  1. It seems like, if you do a lions claw you would be removing wood and all anyways, why not just make it fit tight now and do the whole lions claw later if you decide to?
  2. Thanks for the update! Can't wait to see your progress when you make it back again.
  3. I took my RG550 all apart a few weeks ago to put a new pickup in it, and I pulled the bridge to get the pickguard off. While I had it out, I just got a piece of black stick on felt, cut it to the shape of the bottom of the trem cavity, and stuck it in there. It looks LOADS nicer now, so if you do end up thinking that your route is too long you could do that and i think to most people the issue would all but go away.
  4. That guitar was made by the Ibanez LACS Endorsee Custom Shop, it is Rob Balducci's, and I have no idea why the route is so long...
  5. IMO the cuts all around it are much to dramatic, it looks almost like the pickup mount is hanging over the side - but it's your project, and you designed it for a reason, because it's what you liked. So that's what matters.
  6. I Love Your Guitar, Maiden! Got My Vote - the only thing that I "didn't" like was the lack of binding around the headstock, there is something about it not being there that I don't like seeing, but the rest of the guitar more than makes up for it.
  7. Congrats on your new position over there too!
  8. Try looking up the member by the name of 'burl.quilt' - here
  9. You ought to be able to do it without much problem at all, and I think that you will just need to adjust the height of the neck pickup to make the volumes of both pickups similar. If I remember correctly, a neck pickup is less sensitive to vibrations is all, because the string will move farther back and forth near the neck pickup than it will by the bridge...
  10. That inlays in that fretboard are actually screw heads (not real ones), it is from a JEM7DBK - PICS
  11. Just looking at the dimensions it seems like it ought to, I don't have any experience with the 3 holers though.
  12. That is just some of the new models, I'm pretty confident that the traditional esquires didn't. Just the bridge pickup and the tele outline.
  13. you can check out Symour Duncan Phat Cats which are a humbucker sized P90. There are some other companies that make something similar but I can't remember them right now.
  14. I loved the first one, not the second one as much.
  15. No, I'm sorry matt I don't think that they produce any Acrylics, he said that was just like a computer generated guitar and the shape is that of a Schecter Avenger.
  16. Yea, its a Schecter Avenger
  17. Happy Birthday! Thanks for providing all this for us!
  18. That's alright, I figured that you probably would, but I knew that someone would do it sooner or later and I might as well get it out there.
  19. I want to nominate Drak, because that guy is always on here it seems and he has a wealth of knowledge about building the things we are all here for.
  20. Happy Birthday!! Try to stay away from the deer this year.
  21. Yea they do, the P ones are the cheaper line and the Flys are more expensive
  22. Yea, as a guitar it looks like a sharper version of the Phil Collen Jackson Archtop http://www.jcfonline.com/gallery/jack-othe.../PCS0054_1a.jpg
  23. I think that Gibson usually starts their blocks on the first fret, so a ten piece set would probably be for 22 frets.
