You use that method too wes?! I find it not only gives the guitar a vibrant green tint, but as a great man once said: "Everyone likes their own brand now, don't they?"

Hmm, I've seen them in music stores before but I actually thought the little bronzish looking things on the nut were small ferrules of a sort to hold the end of the string. Looks pretty cool, I'll have to try one out sometime.

Maybe this is false and a bit unrelated...but here it goes. A little tip I heard is that instead of buying those craptacular double ball end strings that have a tendency of breaking at one end or another. You can use regular Fender Bullets.

Just my 2 cents.

Thanks Ed, I'm positive he will help me quite a bit for the fact that he's a bit of a perfectionist. I am too but the amount of detail he puts in is amazing. I'm sure I'll learn alot from this. Does anyone know where I could get a cad version of a Rhoads V with the measurments? I could also use a few good wood suppliers in Canada, preferably near MB.

Thanks loads guys, all your comments are helpful.

Thanks man, I'm gonna go check out your bass right now.

Bump.

Yeah Primal he has one or I have access to one. 2 things though, How should I go about doing the electronics? Front or back, I personally thing back looks better but I'm afraid of doing the wire channel from the cavity to the actual humbucker cavity.

Also, I would like to put a strat style trem on it, would it be worth it? Is it a little too hard for a beginner?

Thanks again guys.

Hi all,

I'm new here so if I post out of topic or something (like get a foot in a picture) forgive me. I was wonder if building a neck-through rhoads copy is do-able. I plan on buying this neck: http://www.carvin.com/products/part.php?ItemNumber=NT6

My grandfather builds Violins with his spare time so I figure all I would really need to count for expenses would be: The neck, Wood for the wings (Alder) and hardware (tuners, bridge, electronics etc.)

Can anyone point out any major flaws with my plan? Am I an idiot for attempting this with no previous guitar building experience?

Thank you.
