Does anybody know how thick they made the 58 les pauls?

I added a tutorial to the acoustic guitar sections(Its about 60% complete).

Is there anything in particular that you guys want me to include in the tut?

Yea, I was going to make my own in flash but it was taking too long. So, I did it the easy way.

Nice Links mattia!

Your right. Darn, I feel stupid now. Well, I guess you learn something every day!

Maybe Im thinking of something else. Correct me if Im wrong but, doesnt bigsby make the tremolo for those guitars?

OK, I changed it.

You could try using a bigger screw. Like I said before, you could get a bigger size screw but it might not hold. Is it a bigsby? If it is a bigsby, what model is it? http://www.bigsbyguitars.com/intro.html *

I didnt change it. It was one of the options on the site. But I will change the banner if you guys dont like it.

Well, Im proud to announce that http://exoticguitars.tk/ is now up and running! There are still a few bugs and the forums are crap but It'll work. I plan on putting the tutorials I write on it. So stay tuned! Fine Print: Pictures on the site are not my guitars they help me in the designing process . (They are my pictures though). I do have one body I made in the electric guitar gallery. Enjoy! Any Comments or feedback?(Negative and Positive Please)

Ill post them on my new webpage>> http://exoticguitars.tk/

Warmoth may make high quality guitars and necks, but if your not careful when building, you can turn it into a ugly monster(Poor quality Guitar). I would recommend trying to build the body yourself. Its not that hard. Try this webpage for finishing>>> http://home.flash.net/~guitars/ Hope this helps.

Merry xmas guys! Rember not to get too drunk on new years. And if you do, dont build any guitars.(Your fingers are at stake). Hmm. It would be interesting to see the designs people came up with? Enjoy Guys!

Practice on construction grade wood before you go on to expensive tone woods Here are some tips: 1. Measure twice cut once. You can never be too careful 2. You can always take more wood off if necessary. Its kinda of hard to put it back on(especially on a $150 quilted maple top) 3. Draw a grid on your guitar so you know how to place everything. 4. Always leave a little extra wood when cutting it out with a band saw, scroll saw, etc. 5. The design part is important so measure carefully. 6. Make all your mistakes on the scrap boards. Learn from them and try it again on another scrap board. Success is within your grasp if you follow these 6 steps! Here are the tools I use most when building my guitars: My plunge router>>> This is my best friend when I do my carve tops, round edges, route pickup cavities, route the electronics compartment, etc. Band saw>>I do all my shape cutting on a band saw. Orbital sander>>>I finish my carve tops off with this sander Spindle sander>>>I do around my cutout shape with this sander Good ol' hand sanding with a block>> do my fine sanding by hand with the carve top, and with a block around the side(This is so the sides will be even) Wood If your going to do an sg I would use mahogany. What kind of sound are you going for? Take a look at these links>> 1>>> http://www.hoffmanguitars.com/woods.htm 2>>> http://www.wingsguitars.com/tonewoods.html 3>>> http://www.johnsongtr.com/Tips.90.0.html Suppliers: Will at http://www.soundat11.com/ is a great supplier for mahogany woods.

What kinda of band saw blade do you guys recommend for cutting African mahogany?

Very nice Perry! Could you go into more depth on how you did those awesome inlays? ~SGB~

You'll Just have to wait 'till it gets to you. It looks real to me. But it is slightly modified.

Hey guys, I came across this webpage and thought it was very cool. Be sure to check out the sound clips>>> http://www.dreamguitars.com/tonewoods.htm

Ive had my little craftsman router for 6 years. It cost only like $69.00 Cant tell ya if its the number 1 but I like it.

After thinking about, I think you guys are right. But, I still would like to do some tutorials for Pg

Here is some good acoustic guitar woods >>>http://cgi.ebay.com/50-sets-of-Tonewood-Englemann-Spruce-A601_W0QQitemZ7373609952QQcategoryZ47067QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I've Built a few amps and would love to put tutorials together if you guys are interested.

I think project guitars needs a new category dedicated amp head building and Cab construction. What do you guys think?
