    Birthdays coming up, dads offering to buy a guitar. I would love a Gibson blueshawk. Buddy at school had one, ive played it a few times, and loved it. he hated it and sold it for a tele. im not gonna ask dad for an $800 guitar, but im thinking $4-500 would be agreeable. Anyone have any opinions on the Hamer Archtop? Or how about Hamer in general? Experience? Thanks for any help.

    lots of classicals use spruce tops.
  4. aliendude012
    spanish classicals are traditionally spruce tops and cedar backs. but im not a wood expert(yet), so i couldnt tell you its cedar for sure.

    I dont think so, unless its some kind of an effect, like an octave dropper, but it would only drop 2 half steps, and only one string. itd be tough. im not as electronic as some of these guys, but id think the E would need its own pickup, and have that wierd effect wired in right away...

    suppose if youre careful it would work.

    depends on the amount of ambient noise the pups will recieve, as well as the distance from the speakers, like nyjbkim said. i wont get any feedback from my EMGs, some from the stockers in my Schecter, and lots from the shitty stockers in my yamaha $trat. And if i stand right up next to my amp and stick the pickups in front of an active speaker, itll make it louder. also, since you seem to like that sound, and youll figure this out on your own eventually, but moving the guitar back and forth, or closer and further in front of the speaker will change the sound a bit, enjoy

    well, the tutorial is at projectguitar.com, and it looks interesting, but i havent tried it. Sorry.

    I think it could be the adapter. Is that the correct power setting for Boss pedals? I'd tell you what mine is but I dont have it right here. I do think its power, though. Try throwing a 9v in it instead of using the AC adapter and see if the sound is still there. It could be guitar noise, too. My metal zone gives me a tiny hiss that is just pickup noise being amplified...i think.

    i got a guitar body on each

    Whoa ~ double post
  12. aliendude012
    If you do this, maybe write up a little tutorial. that'd be an awesome idea.

    Check this page for aerosol paints and dyes. And im new, too. Who is this bryan fellow and whats the PRS kit like? I wanna build one too.
  14. aliendude012
    i have an 81/85 set in my explorer and love it. id suggest that. havent tried or heard the 60 though.
  15. aliendude012
    damn dude, that is good. and i like the back, dont worry about it.
  16. aliendude012
    id say so. the carvin boards call the ae185 series the most amazing factory custom ever built. say its worlds beyond the most recent prs dragon. so it may be, and if so, i doubt the above is an original.
  17. aliendude012
    Wow. that aerosol blue dye at reranch is sweet! id love to use it, but it definitely wont it with my project. im gonna keep that in mind for future projects, though. im real interested in the black gold stuff, tho. grab a few cans of pearl black and kandy blue from them and i may be in business. anyone here have any experience with them? is it a good paint or should i avoid it? is $9 a can too much? thanks a heap, lovekraft.

    I searched again, found a thread on the forums at carvins website, and apparently there were only 6(AE-185s), and they all had different names(moonflower, orchid, catfish, etc). I searched again and i think this may have been one of them, i really have no idea tho. http://homepage.mac.com/pbbeck/gear/PhotoAlbum33.html
  19. aliendude012
    google turned up nothing, literally. not like nothing useful, nothing at all. therefor, i contend that this moonflower you speak of does not exist
  20. aliendude012
    i dunno, but i'd bet it just wouldnt dry.
  21. aliendude012
    Cool. Y'all got another two weeks before im home from school and start workin. I've painted it before but i did a shitty job sanding and not nearly enough clear, so this'll be my second shot at it. I wanna make it perfect this time. edit: what companies sell pearl and candy paints? preferrably in rattlecans if possible. I've been looking around plastikote and dont see any. edit again: dammit! duplicolor makes these kits for color shifting. if they had one for blue/black thatd be bitchin. but no, why would they do that?
  22. aliendude012
    ya know, that may be a better estimate. consider ESP(no comments, please). They sell copies of their artist models for ~$700. The actual artist model for like 2-3000, and if you fill out their customize sheet and get a quote, its in the ridiculous range of 5k+. So i'd bet devon is closer here.
  23. aliendude012
    nows as good a time as any to start!
  24. aliendude012
    I'd bet that since a stock one costs about $1600(Musician's Friend), if you got a custom built one, with more exotic woods, etc, it'd be about $2500. Dont quote me though.
  25. aliendude012
    i can kinda picture it. i'll have to test it out tho. im thinking perhaps, based on the color schemes in those pics, that a blue base with a translucent black would work too. do they make trans. black? or is that wishful thinking
