    The piece I was going to bid on this piece, and when I got back to it there was literally 1 second left on bidding. F*CK!! It's so nice. does anyone know where I can get a piece like this anywhere else?

    those guitars are nice!

    I'm pretty sure it's done by just routing out a channel wide enough for the strip and then setting it in.

    This might sound confusing, but why don't you put a stereo input jack wired to an on/on DPDT switch, so that when you click it just changes them from Magnetic to Piezo. When the magnetic, for example, is selected have the piezo going to ground on a mono output jack, and vice versa. Should work fine. It's pretty much an A/B box without two in/outputs.

    Is there any grounding on those switches?

    If your volume pot wasn't grounded you would always have a constant volume, no matter where the knob was. when you turn the volume knob, it shunts more or less of the signal to ground which gives you the differences in volume.

    Tone pots don't matter so much as to what the rating is. All it does is shunt the treble frequencies to ground acording to how far the pot is turned. Don't get me wrong, it will make a difference, but not a whole lot.

    I think it could work if you had room to move the bridge to match the appropriate scale length, and then route pickup cavities. It would be a lot of work and planning, but it COULD, in theory, be done.

    With an 8-string bass, I'd have like 3 truss rods.

    Maple gives you anything but a warm, vintage sounding guitar. Mahogany would be a good choice to get that sound your looking for, but as GregP said, I havent seen many Mahogany strats around. But don't let that limit your choices, build a mahogany strat and let us know how it turns out!

    Although it has nothnig to do with the fret buzz, you might not have put in the appropriate neck angle.

    Scale Length Calculator Just type in the number of frets you want and the scale length you want and you've got the spacing for every fret.

    I've found my problem! Whenever I play it's in front of this very screen so that's probably why it humms or buzzes or does whatever it does. Solution through mistake!

    You need grain filler on most every guitar, unless you don't plan on finishing it or it was already filled by Warmoth. E-mail Warmoth and ask them what they do to the bodies before they ship and go from there.

    The laminate is a black fiber. It's from LMI.

    I always found humbuckers to buzz or hiss a bitmore than single coils.
  18. thomasteven
    If your old pickups were not humbuckers, they probably weren't as "hot" which means there is a lot less buzz or static noise, this isn't always true though. Humbuckers tend to be a higher output, or "hotter" than single coil, so they naturally tend to buzz a bit more. But like everyone else said, check your grounding and make sure that they all lead to a common ground point.(you need to ground your pickups, pots, switches and your jack)

    No, that wasn't me, I decided not to buy it after because it was kiln dried, and I don't really trust anyone on eBay with stuff like that. I'd prefer to have mother nature do her work!

    Westheman is right. There is a front and a back of a nut. The back usuaully has a bit of an angle where the string comes out. I'd say the easiest option would be to buy a new lefty nut.

    Maiden, I was going to buy that piece!!

    I was planning on having a fingerboard with bindings on each side made with Ivoroid(.05)/Black(.02)/Ivoroid(.02) and was wondering if the 90/1000" is wide for a fingerboard binding?

    I also agree with these statements, in the last 2-3 weeks since I've signed up I've learned so much about practically everything. I just ordered the neck for my first guitar.
