It would be bad. How bad?

that is true and the reason why i asked is because originally i was going to make casing for another capacitor that looks like a bumblebee cap... but after some research i think i would like to make one.. to foil1more: if you roll 2 pieces of paper and 2 pieces of foil that are both 22 inches long and layer it paper/foil/paper/foil and roll it tight as you can. you can get a capacitance of .05uf. it also depends on how thick the paper and foil are...

lol i chuckled thanks for the laugh!

Can someone post the length x width of a bumblebee cap? I am trying to reproduce it for my guitar...

i been searching for one but i couldn't find it! i even went on gibson site and searched for it, nothing! But, i did find an Es335 schematic...which instead of being 500k pots for Volume. it is 300k... which i did not know! ok, to the point, does anyone one have an schematic for a Es330 or a Casino? I appreciate you guys for any kind of info

YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT?? I ASKED HIM AND HE COULDN'T EXPLAIN. treble bleed circuit? maybe?

ah do you have a picture of your set up? i just cant picture it in my head... i am one of those learners that is visual

can i post a work in progress first guitar?? i all of it by hand... i am proud that i did by hand but also not proud for my rookie mistakes but i have learned a lot i was trying for this guitar:

Ah, i googled what you told me to google and i found this: http://soundsalon.com/2007/02/05/make-a-ho...e-bending-iron/ but what confuses me is how to wire it up what type of dimmer did you use? and what was the wattage? how does your guitar sound? i just juggled the idea of a flat top ES 335 since this will be my first venture into making archtops. do you have pictures of the building process? sorry for the bombardment of questions and thank you john and erick for your reply : D

ok, I am about to finish up my very first solid body guitar and etc.. that doesnt matter lol what matters: is that i have begun thinking about my next project and i always wanted a Casino or Es335 or 330. My questions are really about building it. my first question is about the top wood... could pine be used for the top? second, do you guys have any advice or any info on how to carve the top? and what type of tools do you need? i could use a small plane but do i have to use a plane that is bullnose?? third, i dont have a lot of money (college student and also planning a wedding) is there anyway i can macgyver a wood bender? four, plans.. i just downloaded the plans from guitarbuild site i think that's how it's called... the plans were made from a poster here... i lurked.. is there anymore free Es335 plans? to cross reference? I have lurked and some of the questions i have asked have been answered but i want to make sure. thank you and appreciate for your guys taking time to help me out oh and ill leave you with a pretty picture of the fine ass casino that have inspired me since i was 14 and which at this moment made me realize i am getting old... grr http://content.clearchannel.com/Photos/mus...pol_live_GI.jpg

you can always make your own guitar case lol

thanks guys! yea i was thinking about going bubinga... i want that rickenbacker look to the fretboard... i think i should visit their factory it's just down the street! oh, the guitar im currently planning to build is inspired by those kooky airline guitars... i the JB Hutto Montgomery Airline one

which one to choose to become my fretboard?

now... im really interested in making a guitar out of purple heart... but i haven't got any opinions or info on its being a tonewood.. but since its dense i believe its sounds like maple but brigther? and tone wish what im aiming for is a blues sound from those airline guitars plus purple heart cost like 3.50 per BF in my area
