Yep, but they really DO have EVERYTHING...

I bought some mahogany there for a good price... A 4' long slab 2" thick and 1' wide for 40$ CDN so it's not so bad, really!

you dont need to worry anyways... it wont change the sound (on most pickups) and won't cause any problems (Petrucci does have one pickup reversed, so his middle position (both pickups tapped) is also humbucking)

I kinda like the shape, but I think a pickguard and a different headstock would have been much better...

And maybe add an angle to the fretboard!

Anyways, the build looks very good! And the sound must be pretty cool

I guess that with just lighter tuners it would work... (get pearl buttons!)

Tuner make a hell of a difference as far as weight distribution goes!

I don't have anything to trade but I would really recommend you to get a '59 for the neck... Best neck pickup ever

And a Custom 5 for the bridge... A bit higher output than a PAF, but the mixed position between it and the '59 is just SO great!! And the sound is similar to a JB but with less 'honk' (had a JB before and I hated it...) and a bit less output.

I second that theory.

Alright, I have a question...

I'm planning to send my current project to an auto shop to have it cleared... I want to use a sold color (actually, I'd really like to have a black or white with flakes...) but have only access to rattlecans (in Canada, too).

What brands and where can I get poly compatible colors that look nice?

heh! not long ago I got a huge deal on a Mesa/Boogie .50 caliber combo... Damn this amp rocks! lol Only for 450$ CDN (around $350)

I was broke, and I'm much more now, but it was worth it!!!

I'm considering putting a floating jazz pickup on my Ovation acoustic... Maybe i'd get a GFS thin jazz pickup and get electric guitar 11s... I was wondering how doable that is and how nice would an acoustic guitar sound with electric guitar strings on it. Maybe I could try those acoustic guitar strings made for mag pickups?

Has anyone ever done such a thing as installing a humbucker on an acoustic guitar?

Thanks

yea, I think it's like the height of the bridge or something...

Hell yea! That would be really nice decoration for a guitar shop

Why don't you stagger the tuners a bit?

Here's what I mean:

Lots of Thorns have that! I think I might add that to my main axe...

I wouldn't bet on that zero with all those chinese guitars these days

I dunno, but there are SO many guitars out there with veneer or headplates on the headstock and nothing behind that do fine... I'm not sure I would totally believe that.

Looks really nice!

That could actually be of nice help to make really complicated inlays!!!

For some of the same reasons as someone said about thier Parker Nitefly, my favourite guitar would have to be my Parker Fly Classic. Like he said, it's one guitar I could NEVER replace with a build of my own. It's about as original looking as you can get without becoming ugly... and lastly... when i play on that neck i play about twice as fast as I can on anything else

Exactly... The Fly Classic is truly my dream guitar!

And about the twice as fast thing, I recon that's about right!! I've always been the type of guy who says gear won't make you play better and all, but that freaking guitar made me play quite better than I tought possible without even being used to it!!!

Oh and I can't vouch on how nice that piezo sounds!

Someday, when I start to do paid gigs, I'll buy that guitar, for sure...

Hmmm... Well of the guitars I own I gotta say it's my Hamer Standard... The SD's in there (59 and Custom 5) absolutely suit the guitar and my amp. It's so great... The sound is just perfect!!

My dream guitar: A Parker Fly... Tryed one yesterday at the shop for a good 30 minutes, holy **** that's a hell of a guitar! Unbelievable tone, playability, everything... Even the piezo is just GREAT! (heck it sounded really nice even in a Mesa)

The point of running the head in a load box is that you get the poweramp distortion in your signal!

Someone should try that someday... Spalt maple neck.

Yea... Very good idea there

Man, if only I had the money...

Ive seen him use an Adamas also in a DVD... But nothing about amps...

Very nice! If you ask me, that's a really nice take on the tele shape, and I rarely like mods made to an existing body type... (I.E. All those ugly-ass explorer clones!!!)

You makin' fun o' my Explorer?

Nah not necessarely yours... More like the ESP and Ibanez versions... Both are ugly as hell. And the Jackson one is a bit better but not much

Very nice! If you ask me, that's a really nice take on the tele shape, and I rarely like mods made to an existing body type... (I.E. All those ugly-ass explorer clones!!!)

If I was you, I'd check out the Schaller Piezo TOM... about 1/2 the price of this one... (got mine for 90$ CDN... about $60 US)
