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...

I thought about it again and I have to admit it is quite an achievement to do that bad inlays via CNC....

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.

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.

hmmm i squeeze pretty hard, but i also use LOTS of glue, hopefully i'm withing that balance... i've tested scraps from cut out body blanks, by bashing the wood a corner.... when it finaly cracked, it was more wood then glue joint that broke... so i'm happy, and i try to do these tests as much as possible

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...

Do you always use grain filler or is that only for an opaque finish.

Would I use clear?

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...

From B.C. Rich custom shop.

One of Kirks guitars has a hard maple body. I've been wanting to build one for a while to see how it sounds. I don't think it's the KH-2 though (I think that one is Alder?). If you go with one of Kirk's, are you going to do the skull and crossbones inlay? The skulls are pretty easy but the crossbones are very, very difficult.

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.

If it sounds bad at low volumes also then you've either got a bad pickup or just incorrect/faulty wiring. Did you replace a pickup and this started happening or did it come with the guitar?

It's since I replaced it.

I'm thinking maybe it's the wiring.

Gotta check something better.

i voted the way i did because i would never choose to be with a woman who would be jealous of my guitar...but i love my woman more than my guitars...but i would never give up playing my guitars for a woman who would ask me too.

He's the man.

I voted guitar for the same twisted and perverse reason.

microphonic

could repot the pickups (check the main site for a tut)

how did you get anything from my last post??

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.
