    Yeah, Dunno why you'd wanna come over, what with the world's deadliest snake, the worlds deadliest spider, the worlds deadliest octopus, killer jellyfish, killer sun (just below the hole - you know) - don't go back-paking, we have a killer for them as well. Oh and maybe a dingo with an appetite for children (although the jury is still out on that one.......) Chris

    Re: Truss rod Do you have a curved slot, or a flat bottomed one? The traditional rod requires a curved (in profile) slot

    essentially piezos are piezo-electric crystals, that produce a tiny current when compressed, thus a vibration produces an alternating current signal at a corresponding frquency - thus their usefulness in this application. They do require direct contact with the string to create the deisred effect - thus the bridge is the appropriate location. The signal produced is very small, thus is usually boosted by an onboard amplifier, and many of those have some form of eq Acoustically an electric guitar sounds - similar - to a steel string acoustic, well moreso than it does a tuba. This form of pickup amplifies the acoustic response of the string and guitar - so the result is a passable acoustic guitar sound

    The guitar of my dreams exists - on paper...... In the design phase of my guitar - a stratotype and have hit a small snag - or perhaps a solution. The neck joint - I dont want it to be a big bulky thing but I am not panicky about it. But anyway the area I have drawn out is a tad smaller than the typical fender neck joint. Now to increase contact area I have invisioned initally not routing the joint flat, but leaving a central spine, say 10mm or so both high and wide running north/south down the pocket, with a corresponding slot on the neck - sort of a finger-joint type of thing Then I thought - a slight dovetail in profile will increase this moreso. Is this more trouble than it's worth or a good idea????

    Anyone from Australia......... What woods are recommended for a standard stratotype neck, that are readily available in Australia - especially around Sydney. I have seen pacific maple - but that's different to rock maple, any ideas Chris.
