    i own several dif types of guitars. first off i hate strats because of the humming. i have an lp its a liitle to heavy for my taste. i also have an ibanez sa 420x its great the body is light made of mahogany. the sa neck also rocks very slim and smooth. pickups plays a big part though the ibanez ones are ok but the lp custom modded with prs mccarty pickups sounds better. id go with a light body( i like mahogany, im dying to try koa) and a slim neck myself. angled headstock is a plus too. go to the guitar store and play around, plus its fun.

    i think so , im not onna glue the fretts. Also im gonna dig out my archtop building book to consult. i aasume fretting is the same for an electric as an acoustic. Adam

  4. possum1284
    from what i got out of it u just bang the fretts in is that correct?ive red the tutorials several times which made mention of removing glue and im still confused.

    ← thanks all i found a bridge placement calculator on stewmac i got the exact distance for the bridge placement for all the scales im considering.

    hi does the number of fretts (24 frett 25" scale and 22 frett 25" scale) change the placement of the pickups and bridge? thanks

    thanks i like the ce22 template alot. is that similar to the mccarty besides the neck and the type of bridge. those are the differences i noticed. thanks

    i was planning on using a 24.75" scale neck, i have it laying around. i just like the shape of the prs would it be ok to use the les paul placement then? Adam
  14. possum1284
    You seem to want it pretty accurate, so, NO, different scales. Learn some basics before you try something you obviouly have no idea how to do. Edit: I'm in a slightly better mood than before, so get a 6er of beer(dont know how old you are so may require parents) go to a shop with a mccarty, and trade it for being allowed to take measurements from the guitar. ← i dont know what your problem is. why wouldnt i make it as accurate as possible please dont respond anymore to my post your extremely hostile for no reason

    my real concern is how far the pickips should be from each other and where to place the bridge? my idea was to gut an epiphone lp special and trace the placement of everything including the neck pocket and then cut a template? could i then just position it on body i have that shaped like a prs mccarty even though its from an lp? thanks, Adam

    thanks for the inspirational comment. i was reffering to bridge, pickup and neck placement. but sure your sarcastice remark was a big help

  21. possum1284

  22. possum1284
    hi just recieved a guitar body which is suppossed to be hondoran mahogan. it lokks a little light to me compared to my other mahogany body? an advice is appreciated adam body pic
  23. possum1284
    just the neck pocket is uneven
  24. possum1284
    hi the neck pocket on my guitsr is really rough and uneven. i was thinking of repairing it by cutting a piece out of a new piece of wood then glueing it to the body which woul be cut so that it matched the piece. see the following illustrationneck fix then id use a neck plate to further secure the joined pieces of wood. the parts colored red are the new piece of wood id cut. the non colored parts are the original body. thanks, Adam
