    yo mdw that is the ugliest most awful piece of timber i have seen in my life! you need to immediately pack it (carefully) and ship to me so i may dispose of it in the correct manner. you can pm me for my shipping details!! seriously though cheers darren

    dude that looks totally wicked!! i'm with most of the other guys though, that headstock needs changing to something more "pointy". for the name, how about the punisher?? cheers darren

    i would imagine that it would be done in the opposite way you described. rout out the chamber from the front, and then maybe use a very fine drill dit, then a coping saw with a very fine blade (or something like that ) cheers darren

    cool i'm from down port adelaide way. i spoke with fretco about a month ago and asked them about building a custom neck for me, but they seemed quite pricey. i figured i could probably f*** up at least four or five times building a neck before i got near their price, so i'm going to give building a go. the guy i spoke to seemed like a pretty good guy, didn't get pissed at me for all the stupid questions i was throwing at him.

    what about drilling your pilot holes and then coming through the back with one of these. it looks like they have an adjustment for the depth of the countersink, so you may be able to get deep enough for the ferrule to seat properly. cheers darren

    hey neocon where in adelaide are you??
  18. dash
    try here dude

    matt what type of finish are you doing?? if its going to be painted, why not just rout a channel for the wiring and then put a strip of timber over the top??

    dude if it is yours then get it. it is a part of who you are. i sold my dream car just over ten years ago, (my wife decided that driving a v8 manual was too hard), i put about 18 months worth of week ends, and almost every dollar i earnt into building it, only to part with it for the princely sum of $5000. i recently saw it advertised in a car mag for $19000. if i had the cash i would have bought it back, but unfortunately i couldn't. (ps my very first electric guitar was a vantage as well, a flying v!!) cheers darren

    Timber Pickups

    dash replied to dash's topic in Electronics Chat

    thanks for the link greg, i tried on google but couldn't come up with anything

    just wondering i there is any logical reason why a pickup bobbin cannot be made from timber?? just juggling an idea in my head, and thought it would be cool to match the pickup with the laminates in a neck through guitar/bass. i don't mean just using a timber cover, but actually making it out of timber. anyone done this?? cheers darren
