    And, before any other post it: "Measure twice, cut once" I always wanted to say it one day

    Well, I get an infarct every time I see someone smashing a guitar No one thinks about my poor, little hearth?

    If you see me playing, you'll think that I'm insane... I mean, I always went crazy when I played live, even when I'm rehearsing with my groups... You know, it's like I'm raping my guitar, I play it on my shoulders, or make a lead licking the strings (tasty),lol we often play slayer songs and my guitar is mounting a vintage trem so you can figure out how bad it seems I'm threating a $200 guitar... but she's still ok ... it's not necessary to throw it in the air to entertain people

    That's the point!

    Surely they love playing guitars, but... if you love someone, you don't set her on fire....

    I would NEVER smash or burn my guitar. I have I Yamaha Pacifica 112, one of their cheapest model, but I would not destroy her even if someone will give me a Jackson Kelly handmade from the custom shop. I may seem stupid saying this, but only a person that REALLY loves guitars, even if they're cheap plywood ****, can really understand me. Consider that it's since four years that me and my guitar are thrashing the **** out of all that people that buy high end guitars and can't even play a MegadetH riff... I also saved a $15 guitar that (even if it has a solid body) plays like **** and was going to be smashed by some punk... of course I buyed it, but even stealing it would not have been a crime... Sorry for the long O.T., but I agree with westhemann and ryesnotcool2

    Anyway, I forgot to say, Kerry King of Slayer (that as many of you know is a heavy whammy bar addict... I mean, if you see it sometimes it seems like he's going to pull that f****ng bridge out of his guitar) uses Original Floyd Rose and Kahler.

    But now there's the new Speedloader Floyd Rose. With no need of allen wrenches. You can change a string in... mmm... they say a couple of seconds, but I think a little more time is needed. But you have to buy Speedloader strings

    I knew that the main difference's the number of pieces... I guess that this time westhemann reply was more explanatory But as always, thank you!

    Can I make a neck with 2 laminates of maple? What are the differences between two-ply laminated neck and three-ply?
  11. Alchool
    Yes, I got a manual, but I lost it I think that it needs a flat channel too.
  12. Alchool
    It's the first (A).

    Hi all, got another question. I have a warmoth double expanding truss rod and I'm ready to route the channel on the neck. Does it need a curved channel or a flat one? If it needs a flat channel, can I glue fretboard directly over the neck without using a filler strip to cover the truss rod?
  14. Alchool
    Amazing work... I can't believe it's your first homemade guitar...
  15. Alchool
    Mm thanks guys!

    I'm drooling...

    Hi all, tomorrow I'm going to start working again on my guitar. I'm making a neck-through, and I've already made the wings (even if I'm going to do again the upper wing 'cause it came out bad ). So I was thinking... what if I make some bad routing on it? I'll have to do all the work again? Since I think that to prevent is better, I was wondering if I have to buy one of those ball bearing router bits that stewmac sells (I can't find it near where I live...), but is there another method to do all the routing stuff well (pick-ups, recessed floyd rose, controls) without the ball bearing attachment? As always, if my english sucks, it's not my fault
  18. Alchool
    Melvyn Hiscock's book shows the difference too.
  19. Alchool
    Nice looking guitar. Hope that the guitar I'm building (it's my first) will be as well as yours.
  20. Alchool
    I ended up in another way. Since the top of the wing was already planed flat, I carefully used the router freehand to remove much wood as possible near the edge line, not too deep. Then, using a ball bearing bit, I finished routing following the already routed part, and then removing imperfections with a rasp. Since it's the first time I work with wood, and I never used router, rasp and jig saw before, I'm quite satisfied with the result.
  21. Alchool
    Mmmm no, but I can make something like that. Thanks for the idea.

    Just cut one of the mahogany wings for my guitar (wich is gonna be a neck-through) with a jig saw. I cutted away from the line I marked (and it was good 'cause jig saw blade was always bending), and now I have to take off those wood around it. How can I keep the edges as square as possible?
  23. Alchool
    I agree with you all. He's always giving answers. And he's doing a nice work with Universal Jems too.
  24. Alchool
    Something like RG620X, it has just two humbuckers.

    As always, thank you
