Pickups:(description from the place that i got them) This is a set of 2 Humbucking Pickups. These pickups feature bobbin tops that are made with Real Wood!!! They are made with Alnico Magnets, and have a great tone similar to a PAF type pickup. However, the output is a lot hotter. These pickups also feature a 5 Conductor Lead (allowing you to coil tap either of these pickups, as well as any other fancy wiring you want to do with them). Neck: 22 frets, not sure of fretboard radius (thinking 16), not sure of the wood (thinking Mahogany), and rosewood fretboard.

I have never tried that combination, but I hear that you should produce a nice sound, i am going to try that combination on the guitar I am working on right now.

Sounds like a really good idea. This confused me, but still sounds really kool, hope to see some progress pics soon.

Yeah, the headstock was well...... a wrong cut , but after having to look at it for ever... I came to grow on it. Well I have no given up, but being in High School and as of now having no job and paying for a car, is not leaving me any money for building and the next step I have to do is to install the Truss Rod and the fretboard. As soon as I can find a job, I will continue, I seriously want to finish a project, don't feel like being one who just talks about making guitars but never does.

Metal Matt you are my one of my top favorite builders here. You seriously have to start working for B.C. Rich or ESP or somebody........ But this design is looking hot as possible. I think the headstock fits, keep the pictures coming.

Are there any benifits of having a roller nut? Are they any downs?

I am going to try(when my ebay items sells, so i have the money) what Dan Erlewine suggests in his book, How To Make You Electric Guitar Play Great(p.30), and buy one .012" saw and then .016", .024", and .036" files. From stewmac it costs around 50 with shipping. Unless there is another site that sells files and saws, it might be cheaper.

If any one is interested. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...me=STRK:MESE:IT need to get money to buy saws and files to make guitar nuts.

I sent you a PM.

Wrong thread

Which ones are still for sale?

jay5, thanks for the great fret bender, I just made one and it only cost me 5 dollars, have a friend who works at Home Depo, but it is a really good idea! Thanks!

That looks like the one that is in my guitar, but mine is just black. Like westhemann said, there was no easy to to replace it with the new EMG input jack, but looking at the chart that came with the pickups, they are set up the same.

Well, I switched from HZs to 81/85 and WOW, the difference was amazing. It wasn't too hard to wire in, just i couldn't replace input jack, so i just solders the battery wire to the current one, and everything works fine.

Yeah, I read the instructions for installing them, but it do you think it is worth it to have 81/85 instead of HZs?

It would be easy to switch out a pair of HZ for 81/85, all you would have to do is solder in a place for the battery, and then just take out the HZs and put the 81/85 in its place, right?

Progress: 2/11/05 Cut out the neck today, Changed the head shape a little, and now it will be sanding for the weekend.

After asking numerous amounts of questions and reading books, I think I am ready to start on my first from scratch guitar. I plan on taking it very slow to make sure everything is accurate and correct, I have a friend who is amazing at CAD and also the shop teacher helping me out with tools, so hopefully when I finish this guitar, I will have enought knowledge to go off by my self for the next guitar. My insperation comes from an Ibanez Iceman 400 and an ESP F400. I loved the shape of the iceman and the curves of the F400. I got with my friend who CADs( He draws also) and we came up with this body design. It is going to be 24 Frets with Seymour Duncan Jb/59 pickups.(plans for so far.) Progress: 02/10/05 I had to reglue the neck blank a little, the way I clamped it, it made the wood bend a little forward, so I did not have a solid connection between the two pieces of wood. That was fixed and once again thanks to my CAD man, I had a life size template of the neck, and traced in on the blank, cutting tomorrow. This was the wrong way, to fix it, I just put the other clamp the the other way and problem was solved. To test out the connection when the glue wood was tilting a little bit, he just banged it on a the table, and the second piece just flew off. Now it is nice and tight and tomorrow I am planning on cutting out the neck.

How would you figure out so it was be the correct Radius when you are bending it?

Is the arbor all that is needed to fret a guitar(other than glue, files, cutters and other small mundane things)? I thought that the arbor press bends them for you and puts it in place, then all you have to do is just sand and then level to finish.
