You wouldn't want to know how I do it.  I suck at finishes.

Do a search to learn how the people who know what there doing do it.

this ibanes is pretty close to prs mccarty in my opinion body and neck that is.ibanez

i was thinking of buying one then re wiring it with mccarty pickups and rplacing the bridge with a prs wraparound. What ya all think?

obviously prs uses better wood. besides that the wood type is the same. with mccarty pickuPS and the prs bridge on a scale of 1 to 10 what would u rate it. what would you rate the mccarty and why?

thanks

anyone notice that an ibanez body very much resembles a prs body except near the neck pocket. the ibanez wood extends out further on the left side then the prs. i bet pretty good prs copy could be based on an ibanez. comparison

Also anyone know if the bridge is good in the ibanez sa 420x, it has an lg baggs piezo system i know that pricey. i question is is the ibanez bridge better then the prs tremelo?

thanks, Adam

cool could you tell me the steps you use to finish a guitar( sanding ,time between each coats, etyc)?

thanks, adam

i ment is it safe health wise to touch for a long period of time once it dries.

looks like ill be using minwax much cheaper then ktm9.

thanks, adam

have u ever used that minwax finish before i was thinking of using it. out of curiousaity id that stuff safe to touch for long periods of time once its dryed?

adam

heres my go at a prs 24, what ya all think. im eventually going to put it on acrylic.template

im using a wrap around bridge would i use the same spacing as a tune amatic ?

if so in accordance with the scale im using the trebel insert should be at 25.061" from the nut925" scale 24 frett). the problem is i have no idea what the frqaction equivelant is and cant find it online. the closest i can get is 25.0625" or 25 1/16". will the difference make all that much of a difference?

adam

you can get the instructions at lmii.com click the ktm9 link on the homepage. ive used ktm9 and i get a sore throat and heartburn everytime i go near the guitar finished with it. it also smells wiered. u experiencing any similar issues?

adam

he raised the price by $6. you all think its worth $66 w/ shipping for a prs 24 template. let me know what you think.

thanks, i think i understand now.

adam

how do make it even with a router when theres no surface to use as a guide for the depth stop( the exsetension of the neck pocket is about 3/4 of an inch lower then the body).

adam sorry if it takes me awhile to comprehend. thanks

Try McFeeley.com for all of your high end fastening needs. It's who most of the furniture makers 'i know buy from. They are also a good source for square drive fasteners.

←

thanks thats exactly what i was looking for? what size screws should i get? i was thinking the 1/4-20 would work. Any suggestions?

←

do you glue these inserts in or just screw them in or both?

Adam

i bought it like that. i understand what your saying bu t how do i get the new filler block of wood to mesh up right with the horrible uneven neck pocket?

thanks, adam

Come on! use common sense! Clean out the neck pocket and make it even using your router.

I'm surprised you haven't noticed, he don't got none common sense.

im actually retarded but no one surpasses mr. Alex.

I would make sure the pocket is all square. Take a piece of mahogany (looks like the body is mahogany) and shape it to fill the cavity perfectly. I would have to see it up close but I may also route the neck pick up out and fill aswell. Glue it up, clamp it and let it dry. Then I would take my router and a template and reroute the pickup and neck pocket. Good as new.

←

how would i get the block to match the uneveness of the neck pocket?

Holy crap! What the hell happened there? If you want to save I would just completely fill it and reroute.

←

how do i fill it and with what?

adam

hi the neck pocket on my guitar is uneven any idea how to fix it? see picture uneven

thanks , Adam

hi does the scale of the fingerboard change the length of the neck? ex would 25.5 scale 21 frett neck be shorter the a 22 fret neck? im reffamering to the actual neck not the fingerboard.

Ad

i bought the plans for that carver thing. if it works this could be very usefull for duplicating boddies and neck.

adam

anyone ever used one of those carver things mentioned in the tutorial posted? if so how difficult is it to use a build? Also does the original neck get messed up at all?
