I'm looking to buy a good but cheap overdrive pedal, as well as distortion pedal, mainly overdrive though. Anyone have an overdrive they're looking to get rid of? Thank You Lizard_King

How about those Eastons in the first picture? What's the plan for those?

Grizzly sells a few guitar items. I've been dealing with them for sometime now. Good quality, tools are of a very good quality as well. A local guy that owns a sawmill pointed me in their direction. Haven't been let down yet. Some prices might be a little steap or so it seems but the quality is excellant. Just my opinion.

Alright I've been working on it like non-stop lol. And I've found that it doesn't have to be the bridge pickup. I play a Tele style guitar custom built myself. I can pull the pinches off with the bridge pickup, but once I got to where I could do it fairly accurately I decided to try it with the neck pickup. It works, doesn't squell as much as the bridge but it can be done. You all probably already know that though lol. As far as amp goes, well I'm using a late 60's model Kustom 4 channel powered board. But I also have an original Fender '65 Twin Reverb (not a reproduction). Just wanted to thank everyone for all the information and help.

Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival...
Lizard_King replied to Southpa's topic in Players Corner
I watched that myself. Great show, would have loved to watch it live though. I bet that rocked. Some true legends at that show. -
I thought it looked like an old hand drill, maybe I'm wrong though

Changing String Gauges
Lizard_King replied to gilmourguy's topic in Acoustic and Hollowbody Guitar Chat
Hold up gymshoe....He never said that his teacher told him that the guitar wasn't set up for mediums. He stated that his teacher informed him that the lights were to heavy for bending. We stated our opinions that the custom lights were not to heavy for bending, and that some of us would rather play with mediums (or heavier strings). I don't honestly see where you get off calling our opinions "macho BS." Because we were saying that the heavier strings give a better sound. Granted it's an opinion, but that doesn't give you the right to come in here and bad mouth our opinions. And there you have it, they wouldn't work for him. It's strictly up to you on which strings you like, which thickness you like the best. But I'm saying that the custom lights are not to heavy to bend with, just like everyone else with the exception Hoser Rob. -
Doesn't look bad at all. I'm thinking of making one myself. Where did you come across those big slugs? Know of any website that sells magnets for pickups? Nice job by the way

Has anyone here ever seen walnut that looks like Madacasgar Rosewood? My soon to be father in law knows that I build guitars and came home this evening with a chunk of wood 2 inches thick, 14 inches wide, and 6 feet long that he says is walnut. Well it looks like rosewood, same grain pattern and color. It's some of the best looking walnut I have ever seen. He told me he got it from on of his friends that builds tables, and cabinets and stuff like that. Guess it's an early christmas present. Which I'm thankful for, but I'm thinking this must have cost him a ton. I'll get some pictures up as soon as possible. I just can't believe the looks of this wood though. Never seen walnut like it before. Has anyone here?

I heard that cherry actually has a warm tone to it. But then I was told it varies from piece to piece. I'm going to be making a guitar out of cherry here before to long. As soon as I get back on my feet again that is.
-
Actually Cherry is used tomake guitars all the time. Try this site bro http://www.rampartguitars.com/Tonewoods.htm Do a search on the site for cherry. I'm sure there's more info here. Here ya go here's another topic on it. http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.php?showtopic=12950 I wouldn't try oak though. But that's just my opinion.
-
That's what I was thinking. I'm glad other people agree with me. I just didn't want to sound like an a$$hole and come right out and say it.
-
okay were you using the sparkplug as bait or what? lol
-
I was taking all that into consideration. I didn't mean to sound like an a$$hole, I was just trying to figure out, what about it that doesn't look right. I can't pin point it just yet but I'm still trying. Why aren't you using this neck on your explorer? Just curious....Could be interesting with a baritone neck on it. I'm still not sure that that's maple. I would probably buy it but I'm busted right now. Me and my girlfriends apartment caught fire lastnight so we're stuck living with her parents until we get back on our feet.
-
I'm on vicodin but for some reason that neck just doesn't look right even though it's not done. Just something about it.....
-
Kinda looks like oak. I dunno just something about it that doesn't look right. Somethings not adding up for some reason. Maybe it's just me. Maybe ash?
-
Is it just me or does that neck look umm I dunno what word to use here.....wrong? Something doesn't look right about it for some reason. Even considering it's not finished, something still looks wrong. Anyone else think this?
-
Who's your favorite blues, blues rock guitarist(s) and what bands if any did they play with?Reasons? Thought this would be an interesting topic. Hope this is alright with everyone.
-
Nice job. I like it alot. Keep up the killer work. Did I mention I like it alot?
-
Thank you for the advice. I'll work on it a little bit and master it. You've both been very helpful.
-
Yeah it's that sound. Also in Breakaway by ZZ Top and many many other songs. But how can i get that sound? lol
-
It's a high squel and I'm not sure how to get it. I've heard it in alot of songs but can't seem to figure out how the players do it. Done by an effects pedal or what? Alot of gain or overdrive? Thanks in advance
-
There's also an Alnico II, Seymour Duncan uses them alot.
-
That thing is pretty small. But to each his own right? If you like it, then go for it. Personnally I wouldn't want my guitar being that small but that's just my opinion.
-
LMAO Definately not the only one. LOL That's just wrong
