I like it. Seems like something i'd do on a bored day.

Put me in the I love that finish category. That's gorgeous!

That's absolutely amazing. Can't wait to see a finished product, and good idea on the screwy pickup covers.

I'll take some! i'm broke.

orange peel or not, it's still pretty. just maybe level sand and clear again and you might be ok.

My cousin and I built a whamola from aluminum square tube. sounds awesome.

wow. that is slick. im planning on starting my first build this spring/summer. i've been planning on it for a year or two now though haha. im a procrastinator like the rest of my family, but im actually going to this time.

hate to post on an old thread, but in regards to the blind comment, my cousins mom had a blind friend a long time ago. he made custom gunstocks for a living..... they were beautiful too. i dont know how he pulled it off but it was amazing. i think his last name was shank if anyone's ever heard of him.

that back countor and neck pocket carve is gorgeous! thats gonna be one comfortable guitar.

does anyone know ay sites with good information on how tube amps work?

its a 100-watt with a bright and normal channel. each channel has two inputs and volume bass and treble controls. the cab is a 2x12 with two chrome ports halfway down. im not sure what the speakers are, as i dont want to take it apart and risk screwing over the tuck and roll. im looking at possibly selling it, but im not sure yet. anyone know what it is or how much i can get out of it?

most likely swamp ash...... havent decided really though. whatever's cheap at reeder's........

1.......... definitely 1.............. but whatever you want is whatever you want

alrighty i've never scratch built a guitar before obviously, but i have built from parts..... which actually turned out rather well. I have a rough template laid out for a jackson King-V style guitar, and i plan to start buying supplies when income tax returns come in. It will be 25.5 inch scale, 24 frets, reversed headstock if i decide to build my neck, white front w/black tiger stripes, black sides, white back w/ black cavity covers, a kahler traditional trem w/behind-the-nut lock, jumbo frets on an ebony board w/no front inlays. it will have side dots and be on a bare maple bolt-on neck. I plan to use 2 EMG select pickups for now but i will eventually upgrade to an EMG 81 set. Truss rod will be adjusted at the nut. I am stuck between alder and ash as body woods. can anyone point out the sound and weight differences to me by chance? Thanks for anyone's help on that question and all opinions and suggestions are welcome.

yeah it should shouldnt it? hmmm........ gives me ideas.

i need some decent inexpensive pickups to put in a guitar. I was looking at these and they dont seem too bad. what do you guys think?

i have to agree with mickgaurd...... if you can play a fence...... more power to ya...... i mean who comes up with this? these are probably some of the most creative minds we've got........ to bad they're in australia with a violin bow and barbed wire instead of running the government like the clowns we've got now...... but ill keep my political views to myself.

i LOVE all the stuff on that site. its amazing..... being a sax player myself i found i was partial to the contrabass saxophone..... what a brute.

wow if this isnt amazing........ please someone tell me what is.

gorgeous....... downright gorgeous.

hardcore = yes. norma jean..... the chariot yes? good stuff. sometimes pretty simple though. its all about stage presence

i have a black charvel with a black pickgaurd, 22 frets, 2 humbuckers, volume and tone knobs, 5 way switch, jackson style headstock. neckplate has the charvel guitar shaped logo, serial is 245814. it's a fort worth adress on the plate. it has all jackson tuners, maple neck and rosewood fretboard, standard dot inlats. a kahler traditional bridge and locking mechanism behind the nut. truss rod adjusts at the headstock if it matters. any help is appreciated.

that is downright gorgeous

that pickgaurd design is sexy..... that guitar is all around sexy....... but build it with some pretty wood and use a clear pickgaurd with like some trim around it in the color your hardware is going to be...... that would look real nice.

i need a 4-track cassette recorder with 4 track simultaineous recording and at least a 2-band eq on each track. all i really have to offer is a boss ds-1 and a zoom ps02 palmtop studio w/ a (lousy) 8 meg smart media card. i sometimes use the ps02 as an effects processor, as i like some of the distortion models on it. i dont care if the 4-track has XLR or 1/4 inch jacks, as well as it doesnt need phantom power (my mixer can provide that for me) but it DOES need 4-track simultaneous record capability. this is to be used to record a full band (isolated of course) all at once. variable speed and pitch controls are desirable but not necessary. if you're near shelby or mansfield ohio i could probably arrange to pick it up and trade in person. thanks a lot for any help.
