Yeah Thats Sounds cool actually.

But, could i made a guitar neck out of Teak? Just a Question?

I dunno if i could make a Fretboard out of it.

Ill Post some pics of it Later But i wanna get to work on it.

Pine Yeah Could be ok, but Does Pine Not have alot of knots in the wood, or does that make a difernace?

Thanks Keith

yeah ok, the brazilian walnut is actually off of a Floor in an apartment, nearby me.

But what Softwood's can i use for making a body of a guitar?

and where do ya get basswood? and whats it like

i would actually like to know the Depth that you go down, the humbuckers i have are mounted by Springs, but see if ya can find out what depth do you go down for both?

Thanks Alot, Keith

ok kewl, yeah i think im getting Brazilian Wallnut for the inlay.

well, pine would be ok, just as a body, but wouldnt sustain very well, but would be quite light and dint very easy, am i right in what you were saying?

i dont mind the wood dinting easy, ill just have to take care of it.

but i have a guitar that i am making now out of teak which i pointed out allready, but i am making a design in the wood, and want to inlay a piece of wood in it about 10Cm down in the front of the body, can i use any wood there?

just wanna know, can i use softwood, like pine to make a guitar?

i have teak here, but im sorta runing out of it and wanna know what else can i use?

and is there much differances in the sounds or does it make a differance.

im currantly using the teak for the guitar im doing now.

Thanks Alot.

yeah ok ill show pic's of it in a while, but i am now doing another guitar at the moment, that is sorta origanal, its a Ibenez RG Body, with some tricks up my sleve

yeah, somethin like that.

i do hurling actually

Bump, Something Happend to my guitar, it got smashed in half.

So i have to make another one.

but, i have a Really Kewl thing i want to do with me next, ill keep the pic coming.

i think that guitar is very good for 14 years of age, but what i would do if i was you, i would sand it down alot till you got it right, mine was fairly choppy looking at the start aswell, just keep sanding it down and it will look Very nice.

Keep it up, definelty keep sanding it tho.

Very good

...keith

While im waiting for my guitar to be done, i might aswell show ye some pictures of some of a few guitars we have.

There ya's go.

The guitar on the left is a spanish guitar we got in the local market for 2 euro.

The 2nd guitar is a line 6 varix, Very Nice guitar indeed.

The 3rd one is my 12 string accoustic, sounds great

The 4th one is my main guitar i use, its a Jackson JS 30 with the Reverse HeadStock and Floyd Rose Bridge, Best guitar i have i think

the 5th one is a Ovation Guitar, thats my da's, reall nice Chime outa That.

The 6th, its a Fender HMT Custom Guitar, its sorta like a tele, but has 2 pickups, one under the bridge, and one Lace single coil Pickup.

The 7th is a Fender accoustic that i use quite alot. Great Tone.

and theres loads more out in the garage where we practice.

Just thought i'd post em while i am making me guitar.

yeah, about that output jack, em i havent done it yet. lol

But im thinking ill use Perspex as a back cover for it, but one of ye could design a cavity cover for me.

Thanks

Keith

thanks, ive near to finished now and im still wondering what shape of Cavity cover i should do for the back of it, the ones i made so far look Crap to be honest.

Would anyone Design me a Cavity cover in Paintshop pro or something, and show me, and i will use the design ya give me,

And i wanna Design a Logo for the guitar. me 2nd name is Sherwood, so something to do with that, and also ya could try and design a logo for me, lol

Thanks...

SantaClaws o<[]:-)

Thats very nice guitar you have there looks sorta simular to mine.

Have a Look: http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.php?showtopic=7532

as a matter of intrest, what did you use to finish the body off with, Lacquer or Varnish, and what brand

Thanks... keith

VG

well lads,

i am now at the stage where i am varnishing the body, i went to the local hardware store here and i picked up: RONSEAL UltraTough HardGlaze Polyurethane Varnish, I Sanded the body down till i was happy with it, then i applyed the 1st coating of varnish, and then the 2nd, and then after the 2nd coat was dryed i sanded all the bumps out of it with Special Sandpaper (180) for Varnish.

Once that was done i applyed the 3rd coating and the 4th and then sanded down again, to get the bumps our of it, so what im gonna do now is apply 3 layers of Varnish and then, sand down with 360, and on the last Coating ill use 600.

here is the guitar dry on its 6th coating waiting for 7th.

it looks a bit bumpy there thats because i have to sand down on the 7th coat.

and it also looks alot crapyier in the photo

.... keith

oh yeah, your guitars look nice, and ure website is kewl!, i like the button "Do Not Click" thats great.

im Varbishing my Guitar at the mo, so, ill post some pics of it soon

.....keith

yeah my dad bought a Variax, Sounds Just Great, But yeah the accoustic, actually does sound like an accoustic, and the good thing about the Variax is that you can download some more tones somehow and upload em to your guitar using a RJ45 Cable ( Network Cable) Great Piece Of Work it is, yeah the neck isnt too bad, but i would like a 24 fret neck on it, and i'd be happy

yeah thanks stalefish, im actually lacquering right now as i speak, well its not Lacquer, its RONSEAL Tough Polyurethane Gloss Varnish. But yeah i have done the selector Switch, and I played the guitar with the electrics in it, and believe you me, It Sounds Really Crisp, and that wasnt even shielded when i was playing it.

Thanks Again "Dude"

Are you Gona Make a Guitar BTW?

...........keith

Bump

yeaA whats a sealer coat, and do i have to do that before i laquer

?

well actually i was thinking of using it, but when i got home and showed my brothers, thy were like, " youre not gonna put that on are ya?" so thats why i said i'd post it here just to see what people thought of it.

but my self i think ill just use the wood to cover it. much neater job.

Thanks anyways.

well i was thinking of countersinking the cover.

yeah its a good idea allright, but for me i would like to use the same wood that i made the guitar out of to make the Cavity Covers.

What do ya think

Here is a Picture Of my guitar from the back, with the new cavity cover i made.

I dunno if it looks great or not, but ye lads will tell me.

the cavity cover isnt finished by any means, but that is bacicly what its gonna look like. its just sitting on top of the guitar.

Please post your comments and Bad **** About it.
