The shop also has stuff like Cherry, Walnut and Red Cheddar to try out.

I've never been able to find RED cheddar just aged yellow....

dunno how this will take a finish tho'..... (sounds like a bit of a salad to me..... cherry, walnut & cheddar!)

oh sorry - you meant CEDAR...

ive heard them and i got the mag, the clips aint earth shattering but the review is great so, i got no complaints !

yea, i tried that tiny terror once, it was horrible, im getting one of those blackstar HT-5 stacks this week - much more like it

4 pages !

pretty cool review and a "Guitarist Choice" award... im pretty pleased for my "first time!"

see - thats what i'm talking about..... Blackstar = , Tiny Terror = - that amp was never gonna show your guitars at their full potential. my point was they gave them the review that they deserved & described the sound - but then they did the THOSE soundbites from which you can't HEAR what they're talking about - kinda contradictory to me.....

and you only bought ONE mag? I'd have bought one to put away in a glass case never again to be touched by human hands, one to read, one each for ALL of my family, one each for ALL of my friends, one each for the guitar's buyers (that would be a nice touch), one each for my children, one each for my potential grandchildren......... lol

well done all the same!!

the sound clips don't do the guitars justice!!! and I KNOW it's because of the AMP they've used (Orange Tiny Terror- this amp sounds like a bull farting thru a straw!!!) coz I've heard Jadens guitars in other contexts & they sound fantastic plus how far wrong can you go with the pickups that Mr Satriani uses? I'm sorry - but why use this amp? I mean most people that buy Jadens guitars are going to use a full stack!!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but Jaden - you need to kick their ar*ses at Guitarist mag!!!!

now if they'd used that Peavey Vyper that they've reviewed - then we'd be talkin'!!!!

He's following my posts and leaving passively derogatory comments because I suggested that sustainer people get along. *shrug* Whatever floats your boat I guess.

Nice guitar btw!

omg - online stalker !!!!!

my only gripe..... the 7th & 8th tuners could have been a smidgen further north.... just a minor gripe tho' (imho) :notworthy

me too.... kind of like "tiger-eye" on steroids !!!

it's orange - but without looking like Dale Winton or David Dickinson (or George Hamilton for US members!) - google them

i'd always use a truss rod - no matter what wood used..... you can't adjust the neck for humidity/temperature/string gauge without one....

if you went up in a light aircraft without a parachute & the engine failed..... - i'd rather have one & not need it than need it & not have one.

well dang!!! if it's good enough fer Marty Friedman it's good enough for me!!!

looks like a tw*t to re-fret tho'!!!!

I can just see the questions now....

"Is plastic a good 'tonewood'?"

"How do different plastics affect tone?"

"How do I adjust the truss-rod-thingy?"

"I'd like to rout it for a Floyd Rose - is this possible?"

don't worry...jus'me being pedantic.... thru' me fer a sec tho'

lovely piece of 'bolo u got there!!

May 4th!!????!! f*ck I've missed the KISS gig i was going to on MAY 2nd...... I thought it was only April!!!!

i thought you were building a guitar not an aeroplane ?

found this he uses a chemical etch seems pretty easy in his little tutorial. i think a lot of it depends on what you have on hand i though of a sand blaster because i have one i can use when i need to. but the chemical thing would be easier if you dont have access to a blaster.

like i said - easy peasy

Yep going for a bit of a retro look, so no swoosh, when did the swoosh appear?

1985 I believe. 1985 Catalog

i have this catalog!!

another variable that no-one has mentioned is how the magnetic pull of the pickups can affect the frequency at which the string vibrates.... let's see somebody factor that in too.... lol

i'd say that if it's a metal top most probably it's a chemical etch. think about the theory of Printed Circuit Board etching and you may be along the right lines.

it goes like this....

spray/dip a photosensitive coating on top of the metal.

add a "mask" /reticle over the top

expose to UV light

remove the exposed photosensitive coating in a chemical bath

etch the metal back in another chemical bath

expose the rest of the photosensive coating to UV

remove the remainder of the photosensitive material in a chemical bath

easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy!

if anyone says that you can't get the detail.... I used to work in the Semiconductor industry & we were etching tracks to 0.25μm (yes 0.25 MICRON) - I believe the industry can now hit below 0.15μm ( a human hair is about 50μm in diameter)

Yay!!! KISS - gonna see'em 2nd May !!! - that's what gave the inspiration for my forthcoming Iceman build - just gotta get this damn strat finished 1st...lol

in my opinion it may be detrimental as the CF can flex a little but if it's filled it may "rupture" the tube

awesome tune. Just listening to more of their stuff on myspace. Me likey a lot.

+1 now a myspace friend of Asylum-Guitars

So great to see someone using veneer and to such a beautiful effect, I plan to do a veneer project soon, this guitar has certainly geed me, it looks awesome, and the grass is green again.

beatcha!!!! http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.ph...st&p=458386

awesome logo

+1 - just a shame you didn't add the swoosh too...

As said above.

Simples!

Buter

Unless you live in the UK you probably won't understand this....

so this'll probably help....

no this is considered 24.75" scale ie Gibson

25" scale is erm....25"

having a play with this again.

i have a few issues to sort out, bridge is slightly off towards the bass side which i can sort quickly... the other problem is the nut width, which i have decided i want to take in a bit now i have actually managed to try different string spacings. not decided whether to start fresh or carry on working on this one, it was only a test originally

What i have shown so far is that it can take the string tension tuned to E at 14 1/4" scale - feels rather nice, although obviously cramped

the good news is it sounds really, really good which is why i am contemplating finishing off the test version.

lol this SG MIGHT look just the right size for Angus Young!!!!

nice finish Luis!!
