croaticum

Ill talk to the folks in BCR and ill PM you with their answer. I became their official servicer for Croatia few months ago. Ill see what i can do for you. But if you just go to your local dealer im sure you'll find out that they will send you a replacement neck for your guitar especially if you do gave a orriginal BCR.

I have BCR worlock signatured and it has a head design that you looking for. It is a bolt on as well. I can messure it for ou if you plan to make your own and if you decide to do so just send me pm.

Wierd it reminded me of a coffee too

I, like unclej, like to do as much as i can with my hands but Robo-Sander is great thing to do this job. I used an old brum stick and wrapped sanding paper around it. Also a red bull can is good for that. I poor some plaster in red bull san so it doesnt bend. But if you dont like sanding by hand then Robo-Sander is the thing for you!

yep, thats it! Ok, hers the pic i promissed: Head Ruffly modeled back side And back of the head Im sorry that my cam couldnt provide more detaild pics. Building necks is fun Now im gonna shape it more by hand and make sure it fits my needs. What do you guys think of it so far?

Thanks for the link. Im not saying there is none maple or other woods here but they are moasltly premade for constructions and it is very hard to find a chunk of wood for a one or two piece body. As for the necks i can find pieces for neck very cheep. This neck that im working on now cost me less then 2 bucks. It is not as hard as you might think to shape neck. Belive me this is my first and i havent made any mayor mistakes. As i said before it is not hard to find a neck piece of any type of woods here and it costs next to nothing. Thx for offer Anyways, today im hoping to finish first stage of neck building and ill post few pics later.

Well i really dont have a reason to lie to you. There is just a 2-3 meters loang and about 15-20 cm construction wood i can get my hands on. In my region there is absolutelly no mill that can provide me with a peace of maple, belive it or not and as for some that claimed they can the price was astronomical. I tried to look at our local mills and even in hobby centers but no wood. There is planty wood for a acustics and some of the greatest builders are in my region but same prob. Eather they process their own wood or they order from germany, UK etc... The dominator v that im working on now is made out of honduran but it is a 5 piece body. If you have some links from Bosnia or Hungary it would be great if you could send it to me. I would really apriciate it. I am in Osijek, at slavonian region so i have about an hour to hungary Pecs and about hour away from Sarajevo so that would be awesome. The honduran mahogany is way cheaper here then maple as far as i know and as i ewalk the streets i see mapell arround me.LOL Maybe i should cut someLOL Or maybe i just stink at locating good wood dealer? Anyways hope you have some links or addresses for me thx

good point there, but thouse woods are really hard to find in Croatia. I was in trying to find a 2 pieces of mapel here and no one could provide it. I know it sounds hilarious but that is the truth! Not many of us here make solidbodyes. I know just one guy beside myself that works on electrics and he is too on this forum. Rosewood and ebony i wont even try to find here cos that will end up in nervous brakedown. Well, theres allways stumack Yea thats good q, i can even make carbon fiber rods since i work on car tunning as one of my hobbies.

This is so cool I remember when i first saw travel guitar. I think it was epiphone les and it was sooooo small.

Well i started this after i recived Bill Jehle's Control Freak CD and since this is my first neck build it is more likely to go wrong than to turn out right! But you never know. I am really satisfied with the backside of the neck for now. It really metck my hand and as i said few times i think itl turn out ok. This build was moastly started inspired by CD and i was going to see what are the things that can go wrong while making one. LOL Regarding trus rod cavity that shouldnt be any problem cos i didnt make angeled neck so i guess 2 clamps, table and im ok. For now i used microplane rasp that cost me about 4 bucks and this

yes, thx Bill it is really not that hard since i saw you build it so now i have a good ide what to do. I will go with adjustable trus rod on this one, and if i screw up ill start over. Ok here is some pics for you guys: thats the blank i had and here is some progress pics: 1. After i decided and cut what kind of head i want on it 2.I tried to show you guys a side wiev but i guess i failed lol 3.On this one you can actually see the progress More to come....

Thx, Well since i have shovel instead of my nand i made it a bit wider. It is 4,7 mm at nut ans 6 mm at the end of aneck. And im making it by the eye, well i did mesure all and now im shaping it by the feal. For now im really happy with it, and i even thot that would be harder to do then it really is. Ill post some pics later on today to show you the progress, and tools i used so far. Next one on my list of questions would be do i really need trust rod in the neck that will have only .9 strings on since it is made from really hard wood? I am going to put it in but i was just wondering since it is gouing to be bolt on and all.

I started on my first neck project and it is comming along good. For now. Ill have some pics tomorrow 'cos i left my cam at my gf and i cand download it from my DV-cam. Now I did some progress on the curve on the back of the neck and im thinking of experimenting a bit. Since it is my first project, as for a neck, could imaybe do a honduran mahogany fretboar? Did anyone tried that(I really dont think that no one didnt tryed but still...) And what about oak? Or any sugesstions maybe? Thx in advance!

Nice guitar!!! Is that Thompson signatured BCR neck on it?

Awww man, that looks sweet

Bluespresence was one of the guys that convinced me that even i can start building guitars and he was allwas arround when i needed advice. He would be missed greatly but he will live through our memories forever. Untill we meet my friend.... R.I.P

Welcome Mitch

Ok, Is there anyone that knows what is all used for sealalers and any alternatives to it? In other words what is all used as sealer and what is it made off? I ask this 'cos apperently none of the stores that i was looking for it never heard of it(me being where i am) so i was wondering what could i use instead. thx

Welcome to the forum Robert Irizarry and im sure youll have great support here once you start your project.

Welcome Littleman, and enjoy

I have hand router from Pevec Btw where are you from?

Thank you. This is not a prob since it is done on my fingers. I can reach it and it sits just great in my hand. Im not planing to sell it since tis is my second build and im still too attached to it. I dont have mechanization for that just jet but working on that thing now. Im hoping this year ill get my self a bendsaw, good router and some other stuff. Since it is really hard to find good wood in croatia it is hell to find bits to make wooden templates so for now im using just papper and that is about it. So for now oast of work that i do is by hand and i must admitt that i konna like it that way. cos i am more setisfied when it is finished and even flaws that i made are telling a story

But still.... You can let it off gratually according to your trottle. Not like handbrake in automatics that you just push it with leg but behind shifter and you can slowly ease the brake as you accalerate. Thats what i ment to say. I know that requires some getting used to but once it is mastered you just do it never think about it. Anyways i like bouth a auto and stick. Here in europe sticks are more comon 'cos they use lot less of gas.

Well you know there is this little thing called handbrake so that statement dont really hold water. It is harder to drive stick 'cos you have more things to do then driving auto. As someone here said the best way would be to go to the rent-a-car and rent one with stick and decide. I drive stick all my life but i sometimes take my brothers auto when i dont wanna think while im driving. LOL If i offended anyone by any statement i posted here that was not my attention to do. As i said try it before you buy it.

Ok guys today i finally got something done on guitar. In the morning i got my paint and started to paint a headstock just to see what would it turn out and i made my first screw up on it But nothing ireversable so im just showing you the color and i would like to hear some comments on it or some ideas. So here is pic with crewed up thingie that turned out while i was polishing it I made my self a heat chamber so i can paint it and polish it the same day Anyways heres some more pics so you can see the color better http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v167/cro...nator/ng007.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v167/cro...nator/ng006.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v167/cro...nator/ng001.jpg
