    that's awesome dude...looks very sweet..
  2. american_jesus
    go play a classical...that's pretty much what you'd be getting...

    wow...that carve looks awesome. congrats on that, cant wait to see that bad boy nice and wet...she'll look beautiful. and a laminated fretboard eh...could be cool...you should do a maple fretboard with a paduk stripe down the middle.

    have you thought about possibly making a new body? that'd be pretty sweet if i do say so myself. you must like the neck enough if you wanna redo it, so why not buy some mahogany and build a nice flattop body, and have a better guitar than you started with instead of a mediocre guitar with better parts?

    LGM, i've never been one for those "metal" guitars with the cuts into the body like that, but all of your work...absolutely beautiful. i really would love to play one of those...very excellent, and great designs.

    looks good. what do you do for finished on your guitars? and how are you going to finish the guitar(paint it) in 1 day?!
  7. american_jesus
    ...nasty...not my cup 'o' tea.
  8. american_jesus
    well, if i were you, i'd either depart with the strat headstock, or make it extra long... sorry to hear about the troubles, but it does look great as a whole...
  9. american_jesus
    you should be ok. maybe shim it? but it's quite a thin gap, so you should be alright.

    ash isn't going to be so good for the neck, especially one that thin. if you can get a piece of mahogany, use that for the neck, it's a harder wood. wont bend on you.

    "American Jesus- That's ok. I just prefer simplicity. When my friends hand me a guitar with 43 knobs, and are like "Dude, this is so awesome", it makes me think if I should be playing guitar, or just twisting the knobs. If that made any sense, thanks for voicing your opinion." i love simplicity...dont get me wrong. those 400 button machines are annoying as anything to play...but when something is overly simplified i think it takes away from the whole picture. as i said before, that just looks like a couple pieces of wood...i'd rather have something with the TOM/stop piece and a couple pickups and knobs on there. i understand it's your guitar, and it's done how you want, and i'm sure it's everything you wanted it to be, but it's just not my cup o tea...

    i kinda have mixed thoughts on that. one part of me says that's sweet. an embedded pickup is cool as hell...and only the saddle for the bridge, pretty smart. but another part of em tells me it's too simple. it's just too....bleak. looks like a piece of wood with some strings...doens't really look like a guitar. i'm sure the worksmanship is good on it, and i bet it plays nice, but...if i saw it in a store...no offense, but i'd walk by...
  13. american_jesus
    any type of bending will move the bridge. it's floating, so any extra tension to the strings will throw off the balance of the bridge, and cause it to raise up a little.

    hyunsu, you're awesome. love the work you do. if you ever begin to sell the guitars you do, lemme know. i'll buy...
  15. american_jesus
    lookin good wade! very nice carving...
  16. american_jesus
    why not just make some over sized pickup rings out of some ebony or something? that'd look nice, i think...
  17. american_jesus
    one quote's stuck with me for a long time. "if some new pickups, a new nut and some new tuners will make an epiphone sound just like a gibson, epiphone's wouldn't be so cheap". you can upgrade all you want, and you could still get a very nice axe, but it's not gonna be the same as a les paul. so, take it with a grain of salt. dont want to rain on your parade, but dont be mad when it still sounds like an epiphone.,

    my jackson tele style guitar has a tummy contour and a forearm contour. feels great to play...pretty nice...do it.
  19. american_jesus
    little bump...curious if you've done anything?
  20. american_jesus
    there's no real reason to glue it. it'll stay just fine, and that way, it'll be infinately easier to intonate. anyways, www, the only reason i've encountered the need to take off all the strings was to do a through cleaning, or reset a bolt on neck. that's about it.
  21. american_jesus
    setch...i hate you. that thing looks BEAUTIFUL! i'm sure it plays great too! helluva looker. what pickups are going in that beauty?
  22. american_jesus
    oh yeah...look at the back front.jpg] back.jpg]
  23. american_jesus
    what you're getting at with the finishes is true. the thin, almost non existant finish let more of the woody characteristics of the guitar shine through, while the thick, yet flashy, poly finishes deaden the wood.
  24. american_jesus
    i think a metallic blue would make it look too modern. a traditional burst, or a plain white would make it much more correct for the time period it was made. or you could get post modern on it and do a gradient from white to black, and mimick that on the headstock...that'd be sweet...
  25. american_jesus
    about time! heh, do you sell these guitars or play them all? that's a helluva lot of guitars.
