  1. That is one classy photo Jehle. So you are beginning to run adds in Acoustic guitar, I wish the best in that endeavor.
  2. Well, the article says to rout out the top then fill with epoxy and press in the mirrors. Any epoxy should do it. Also, he then pured on poly in the joints and sanded smooth, so I would look for some sort of viscous purble poly finish.
  3. wow, talk about a small world, my family just moved to fuquay, also about 30 minutes from durham. crazy stuff.
  4. I'm in the same situation, except it is my trashy ukulele. Your method sounds very reasonable an I think I might just try it on that ting. THANKS
  5. WOW.... That is one of the most beutiful guitars I have seen in a long time. My buddy has a Ravelle, but I am not particularly partial to it. Yours on the other hand is awesome. Especially, the attention to the accents such as the layered binding and body layering. Just simply astounding. P.S. Your other trials are also stupendous.
  6. You might want to check out musicians friend, they have some economy minded stands, starting at about 8 dollars for a single and something along the lines of 13 for a triple guitar stand.
  7. I completely agree with SoundAt11. I have a '75 Baladeer custom that we got for about 250 on ebay and I love it. Only one problem right now, the top is slumping inwards. Hopefully that will be fixed by the humidifier I put in. But, it is my favorite guitar besides my cheap Yamaha acoustic.
  8. recursion, I would love a tutorial... it would be so helpful.
  9. they seem nice but this one http://www.guitarandpickup.com/index.php?l...ticle&Id=170817 seems alot like a leviathan for someone with way too many fingers, lol.
  10. Wow this sounds like it is gonna be an awesome guitar. By the way, your mock up from kiskae looks almoast exactly like my guitar in real life, thats why i like it so much. Keep it up!
  11. Hi, I think that inlaying wood into wood is called marquetry. A while back, in the prs private stock, they had a neat marqutry (usage??) of some guys playing baseball, but it was removed. If you search goole images for marquetry there is some amazing things, especially with dyed wood and shading etc. Good luck with your project.
  12. My Paul is mahogony with a bubinga cap, it does have less highs than i would want, but they are stil distinct and sound really nice. Also, i can get some pretty good walking bass stuff going on it too, sounds like what your looking for kinda. Also i have heard that limba is simaler to mahogony but i might be wrong.
  13. Hi scrappy, a member on this board makes set necks ready to glue in. I don't know what his name on the board is but his website is http://www.soulmateguitars.com/
  14. The thing that all of you are missing is that you are referencing acoustic guitars. Unless the poster started this topic in the wrong forum, then he was probably questioning about solidbody electrics. Using the acoustic examples is sort of weak, because as previously explained, the top is essentially the amplifer of an acoustic. Opposingly, i think wood will make a difference in solid bodies (but as previously stated) it will be very minute. Any way, please dont get mad at me, i think the way i wrote things may have came off cocky but it was really not meant to, in any way, offend anyone.
  15. I do not know if you read the post previously this week pertaining to veneers, But you should keep the glue to only what necessary especially on thin veneers. THe glues can soak through and creat problems wuth staining, if thats what youre going to do. Any way, it sounds like a cool project and i hope you get it under way and finished with out problems. Edit: Sorry, i just noticed that i started with a dependant clause. Hmm... maybe i understand my english lessons when im not in school.
  16. THanks you guys so much for the help. I have looked through the forum and the mian page but I have not found a site that explains wiring swithches in detail, i only got min from a site that showed how to wire but not why. i would like to be able to figure out how to wire my own switches, so if you have any sites that explain it or if you can that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for all the help.
  17. Hi sambo, I wanted a kill switch to silence the whole guitar, but now loking at it that wouldnt work. How could I wire an on/on for the coil tapping, I dont really understand switches? Also what would just a straight kill switch be?
  18. Thanks lovekraft, its all in the planning stages, but I want to get started so bad I've been figuring all this stuff out now. I am limited with the cash flow, being 16, I need money for car insurance and im not working enough hours to begin with. Not to mention I need to buy tools cause my dad is the exact opposite of a handiman. well sorry for the rant, I'm tired.
  19. Point well taken, I guess it does make sense since its in the muscle memory and all. Also I did not knw that Blea Flek played a midi banjo, that is realy realy cool.
  20. Hi, I am going to be putting a single coil and a humbucker into my project, and I just designed this schematic using guitarelectronics.com. It is supposed to have a 3 way toggle that selects either the single, the hum, or both (just like the standard Paul). But also I was thinking it might be nice to have the single coil tone but with hum canceling so I added the coil tap in there. First of all, does every thing check out, and also will it be humcanceling at all or would I have to change the phase on the tapped hum. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v725/sas...uitarwiring.jpg
  21. I only have one question, why would you want to do this when you could just buy a midi keyboard? Not to critisize, i guess it makes sense because you can already plaay the guitar, and not the keyboard though.
  22. Maiden, yep that just shows how ignorant I am. Thank you from saving me from ruining RGGR's project
