2 in black or chrome? ebay has none but gold. thakns
  18. urbansmurf
    just pick a position you like, maybe get some ideas off other bodies and drill away
  19. urbansmurf
    ok thanks
  20. urbansmurf
    what holds the floyd rose in place? seems like if there wasnt the perfect amount of string tension, the springs would rip it right off the posts, and visa versa to the strings. do the posts have more grip than meets the eye, or is is screwed down somewhere? thanks
  21. urbansmurf
    thanks

    anyone know how korina relates to swamp ash in terms of weight/tone?
  23. urbansmurf
    thanks how does korina compare to swamp ash in terms of weight?
  24. urbansmurf
    price isnt really an issue here, ive got a job and this project will be spread out over probably 2 summers how would swamp ash work in comparason to korina in terms of weight and tone?
  25. urbansmurf
    thanks alot so if i use chambered korina for the body, what should i use on the neck?
