    Ive own a guitarport, it was good for gettin into computer based recording but i have now got a TonePort UX2 and the Ableton Live software that comes with that is far far superior to rifftracker, the basic guitar modeling part, however, is unchanged.

    Nice!! Love Rg's, Love rosewood. This is just awesome. Some good clean work you have there. I used an angle grinder with a sanding disk to carve my LP top and neck, i thought it was pretty easy to do, plenty of control. Keep the pics coming!

    Suhweet! youd realy do that? Tell them just to pop in to halfords on the way, and just ask for graeme at the bikehut desk i'll pay ya for what you dont use, seems fair... Oh yes, my RG is gona look great! You say a vacuum bag would be the best thing to use? I have one at my old school along with almost every other tool used for casting and forming. Do you know any good sites off hand that would be of help?

    coool! i have a severe fetish for carbon fiber at the moment. Carbon bike parts yum :D I think i will get some carbon control cav covers soon. But a carbon covered neck! that is waaaaaaaay too cool!

    You realy need to take offthe old board (theres a tut for that on the main site) and then fit a new 22 fret board. Way more hassle than its worth. Id say just buy another strat with a 22 fret neck, costly, but then you do have one more guitar and thats a good thing right.

    Nice guitar!! Loving the choice of woods here, itl sound awesome for sure!

    Inlay them then use acrylic sheets over the top not unlike the pyramid JEM inlays. Thats how i would go about it anyway.

    Experiment on hold, B&Q didnt have any nor did Homebase. I have to go to inverness tomoro befor work so i'll have a look there.

    maby between 1 3/4 and 2 inches? that seem to be reasonable maby even 2 1/4 if your going for THICK body. On my LP build i went for the oposite of you, realy thin body and a deep carve. funny that. Good luck with it anyways!

    Yehp but even if you get a realy tite glue joint (same as normal) because the glue is dark you will have a very very fine line that is more visible than the same joint with normal titebond. i'll get some of this stuff tomoro and do my own tests.

    I think that it could be pretty cool actualy, nice little accent lines between laminates. Say on a 3 pc maple neck it could look realy good. Try it out quick!! i want to see it!!

    rule off thumb is to try and keep the strig path as straigt as possible.
  16. Marzocchi705
    You dont need to angle it. all you need to do is make a shim for the neck pocket to rais the neck that extra few mm up, that way your bridge should be able to adjust properly. Slighly less extreme than resessing your bridge and alot easyer. Use maple or something simelar to make your shims.
  17. Marzocchi705
    I also have that bridge, good for the money, cant realy go wrong.

    wait for a week or too, give the paint time to cure, then sand it off. Or you could use a scraper. Either is gona take time to get to flat surface. The worst thing you can do here is rush.

    I feel old now, i can remember seeing the batch of tele's way back. Looking forward to seeing the pics!
  20. Marzocchi705
    Oh i was just watching one of the old star trek movies on channel 4, and i did the Vulcan thing too... so it apears i can still do it after maby years, i think i could do it when i was 4 or 5 tho....

    On my paul that im building at the moment i have opted for a heelless design using a deep neck tennon, worked a treat. (click to enlarge)
  22. Marzocchi705
    That is some of the best graphic work i have seen. its very nice, the colours are great. The whole skull has a sense of depth to it, that is a skill in it self, good work. Be sure to take progress pics of the final peice of work.
  23. Marzocchi705
    Should think that would work pretty well. Take pics if ya do it! And i know its been said 10000000000 times befor but practice first to see how the material reacts.
  24. Marzocchi705
    That is SERIOUSLY cool! nice work on the carve!
  25. Marzocchi705
    That is far too cool! Awesome effort for a first guitar! I trust theres a second and a third on the way? Keep it up!
