  1. I love it, its great, so versatile. My only bad point is that its switchable. SO if anybody knows where i could get it made er non switchable...damn can't think of the word now. Then let me know. It really is a fantastic pedal. I love it.
  2. they look much more impressive then they actually are lol. From Left to right... Old old nylon string, not really operational Westfield electro acoustic (on top of amp) Cheap £3 three quarter size. The strings are all rusty and it has a suprisingly good sound. The rust on the strings make it sound like an old robert johnson recording. Used for slide Black Les Paul style, bought for £100 unknown make. This guitar is the lord of crap guitars. Its now been dissassembled and used for parts (Has schaller machine heads and a dimarzio in) White one behind - £8 guitar intended to be shmashed up at a gig, although has escaped the chop yet Ibanez S1540fm prestige - My main baby. The blonde gibson isn't a gibson, unsure of the make, truly amazing tone and feel, reall not sure about that one. No music shop are anywhere can tell the origin or age or anything. Its a 1 piece body with a 2 piece top, 2 piece maple neck. Kick ass unkown guitar. Many offers have been made, but i'd never sell. Blue tele thing - my first guitar i made, made when i was a young lad at the age of 14 in school. I did my work experience with a local luthier. (the teachers had to take pictures of it during manufacture so people would believe i made it. Plays great, essentially the same electronics as a JS1000 minus the push pull pot. Used for slide. As well as that., i've got an ibanez RG570 i scored for £100, and a part built guitar waiting for a refinish and a sustainer to be installed (pics and step by steps will be shown, as i don't think there has been one done about a sustainer kit installation. I could make a lesson of it. Anyway thats my guitars. I love my wierd and wonderful crazy guitars. The stranger the better. On a side note, if anybody wants to buy a jcm2000 half stack for cheap, let me know. I have my eyes on some nice boutique amps.
  3. ohohohohohohh wowowowowowowowow Thats EXACTLY EXACTLY the thing i'm looking for. I mean exactly. I wanted something that was basically the same as my green ibanez but s/s/s thats my green ibanez in the middle. WOWOW have you got any more details about that guitar???? If God was a guitar he'd look like that!!!!!!
  4. I'm after a rear routed s/s/s guitar, and as they are very limited, i thought i'd build one, so are warmoth bodies and necks any good? I was thinking of something like this Soloist carved top bound body, s/s/s. but maybe in a nice bluey green burst colour with gold hardware with white binding. So back to the question, as i'm in the UK, will it be worth shipping it over (probably cost about £375 to £400 ish. ) and are they good quality?
  5. The difference, if there is one, will be extremely small. I doubt you'd be able to tell the difference.
  6. wouldn't the holes make the headstock too weak??
  7. go to yell.co.uk and browse their directory, in the paint section they have a list of paint suppliers in your area. I was having a look today, (found a man who can get a chrome finish on my guitar , £110 though )
  8. it looks nice. I imagine it'd be a lot more sturdy then standard bridges. However i still prefer the look of a standard fender stye bridge.
  9. i used some stick on inlays on my scalloped neck. I found some sticky plastic stuff, and then just used a hole punch to cut them out. They are from some shiny silver stuff, so from far away they look like abalone. Its a quick fix for your guitars.
  10. to be honest i don't think it's really that different. The only time it feels a little strange is when you go back to a normal guitar. You do seem to have a lighter touch for some reason. I think i prefer it, but only slightly.
  11. Anybody know where i can get some? Or what i could use? I can't buy a ready madde one as it'll be an original shape, cos i'm having a sustainer kit. cheers tom
  12. yeh, i understood what to do, i just wanted to double check.
  13. ok cool. thanks a lot, i'll be sure to return with a sexy completed guitar!!!!!!! unless i make a balls up of it again lol
  14. so if i did that would the neck joint be any weaker then a standard bolt on neck joint? or just as strong?
  15. hehe thats blatant taking advantages of a noobs good nature..but ok. Hopefully i'll be staining the guitar a deep red colour and have a mirror scratch plate. Then once the fernandes sustainer kit is in it'll be groovy!! I'm still a little worried about the neck though. When filling the holes of the neck joint with dowel, obviously i'll try to make it as tight a fit as possible. Should i use any glue? Also will it be a particularly weak spot on the guitar? Will the guitar be able to hold up with the filled and redrilled holes??
  16. hmmm i might have to file down a couple of frets. only a tiny bit though. I'll be putting in a fernandes sustainer kit as well, so should be a cool guitar. Anybody know where i can get mirrored scratch plate material? by the way what do you think to those dots? hehe just some lil stickers, look quite like abalone. I know i know i cheated. But its scalloped so they won't wear off hehe.
  17. I decided to do a project guitar and build one. So i got a body and a neck. When i attatched the neck the holes didn't line up so i drilled some new ones (the new ones were far away enough from the original holes so it was ok) but it's slightly off, and the strings are shifted to one side. Would i be able to fill the holes in the neck and then re-drill them? or has the neck had it?? The neck looks it a bad way, and there are a couple of high frets which buzz quite a bit. It was bought mainly because i wanted to know how a scalloped fretboard felt like. The neck has a locking nut. The body is fine, but i'm considering just getting another better neck.
