  1. I was wondering if any of you had a super easy diagram of a preamp/EQ that I could make myself. I have seen some schematics but I thought one of you may have something less complicated, for a beginner. Thanks
  2. has anyone ever chisled out a neck pocket? I could really use your help, I do not know where to start. Should I clamp the neck on my body and trace then remove and then start chiseling inside the lines or what. I have chisels but no router.I need help from start to finish PLEASE!!!!
  3. I was at Brook Mays in Arlington Texas today and I saw a flat top no neck angle no raised fretboard "high end" Ibanez. This guitar had a TOM style bridge on studs, I think it may have had rollers, and it was partially covered. Has anyone ever seen this type of bridge? Does anyone know where I can get one like it? Tommy
  4. I have for sale or trade a 4" Delta Millwaukee planer/jointer for sale or trade. It is on a stand with a brand new baldor motor. This planer is fairly old but is in excellent condition with sharp blades. The guard is missing, I am asking $150. I am near Palestine Texas, please e-mail or PM if interested. Tommy
  5. Thanks Ed, I understand how that works, what I am curious about is how intonation on a good acoustic is usually near perfect without an adjustable bridge. I was curious how it is achieved, it is like it is "set" before the bridge is glued.
  6. I have considered building a solid body with an acoustic bridge with piezo and EQ. How do acoustic guitar builders locate the bridge location/intonation since acoustic guitar bridges are not intonation adjustable? Thanks Tommy
  7. Hello, I have almost finished my guitar project and I am considering building a bass ( I know very little about them). I have been shopping around for parts but I am unable to locate a truss rod for one. Do they exist? Tommy
  8. Possibly the tremelo springs are shot? Tommy
  9. I am building a flat solidbody neck thru without a neck angle, it is totally flat like a strat. Can I use a tune o matic bridge if so could someone give me an ALLPARTS part # for me to reference. Thanks Tommy
  10. I am working on my first guitar. It is a neck thru and I used oak. I have rough shaped the neck and I am going into town tonight to get some ties to help with the gluing of the fingerboard. I have test stained a few pieces of oak and have realized that I am going to need a grain filler because the oak is so porus. I have not decided on an oil,wax or poly finish, but I wanted to see if any of you ever used a filler before. the neck is 7/8" oak with a piece of 7/8"maple laminated on the back of the body area where the "wings" will go. I have not decided on the species for the wings yet, but whatever finish I do use will show the grain of the wood. My fingerboard is rosewood w/ a double action trussrod. Doing some research has revealed that oak necks produce a very bright tone. I wanted a throaty tone any suggestions for the pickups? Tommy
  11. Does the #of ohms in a hb decide what position it goes in? I have never been able to figure it out, I have seen them listed differently like on Ebay. What # of ohms do I want for a neck pu and can I get one that splits also for differing tones? If I put a piezo in the bridge dont need some type of EQ? Tommy
  12. Hello, I play alot of chords/strumming, I have a cheap guitar with a bridge pickup that sounds awfull playing anything but lead. I am building a guitar from scratch and I am wanting to know where to mount and what type of pickup for strumming/chords. Thanks Tommy
