RRVCustom

does the quick connect work w/ existing pots, etc?

my stepbrother has an orange strobe that he hacksawed from the top of an ODOT (Ohio Dept. of Transportation) salt truck. it's sitting on top of his dresser rite now. he rigged the thing to run on AC from the wall. God Bless America

wow, i didn't know jackson made a 3L3R headstock. definately goin with that. thatnks a ton!

matt, nice V. personally, i don't like the headstock (too much like Strat), but to each his own, right? the neck i ordered is a warmoth neck, so it's got the LP-style head. i'm gonna strip it (its got this trans blue paint as is) and try to cut it to look more like it belongs on the V. i'm going for one of the following headstock looks: Dean ML BC Rich Virgo BC Rich Beast any ideas? also, UPS.com says my package (hee hee) should be here by feb. 1st, so i better get movin. i'll put up pix as soon as the guitar is done, or the camera is developed, whichever comes first. guarentee its the camera.

wow guys, lovin this thread. definately gonna try some of these things. while we're on the dumpster diving topic, go to the local Mickey D's right after a promotion, like the 5 Big Macs for $5, and get the big corregated plasic signs. great for sledding. lol

that's what i thought too. i'll have to ask about it.

ok, got an email from garrett @ warmoth. the neck was already made for the 1 11/16" nut, but it had to be milled to correct height for an extra $30. anyone wanna translate? also, sasha @ WM said that it's ready to ship, so it'll prolly be here by next monday at the latest (WA to OH...UPS....). get ready for pix. i got a digital throwaway camera yesterday, so expect 27 pix at the least. lol, i hate wasting exposures.

that's the dean from the GW cover, isnt it? i would love to have it.

..... wow. is that purple heartwood? sorry if u already answered that, i saw the thing and decided to post right away. amazing freakin ax, that's all i got to say.

dont forget the hole at the neck where there used to be a humbucker. cover band fans are brutal when it comes to details. i saw a guy freak out b/c the frontman of a kiss cover band had the wrong makeup job.

UPDATE well, the chain i bought is 5/16, i think zakk uses 9. so the weight isnt an issue. i've been using the thing on my FirstAct for a while now, and it feels good. takes a lil getin used to. i figured out how to mark the cavities. i went to www.jacksonguitars.com and got a pic of the RR3. took some measurements (1st-12th, etc.), and figured out that the pic is a 8.16:1 to the real thing. used that for body size, and cavity markings. got the front trem cavity routed. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND A BIT WITH A GUIDE BEARING!!! i took a small chunk out of my template, b/c i didn't spend the extra 30-40 $$ for a bearing (my bits didnt have any). i got the front cavity routed to 1-1/8", like stewmac said to. goin to get the back cavity sometime in the next couple days. buying a disposible camera or two today, and my mom has a scanner. pix comin soon!! Also, Crafty, i decided on 21 frets b/c i don't want to have to move the neck p-up. i'm worried that will mess everything up tone-wise, and to tell the truth, im still somewhat technically illiterate. BTW, what is so much harder about a front rout? the only really tough thing will be drilling holes for wires, but the dad of this girl i work with is going to wire it, so i dont need to learn to solder just yet. YAY

so would any of them fit a Jackson RR3? i have a project going, and i need to be able to cart it around.

well, i gotta admit i dont know much bout the hardware stuff(posts and bushings), but i do know that it's a warmoth neck, and they do that variable radius thing. also, it's a 25.5 scale neck, so all the measurements are good. started the routing today, actually all i got done was attaching the front trem template and drilling the indexing hole for the back one. i got a nice 4 day weekend, so another update comin tues. hopefully soon ill have a digital camera to put up some pix.

Well, i started this about 2 months ago, and i got the body all shaped and ready to be routed. only took me about two weeks to make it, but i had to make the money to buy the templates from StewMac. just got em yesterday, gonna start routing the cavities soon. the only problem is, i dont have the neck yet (haven't got warmoth's shipment yet.), so i cant measure accurately where to put the trem and p-ups cavities. any ideas? i'm also debating whether to front rout or back rout it. i would like it to look semi-professional, but it IS my first project. By the way, here're my specs so far for wood and hardware: 2 piece ash body maple neck ebony fretboard (21 frets) 6150 fretwire Seymour Duncan Livewire humbuckers (active on bridge) Floyd-Schaller trem floyd locking nut d'addario strings (heavy low light top) chrome hardware white pickguard black body Zach wylde-style chain strap any q's or comments, feel free to drop me a line: lsvlsccr00@yahoo.com EDIT: I'm also planning on getting a site w/ pix up as soon as i can aquire a digi camera.
