    It's an option on the carvins but not standard.

    It's Australian Pine and it's used in entry level (read Cheap) guitars and sounds kinda dead. There are some nice pictures of some at Gilmers Wood Products if ya care to check it out. Gilmers Agathis Page

    If any of your friends play a strat, ask one of em if you can trace around it, then trace that onto a piece of particle board from Home Depot and away ya go.

    Recessing the tuneomatic like a Jem Trem! It involves a little routing but looks really cool after it's done. Do you have a tailpiece on it already? I want to do this on a future project and just drill the string holes thru the body with no tailpiece.

    Yeah, That sounds Great Skibum. Maybe a link to Melvyn Hiscock's Building your own electric guitar book for those that are new to the forum and building in general. Melvyn really should give out a LARGE grain of salt when selling his book though, cuz most of it applies to the way he builds and it's different for everyone as you know.

    Most folks that refinish a Maple neck and board will just leave it Maple and clear coat it with the frets in place and when finished just scrape the frets as the finish will shy away from them a little bit making it easy to scrape em. At Fender way back in the day, the finishers would have their own personal way of scraping frets. It was said that 1 finisher had a hollowed out nail to scrape the clear off. Use a nut file for the .040 and file a groove in the tip of a nail and try it for yourself and see if it suits you.

    I just did a search of the forum and only found 1 entry is all, and thought maybe some of you folks may have missed it. The first time, I spent way too much time on there.

    Some of you may not have seen this in another thread so I figured I'd post it here in case you haven't. You can start with a famous guitar style and design it to your hearts content. Kisekae Guitars

    The neck Blade is a Seymour Scorcher, The Bridge is a Steve's Special, because of it's cut back midrange, I Like It Alot. At least that's the plan for the Jagenstein.

    The devil's in the details isn't he. I love the D slot on the headstock of the Walnut LP dude! I think every Guitar should have one since, whenever you play out if ya forget your stand ya can always hang it anywhere ya bloody want, eh?

    I'm gonna put a blade style pickup in the neck postion and have a mini toggle to throw if I wanna get that vintage single coil sound, then a Steve's Special at the bridge postion about 2 inches from the bridge to get that warm-ish sound that comes from that sweet spot right there. Mine is quite similar to yours:P and I've routed it universal so I can add any style pickups I want either now or in the future should I change me mind.

    You could always block the trem as mentioned above but have you thought about adding more springs and tightening the claw the whole way up, essentially keeping it in the state of lockdown. If you have 3 springs in there now add all 5 to the claw and at least try it, what's the worst that could happen?

    I normally don't care for Jaguars but I decided to modfy 3 of my favorite styles and came up with this. The lower horn is Veilette, The top Horn is Talman and the lower half is just kinda swoopy like I like. The Neck joint is based on an Ibo and I also wanted to make the universal pickup cavity so at a later date if I changed my mind It would be easier to change over pickups. That's another reason I bought so much pickguard material. Thanx, I hope it turns out like I envision it to.

    Every Time I say hello to you I feel Like I'm Talking to myself. Perry, Nice to Meet Ya. I really admire your work. The Pickguard Material Hitone asked about is from Warmoth Guitar Parts. they do Have an Awesome collection of blanks but are a little on the pricey side. 25 USD a piece.

    Thank ya Folks, I changed me mind on the Jag style quite a few times and finally settled on this design as it was the most visually attractive to me. The Neck joint was alot of fun to do and it has suprisingly low action from the first setup. Control cavity gets cut next with the finish to come after that. I decided to order a control cavity jig from Stew-Mac so it'll be a standardized size that'll be easy to duplicate in the future and easy to find a pre cut cover for. I'm planning on carving the top at the pencil lines but haven't actually figured out how yet. I think it'll have a great look. Again, Thanx.
