  1. What type of router do you all recomend. At the moment I'm considering getting a plunge router (or borrowing one if I can find one) for my first project, but I wont have access to a table. Any recomendations?
  2. Anyone got that url? Where is it: Its a place in Melbourne Australia (kinda far out for most of you guys), but I've been told (going in next week maybe...) that they sel enough Musical Instrument quality wood to make 5 guitar bodies for arround $100 USD. Cant remember the exact details, I;'ve got them written down on my computer, so I dont know what actual wood it was, or where the place is. All I can remember is that they were a furniturwe woods store or something. What kinds of woods would be stable enough to do something like this? Andrew
  3. Hey I've stumbled upon a store that sells Musical instrument quaality wood in massive boards, for insanely cheap prices. When I saw them I started thinking about making a guitar and neck out of one solid peice of tonewood such as Tasmanian Blackwood, and then capping it with a Mapple top and a Rosewood or Ebony fingerboard. My plan is to make a bass, and I was wondering....WILL THIS WORK?? Will this put to much pressure on my neck, cause toneal problems, or just contruction problems. Thanks Andrew
  4. Hey Im considering picking up a fairly cheap Yamaha BB3000A, and I was wondering if anyone knew about/had any experience with this guitar. The only thing I've found out about it on the web is that supposedly the bass player from No Doubt used one of these at a gig some time. Thanks
  5. *Punt* -> gotta love those new ways of saying bump (well everyone deserves to see this) Jivin, if i havent PM'd you by the time uve read this, im a web designer as well (though VERY lasy as of late and havent been designing much), because there are allot of highly skilled luthiers that deserve some recognition in kind of an open forum style page......i dunno, RANTING Skillgannon
  6. Hey A few questions: Does it matter how many frets your using for that fretboard calculator (from what I gather it seemed to be for only 23 fret guitars)? How do you find out the scale of a brand of guitar eg. Just google it, or is there a specific reference for looking up the scale of Alembic's, or Ibanez's or whatever? Also does anyone have any tutorials related to 4-5 string bass's....I'd ask more probabally but I'm tired so im going to pack it in. Later Skillgannon
  7. Holy-mother-of-some-guitar-making-religious-diety Try saying THAT really fast Hyunsu, you........speechless (At this rate theres going to need to be a post dedicated soley to worshipping Hyunsu's guitars.......actually theres a few luthiers on this site that deserver that)
  8. Hey I've read some tutorials on both electric and bass construction (only one decent one on bass's though, and there wasnt really any detail. :helpAnyone who knows of any, the info would be GREATLY apreciated:help). Anyway, the main point. Do the width of necks and fingerboards on 4 string bass's, 5 string bass's and 6 string electrics vary? I know allot is up to personal preference, but is it possible, for example, to build a 4 or 5 string bass using a template for a 6 string guitar. Thanks Skillgannon
