  1. i cut out my guitar body a few days ago with a jigsaw, and used a rasp to get closer to the line, but im finding it hard to get the sides go straight down from the front/back.

    i was thinking about using a router to slowly take it of and straightening it, is this a good idea, or are there a risks of tear outs?

    any help or advice would be appreciated or anyone elses methods.

    cheers

  2. a guitar i put together a while back decided it wanted to stop working, so i had to get new electronics. . However, its h/s/h formation an i wanted to wire it up like this diagram

    but when i got my 5 way the contacts were not like -

    1...2...3...4

    ..1...2...3...4

    they were like this -

    1...2...3...4...

    ........1...2...3...4

    so do i wire it by counting from one end and going 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 as they come,

    or do i count each side seperately, as in the diagram in the link, just offset?

    i hope thats clear, and any help would be appreciated

  3. cheers for the replies.

    i think ill end up drawing my own plans, but i was interested because its my first project and i wanted a v because of the easy shape, but i dont like the non gibson v's.

    i was gonna make just a gibson style body, but that was about all id decided on so far, i havnt decided on hardware/ pickups etc.

  4. i was thinking about starting a flying v project soon (gibson style), but im unsure of the size.

    i was looking at the stew mac one peiece bodies, but was wondering if 13 3/4" by 20" was enough wood.

    does anyone know the dimensions of the flying v shape, or if this is enough before i buy plans.

    cheers.
