Defiled

They are one of my favorite bands, although their older stuff is better than the new stuff. It's too bad not too many people really know who they are.

I have an L-500L and an L-500C in my PRS Santana SE. The L-500L has extremely clear tones, and when it is split it almost sounds acoustic. The C sounds quite a bit warmer than the L, but for some reason the sound gets really distorted on the bass side when I'm playing clean, it is quite annoying. I waited 14 weeks for my set, so think about that. Becky also cancelled my order without telling me. I'm still kinda dissapointed with their service.

really? I just checked ebay and couldn't find a thing. Where?

About a month ago when I was looking for a TOM for my guitar-in-progress there were more bass TOM's than guitar ones. I just assumed there would still be some around on their, my bad.

I'm not bad, but I could be a lot better if I regularly practiced. Semi-talented for me.

I've seen quite a few on Ebay

If you do go the Lawrence route, beware. I ordered my set (L-500L, L-280SM, L-500C) 10 weeks ago . Two weeks ago I asked Becky how much longer I should expect to wait (because no where on their website does it say an average wait of 6-8 weeks, don't bother looking, you won't find it), and yesterday I found out she had cancelled my order . Why? You got me there.... somehow in my email about waiting times she got the message that I didn't want my pickups. Sorry about the ranting, I'm extremely dissapointed after all of the hype I've heard about these pickups and I haven't even tried them yet. My pickups are now on their way though .

I live in the tiny town of Marcellus in southwest Michigan, USA

My neck is a flat sawn 1.75" thick piece of hard maple. I'm doing a Carvin headstock (6 on a side). What happens when a guitar is dropped seems to be creating the big contraversy over which one is better. Not saying that I won't care IF I drop my guitar, but I'm not going to scarf joint/not scarf joint for that reason. Will the afore mention neck blank take the strain of a 6 on a side headstock? I do plan on putting a volute on it.

What are the pros/cons of scarf jointing verses having the neck and headstock carved out of one piece of wood?

I've spent about $450 for everything minus finishing supplies (still have to order them) for my first build. A bit more than I had expected to spend, but thats kind of how everything works. Also I spent $90 for a quilted maple top , but I didn't have to buy any tools.

Oh yeah, that hardware would fit right into that guitar. Definately something to save up for.

ermm.... why is this pinned?

I liked MikeB's creation

Bigdguitars gets my vote for having the balls to enter his axe, it's not much to look at compared to the other 2 but it's got character

1 looks good to me

Looks great

Absolutely stunning

poop

What is that about?

Do 6 in-line headstocks have the same 13 degree tilt back angle 3-3 headstocks have?

I want one

Oh, my mistake... I didn't realize that you were not going to use that plastic. Yeah, using the same wood would look much better I didn't know if that was an option for you. I guess I should have through the thread a little more thoroughly

Remember you're also going to have to add a lip for the cover to sit on, I can't tell if you cut that cover big enough for one or not.
