    I have a REALLY nasty rasp (none of the tools I have I bought, they here inhearated) that looks like it could take someones face off with a single swipe. Will this be too arressive to use on a cocobolo (very hard) neck?

    thanks a lot blues. You still think it looks like a godin? darn I wanted it to look like nothing out there(I was trying to be unique ) Which is prety hard these days considering thers like a million guitar styles out there. Trust me it is nothing like my godin (which I love by the way ) It is really big auccually(it is as big as my takamine small bodied acoustic)

    hey fender, Sorry I should have specified, the tearout is about 1/2 a millimeter deep (so barley there, the pic makes it look HUGE) I probally will just sand it out. Also the placement, It is on the upper horn, right where the strap button would go. And when I routed it out I did a template follower bit from the top and a laminate trim bit from the table coming up from the bottom and did a little bit at a time.
  9. Daniel Sorbera
    you got any truss rods or any wood?
  10. Daniel Sorbera
    well I paid $116 for it, It is (very high grade) real hondurous mahogany (one peice) It's very rare to get 1 peice bodies out of it. It's also bigger than normal, It is 15" by 21", It's gonna be a bigger than normal guitar. The planing and sanding costed $20 and after tax it came out to $160, So ya I did. WEll I was going to rout out the center today to make it hollow, BUT a cold front came in last night and it's 20 out Yesterday it was 72, This is the first cold day of the season. If i go out side my hands turn numb(and yo ucant work a router with numb hands )

    I finally cut out and sanded the body. Here it is right after it went through my band saw... after band saw And here it is after it is sanded to the correct dimentions... after sanding The only problem I had was a little bit of tearout with the router tearout Anyone know how to fix this? What yall think of my body shape? I drew this up in pohto shop. Thats how I want it to look after i'm done. Just in case your wondering the "grass" looking things are the f-holes, and the name on the headstock is my last name. I am going to use seymour duncan Alnico II pro humbuckers with gold covers. The next step will be routing out the middle to make it a hollowbody. please help me with the tearout
  12. Daniel Sorbera

  13. Daniel Sorbera
    ya I have a multi also. AND HATE IT. I am saving up for a peavey classic 30. I'm just saying that if I diddnt buy It I would be $200 bucks closer to getting that peavey{sigh} at the rate i'm going i'll never get that classic 30

    man And I thought that I had some crappy equipment. I have a 14" band saw 2 routers, a table saw, a drill press, a scroll saw, jointer, planer, lathe, just about every power hand tool you can imagine, and a whole building full of small tools. It was all inherated after my grandfather died.

    I dont really know how to do it but when I devised a good "easy" way to do binding. You cut it too big and than just trim it down once it's in. This is possiable for me cuse I use wood binding.
  17. Daniel Sorbera
    pee-AY-zo is correct. No matter how much you want it to be pee-zo (which is how I say it sometimes) IT is still WRONG, pee-AY-zo is the correct way...

    hey I have a x-vamp and would like to do the same. Right now i'm running it through an acoustic combo and after fiddeling a LONG time I finally found a spot I like. I would love to do the same thing you did. So all you have to do is order the amp you linked to, plug your vamp into it, and put it's outputs into speakers? Is it that simple or am I missing something?
  19. Daniel Sorbera
    this sucks, I just went out to cut out the body and found that my blade on the bansaw is too thick, I cant make teh turns, so I just stoped Now I have to go and get a new bandsaw blade before I can continue... Luckally I diddnt screw up my $160 dollar peice of wood
  20. Daniel Sorbera
    neither(but that wasent a choice) I wouldent tell anyone to get a modeling thingy. All tube is the way to go!
  21. Daniel Sorbera
    ya I got a prety light touch, I turn up my amp real loud any barley play. And like I said, It's all done by person to person. Most people who play my guitar make it buzz...
  22. Daniel Sorbera
    ok now I understand, Generally a guitarist wants his/her action as low as it can be without buzzing. So a rythem player will want it a little higher, and a lead player would want it as low as humanly possiable because it makes you faster. FYI it's always to review your post and read it through to make sure you got your point across, use right wording Etc. Etc. Etc.

    what do you mean by that? "intonation" refers to how well your guitar is in tune when you press down on a fret. bad intonaton= even if your string is in tune when you press down on a fret it's sharp or flat. good intonation= when your string is in tune and you press down anywhere on the neck that note is perfectly in tune. See how to make your guitar play "in tune" here

    sounds like it would work only if you have a REALLY good resparator on, and dont paint anything too toxic. Fumes would be a problem and they would linger for a long time unless you had a very efficent fan...

    carveing is IMO an ausome thing to do to a guitar. Provided your comfterable doing it...
