  1. I got to cleaning one of my guitars, one with a rosewood board, the other night, and I found that my dad had some linseed oil laying around. Suffice to say that it looks beautiful and plays very smoothly now!

    Now, I need to clean my guitar the has a maple board. It's an old RG550, and I think it's supposed to have a finish on the neck and board, but it looks to be sanded off, except maybe a thin line along the edges of each fret. My question is, is linseed oil appropriate for a maple board also? And if it is, will anything goofy happen because of the small amounts of finish remaining?

    Thanks guys.

  2. As he said before, there really should be no problem. You might want to look at locking tuners to go with your setup, I have heard good things about carvins with the same stuff (Wilkinson, Graphtech nut, and Locking Tuners - I can't remember what brand carvin uses but you could look on their site to see). I can remember some people who used floyds with locking tuners and graphtechs and their complaint was that the nut wore too fast, though it stayed in tune very well.

  3. pickups:  a tom anderson 7-string single coil in the neck that i scored used for $10, and a dimarzio humbucker at the bridge -- probably a Tone Zone 7, depending on what i have lying around. 

    bridge:  Lo Pro Edge 7 trem. 

    electronics:  one of my rediculous 24-pole superswitch coil cut schemes that has a push/pull pot to switch the guitar into a single coil mode.  i'll have to simplify things with only two pickups. 

  4. I love the look of the first one with the small lower horn, and it would be my first choice. I messed around with that picture and came up with this, I only changed the top horn - it lines up with the curve on the bottom one, and it also is a little different on the end, more like the bottom one. I kinda like this:
