Yup, that headstock is so much cooler than Ibanez ones...
-
I use two different tunings: D G C F A D the other is in Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb On the acoustic usually the standard tuning or the Eb one...
-
That's what I though a lot of times! But it's better to talk about this in the web fun section... Anyway, I saw a neck-through ibanez in a guitar store... I didn't knew they were making neck-through stuff...
-
I voted for JFC. But I liked all of them. Southpa, hope you'll get that guitar back.

Nearly 5 years.

Yeah, it took me too long to sing and play at the same time.

How do you shape your necks/fingerboards?
Alchool replied to GuitarMaestro's topic in Solidbody Guitar and Bass Chat
First of all I cut the rough neck with a bandsaw (and headstock angle too). Then I rout the truss-rod channel when the sides are still square, then again I cut the sides. Then I cut the fingerboard, and glue it. After the glue has hardened, I start to shape the back of the neck with rasps and sanding paper. Then I radius the fretboard, put the frets on, and paint . Oh, since I made 3 neck-through guitars, the final shaping of the neck is done with the wings attached... don't know if that's the right way, but works fine for me. -
I usually do the same. I've made just 4 neck-blanks (3 of them for a neck-through), maybe I used too much glue, but I squeezed them pretty hard too, and they came out quite good. But I never made any test... One of them is mahogany, but it's laminated, with the center section blank having the grain reversed... Still working on that guitar (it's neck-through), so I don't know how it's going to be when strings will be finally on. I also think that the sound will be just too muddy...
-
From my little experience, if you don't use grainfiller on mahogany it will absorb everything. But then again I only made solid color finishes.
-
I voted two. Three is just too pointy for a 3+3 in my opinion. And I like two better than one.

This Guitar is Disco Stu Approved

Actually I'm having no problem with the top mounted locking nut. Maybe I just never noticed... But I'm a big tremolo abuser...

KH2 & 3 have alder bodies, bolt-on maple necks (OFR) KH2 Vintage has alder body, maple thru neck (OFR) KH602 & 603 have maple bodies and maple thru necks (OFR) KH202 & 203 have basswood bodies, bolt-on maple necks (Loscenced Floyd) Now which is closest to what you see Kirk with on stage? Definitely the KH-2 Vintage. The KH-2 that he uses are all neck-throughs. And one of them is beat to crap (the one with the "Caution: HOT" sticker).
-
Looks good. Don't be embarassed because there are guys like me that aren't *exactly* experts. (I've build just one guitar and I'm in the process of building two others). Are you going to do it set neck or bolt on?
-
Floyd, it's more "killer" than bigsby, if ya know what I mean.
-
It's since I replaced it. I'm thinking maybe it's the wiring. Gotta check something better.
-
He's the man. I voted guitar for the same twisted and perverse reason.
-
Thank you. Sounds strange... the pick-up was new...
-
?!? Sorry, just posted twice...
-
Ahahahah It goes neeeeeeeeeee
-
Distortion is coming from the amp. What do you mean with "What kind of feedback?" If microphonic feedback is that high-pitched-ear-ripping sound, then should be microphonic feedback.
-
It's not a grounding problem. Touching the strings or the bridge doesn't make it disappear. Could it be some bad wiring?
-
Even if I move feedback still occurs. Mmm... I don't know if a $500 Marshall amp is cheap. Some one told me that maybe it's because it's a non-tube amp...

Oh well I made a guitar out of african mahogany.
