  1. Right now I have 12's on my acoustic. I plan to try 13-56 strings the next time I change my strings. What is the best way to widen my nut slots (without taking the guitar to a tech) while keeping a smooth arch?
  2. I've been extremly happy with my warmoth replacment neck. I haven't tried the others.
  3. I will be building an Sg. I need to know how thick Gibson Sg's are. Thanks
  4. All personal opinion without knowing a thing of what you're talking about. You cannot judge that of which you do not play, simple as that. Yea, and I forgot to mention that the realm of 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 string basses is that of musical genres such as jazz, funk, etc. You RARELY see anything above a 5-string in rock and metal bands. True, right now I know nothing about bass so I'll take that comment back. Also at first I think a four string would be easier for me to learn that say an 8 string.
  5. I don't play bass, but someday hope to. I rather have a 4 string bass than a 5 string+ because I would be playing classic rock/blues/jazz and I simply don't need the 5th string. I also think a 4 string bass looks much better than a 5 string. I think the 5,6,7,8 string basses look too busy and the extra strings are overkill. The only bands using them are hard rock and metal bands, and the odd jazz band.
  6. It would be best for you to take the guitar (and your son so he can learn) to a guitar shop and ask if you can watch a guitar tech re-string your guitar. Have the tech explain what he is doing. Once you get the hang of it, it's no big deal.
  7. I was thinking of using inserts in the guitar I am building. I thought about it and I figured I'm making this guitar for maxium vibration transfer. Why add another step to transfer vibration (insert to screw) when there is play in all screws. I also never really remove my neck, at least not enough to wear out the threads. I would only really use inserts if I was flying with the guitar constantly and needed to take the neck off. It makes sence if your doing that.
  8. I much perfer the smooth sound of rosewood. Ebony has too sharp of an attack.
  9. If Bob Taylor is really using pallet wood for this model, I wonder what he is selling this model guitar for. He must be making a fortune on this model by not having to spend money on AAAAA quality wood.
  10. I play with a dead straight truss and raise the action. No buzzes and I like how it works my fingers. Raising the bridge also makes the guitar sound better.
  11. Problem is that I don't have the tools. This is also my first build and would really like to get some nice wood covers.
  12. I am building an lp from warmoth and would like to know if someone has a source for wood (probably flame maple) control cavity and switch cavity covers? I hate the look of plastic and would love some wood covers.
  13. I am making a copy of a 54' oxblood and am using the pigtail 50's tailpiece replica. http://www.pigtailmusic.com/Products.php#50sTailPiece Should I angle the bridge as I would for a t.o.m. using the measurments on the stewmac fret calculator or is there a better way?
  14. 1-B 2-B 3-F 4-B 5. I would like guitar makers to stop cutting corners. I think guitar companys need much better quality control (no names mentioned). Also when buying a guitar, I want to pay for the guitar and not the name on the headstock.
