Hello Andy,

Im not sure but here's a pic of Rusty Cooley's 9 string and 8 string guitars. (this are the best headstock pics I could get)

ok guys I tried to post the pics here but I couldn't so here is the link:

Rusty Cooley's Gear

ok now, these necks looks pretty thin though...

Cheers!,

Ivan

try Spikes site:

hope this helps.

Hello and welcome,

I have a Floyd Rose II with a D-TUNA, my experience:

Ok I have NEVER used it in almost 2 years, why, I use the bar a LOT! with the D-TUNA the guitar tends to detune unless you block the trem...and I dont want to block it ya know...flubbers, pulls, dives...etc..(all that fun stuff! ), so yes you will have to block your trem if you decide to purshase it...if you are like me and dont want to block it... dont use it, unless you want to have tuning problems...I dont really play 6th down to D or C, I wanted just to try...the D-TUNE would be real good for a non-trem guitar, my 2 cents man, hope this helped.

Ivan

Hello,

Im still a newbie for all this stuff, I still getting info about everything, your pictorial is awesome! really man, I appreciate the time you spent doing it. I have 1 final exam to go, next week I will print the Double Neck King V sketch from Spikes website and make some little adjusments...verify scale...draw cavities and all that stuff, then I will make the wood template, after that (a few months have been past) and I will begin to make the body, I also need to get some tools, so probably Ill PM you later for advices.

Thanks,

Ivan

Thanks in advance.

I gave up on spokeshave's long ago.. It's fun if your only building a couple guitars, but without constant checking with contour guages you won't know your progress. Have you considered building a copy carver? You can find out everything you need to know about it at http://www.copycarver.com ... I can do the back of a neck with the device in minutes. Also once you have a neck build to your liking, you can duplicate them over and over with great accuracy. The setup is the only time consuming part, once you've got neck you want to copy aligned you can really knock some necks out fast..

Good luck.

this is off topic sorry, but...thanks GuitarFrenzy for the Making Of A Strat Pictorial...not that I want to make a strat, but it was really helpfull for 1000000000% noobies like me! Thanks a lot man!

Ivan

Well dude, it depends on how much you use your floyd etc...Ive used Jacksons FRII, Kramer FRII and Jacksons FRII JT 500 which is Jacksons version of the Ibanez Low Recessed bridge...I like them all never had a problem with any...ofcoarse JT500 is for serious dives and pulls! is just a matter of taste I think..

Ummm... that's just a picture of a butt on a guitar.

I had always thought the lower part of the Strat looked like a woman's hips, hence the placement of the graphic on my version. Meanwhile, the horns where supposed to have the same effect as the straps on the teddy. That way the body looks more like... well... a body.

D~s

yeah I know...I just found this looking for some double neck guitar pictures and decided to post it...is not exactly your idea...but still around it...nice butt there!!! lol j/k!!!

Ive registered on the jcfonline forums three tiems and i never get my email from them.

same thing happened to me...I emailed the admin...still havent received an answer...

I've always wondered about a certain design...now I can finally try out my idea...

the Teddycaster!

(Oh yeah... this site is going to have a lot of traffic!)

...you can get this one for about $500 in www.jcguitars.com

I went on to design my new kelly and after cliking the kelly link it brought me the King V. Have any of you tried it yet?

It worked fine for me.

Hello guys, I found this pic, and wanted to share it...is the original template used for Mustaine's V or...W

Thanks ACSspike, but I will buy the necks...honestly I don't think I would be able to make necks...they seem to be quite hard...and I don't have the specific fret tools needed...I will only make the body and buy the necks...do you know of a good custom necks builder with quite fair prices?

I used to have a link for a tool like this but for Gibson guitars...cant find it now...but I now is out there some where...

Because I can get them print out in a plotter , I find them more confortable for me...thou is a HUGE page and needs a lot of space etc...is just a matter of taste I guess.

Thanks!

Yeah is a nice toy indeed!

ACSpike,

Is there a way to see the plan as 1 HUGE page, instead of 4, 6, 8 pages?

Thanks,

Ivan

Hey,

If you get a paper drawing with some basic dimesions on it I can make a CAD drawing of it.  Let me know

Thanks for the offer man, I'll get some "Plotter" paper (huge paper!) also I will print ACS Spike, and let you know too when is ready, thanks! my gf is way busy with college and stuff...

Thanks!

Ivan

19 inches is what I got too.

here's a PDF

I'll draw it in 19" inches then, You are the ones who know! hehe, Ill make a foam body as suggested b4, if I can make the plan in autocad I will upload it...will take like a month, I will draw it in paper b4 I can get my girlfriend or someone else to pass it into auto cad...I can't stand all that stuff I'm more like a business guy (or at least thats what I studied! I'm on my MBA now...yeah out off topic, but I didnt made some formal presentation or anything hehe...anyway when I get it I'll share it with you guys. Thanks for all the help, I'll use ACSSpike's drawing as a big reference.

Thanks,

Ivan

I actually drew one of those this weekend. My drawing is based on the Abstract Double V but the body is probably a bit shorter than it is supposed to be. I based the height on the upper V before I noticed the picture was taken at an angle.
