Well he's making a les paul for Hetfield now apparently,may have that headstock.probably make it's appearance whenever the new tour starts off

don't think the headstock works as a symmetrical design with the rr v style body,but i like the body

the thing in plastic makes me think tasty,can i have it?

Guitar is sweet,and i'm generally a hater of gold hardware.woukd only like it more if the middle pickgurad layer was of white like the pickups and knobs

les pauls can have the channel routed before the top is put on or you can drill through from the neck pickup cavity and run it same way as pickup wires. explorer i think have a channel routed in the body under the pick guard up about as close as possible to control cavity then drilled through. i think in soome dime style guitars i've seen long back plates up the lower horn.others have tops like les paul. suprised they were the guitars you questioned,only one that ever puzzled me was when V's had the input on the upper wing.

i've one,an explorer,the old exp style,plays really nice,above some ltds,below others,pick ups do need changing though. my friend got one from germany before too,but i don't think they're sold outside japan anymore.

love explorers,thats really nice,i just hate the switch there,prefer it down by rest of controls.

so tempts me to do the same to my one,but only got it week ago so i'll probably wait with the gloss back for while,really nice though.

looks like an esp from the control layout,shape and where inlay seems to have been removed from 12th fret.

batteries last forever in actives providing you remeber to plug it out when not using,my uncles has lasted 5 years in his warlock.he put a little switch on though to turn it off to make sure

thanks,will trybthat bnext time i take it off. yeah i've an explorer with an aluminium diamond plate but its the 5 ridge type rather than one ridge.

while referring to diamond plate how could i make mine much shinier? its aluminium.

now to get out my ruler and convert inches to milllimeters,my guitars are a really mess of lines,if you want to check a measurement you've to first figure out what i used to measure it.

i'm just curious as to whether there are different width than a standard nech and how much wider at both the nut and 24th or whatever fret.

thanks if you've any info on this

i've built two guitars out of plywood,both really just experimental.the only problem i ever had was with my warlock because you have to use two 3/4" an one 1/4" pieces with the 1/4" in the middle i glued they layers together and sanded down prperly but cause it was from two different sheets the 1/4" dried ot and shrunk a bit so there's now this small indent around the middle of ll the sides. i also have an explorer built of a mahogany plywood and it works very well.

ok from bottom point fin to the top back point its 28" t measuring arond the curve just straight from the top back point to the bottom back point its 17 1/2".

hope that helps,explorers are brilliant guitars i've two,one i built and one i bought.heavy fu ckers but nice to play and balance and i've plans to build 2or 3 more.

basically i need a template for it or some one to give me a measurement of each angle and the length of both the inside and outside of the v roughly.

Thanks. its sort of hard to find any good wood round where i am so i'm sorted.

wondering is it ok to use it? i have a piece big enough to make to necks and fingerboards. if not what would you suggest to use with a mahogany neck for the fingerboard?

Jimbo, do you know of any shop in dublin selling black tailpiece,tunomatic bridge and tuners? I'm living in meath. usually end up just playing guitars in musicmaker till they kick us out when i'm in dublin so don't get much info then.

B.C. Rich warlock Black with purple Flames(In progress of building)

Rhoads V That I started 6monts ago then got bored with and didn't finish.(needs to be sprayed and still neeed to get pick ups,etc.)

Explorer (White/glued on neck)

Explorer (Black/glued on neck)

Explorer (Clear coated glued on neck)

explorer (with master of puppets cover on the front and all the rest black. the metallica logo and 'master of puppets' wont be on it.glue on aswell)

Its alot but i'm just going to mass produce the bodies and necks.i'l put parts on one explorer then as i go along(And save!!!)i'l put parts on rest. All going to have emg 81 i think so expensive.

I Love Explorers. have one with a thread plate/diamond plate front Which has being nicknamed the 'exfloorer'.

is it posible to paint tuners,tunomatic bridge and a stop tailpiece? Has anyone done this before and how has it turned out?
