I love those spinsaws. sweet work I love it

its usually just in parts of a score not the whole piece, or in one movement. alot of classical violin has it.

I think it depends on the mandolin. I mean a well done f-style mandolin would probably get votes because the people here could recognize the work and craftmanship involved in making it.

some one should poll it. I think you should be able to enter any stringed instrument because the construction methods are similar.

nice. I like it

maybe all the other voters are waiting......to....um....evaluate all candidates......yes.....thats it....

well I wired it up for 18v and it sounded sweet. mind you this is in a solidbody mandolin not a guitar so I can't really tell how superior 18v is.

i've got a delta 12 1/2" planer and love it, mind you I have never used figured woods so... but my planer cut so smooth its amazing. a weel kept and used planer should require almost no sanding after planing

try the inlays and finishing chat area

kinda not what your talking about but kinda is. I have a dual screwish humbucker from a Quest Atak 1. it has twelve kinda polepeice screw combos, they're basically a threaded cylender with a spot to shove an allan key in the top. hope that helps somewhat

so on the emg site it says that while the emg actives work with one nine volt they work better with 2 wired togetherin series for 18v I was wondering how much of a difference it makes?

ok what if you used a switch that whenever it was triggered just switched from one LED to another or "randomly" activated diffrent colored LED's for as long as the switch is activated then you wouldn't have to worry about pulley and rack and pinions or gears just 1 magnetic switch (I forget their exact name) so when you move the trem the switch picks it up and activates the circut. only thing s you'd need a timer circut or you could just have it go from one to another hmmm that probably made no sense at all

The nice thing about the gear method is you could make it so that it blends colors as the pitch changes, it wouldn't just be a different color whenever you were using it.

you could do that with the reed (magnetic) switch if you used a chip to put it on a timer circut or something of the like

just slowly rout the knot out using a plunge router. just take your time and don't go very deep on each pass

thats just a tweleve string solidbody mandolin isn't it? just find mandolin strings and buy them but buy 2 packs thats what I'd do either that or find and buy sets of 12 string mandolin strings. mandolin scale length is 13". just tune it to EEAADDGGBBEE like a twelve string but an octave higher. I belive gibson makes a six string mando guitar thats 13" scale but I don't know what they use for strings

let me get this straight. what you want is a mando guitar. one neck guitar but an octave higher at regular guitar scale and 12 string? and the other neck is a regular 8 string mandolin neck? mandolin necks do not always have truss rods. you can buy a mandolin truss rod from stew mac or build one buy taking a steel rod threading one end and bending the other down as an achor. standardish mandolin scale is 13". not sure what else your getting at though

depends, if you have pickguard type mounting jusst take it out when it dies, or rear rout almost all the way through the body then mount the pickup under a lip so when/if it dies you just have an extra cavity cover on the back to take off

ok what if you used a switch that whenever it was triggered just switched from one LED to another or "randomly" activated diffrent colored LED's for as long as the switch is activated then you wouldn't have to worry about pulley and rack and pinions or gears just 1 magnetic switch (I forget their exact name) so when you move the trem the switch picks it up and activates the circut. only thing s you'd need a timer circut or you could just have it go from one to another hmmm that probably made no sense at all

I'm curious as to why he has the headstock cut out but no neck? won't that make it a bit difficult to make the neck? or is the headstock cut out just for fun?

I like mandolins!

a good mandolin site is mandolincafe and they have a forum with alot of really skilled people on it. otherwise get the siminoff book its great. I'm currently building a solidbody mandolin.

I'm just thinking out loud here but for the trem activated lights couldn't you just put a switch in the trem cavity so when you move the trem it hits the switch and engages a circut of changing LED's for the duration the switch is pushed down?

or if its a floating trem some kind of magnetic switch?

I just had an Idea for the top markers of a neck. what if you used those blinkers? the ones people put in their bellybuttons or ears with a magnet on the back and another magnet so you can stick them on your shirt or anywhere. the ones that have a bunch of colors and are for dances and stuff. if you take the back off then cut the batteryholder and wire them in it would look sweet.

I hope that made sense

what year? american or mexican? original or modded?

on kristal is there any way to change what you edit/mix into an MP3? or other more normal file?
