wood is good

You tried changing the battery, just in case?

He said he did in the original post.

You should check the lug on the switch. Maybe its not getting thru to the switch.

What kind of wood would you be interested in?

Does anyone here offer fretboard slotting?

I just want to see if anyone can slot some fretboards for me. I have a wide range of woods to choose from here, but i dont know if i want to get the slotting system. Thanks for any replies.

Me too! They look great metalhead.

Wrong person

Bad idea. Even a guitar without a truss rod is not good. A bass... that would be horrible. You NEED some type of adjustment there.

Hmm....

This is a very easy task, but you NEED a router and straight bit with a bearing.

Or you just have smaller frets on that neck, and your fingers are just dragging more. Or that + too much oil.

You should drill for the bridge first.

Yeah, I plan to but I was needing input on how close to mount the bridge pickup in relation to the bridge.

Just measured one one mine.

I have it at .406" to the PICKUP RING, on the treble side, and .573" on the bass side to the pickup ring.

You should drill for the bridge first.

I just find imperial confusing. 18 and 5/8th's of an inch equals 18.5...whatever inches and then you have to find it etc. MM is right there, if its 461.5mm its 461.5mm straight forward and easy. A question to any american carpenters out there.....on the construction site do you use feet and inches? Like cut me a rafter 4 ft 5 and 3/4inches?

Sorry ranman106 for a little hijack! Im glad though you have worked out the scale!

18.625 actually

And yes, we say It just like that, feet and inches.

OK!!!! I stand corrected. I searched for a while today, and did happen to find some info on some 24.75" scale Warlocks. It appears some of the NJ series warlocks were that scale. So, I apologize for assuming you were wrong.

Can you link me to that info? I can't find it anywhere!!!

OOPS

In my post, I meant that 18 5/8" is 18.625

After my many questions about the scale of the neck and setup for 22 or 24 frets, here is what I was able to determine with the help of several people.

nut to 12th fret = 12 3/8

nut to 24th fret = @< 18 5/8

Scale IS 24.75

Well, the measuring looks wrong on the second part. From the nut to the 24th fret, your measurement of 18 5/8", matches neither of those scale lengths. For a 24.75" scale length neck, It would be about 18.562"( 18 5/8 is 18.615) from the nut to the 24th and for the 25.5" scale, It would be 19 1/8" exactly to the 24th fret.

Hmmm. Are you sure you measured right? BC rich has NEVER made a 24.75" scale warlock...

Unless you somehow make yours IDENTICAL to a PRS, Its going to be different. You need to get your bridge and calculate it yourself. You shouldnt build the guitar around a neck angle, you should make the neck angle to suit your guitar.

Woah, hold on there.

Never go that coarse for a finish! What grit of sandpaper did you sand to before you sprayed? I wouldnt go with anything less than 400 after your first coat.

Yeah, touching the strings makes you a shield, meaning that the bridge is grounded just fine and your noise is from a lack of shielding or just inherent like hum.

No, thats still not true. Your spreading confusing inaccurate information. If there is a ground missing, that will cause noise, hence why the first thing everyone asks is if they have the bridge grounded. Noise from not being shielded would be the same when touching the strings as when your not. That kind of noise/buzzing is on no matter what you touch.

His grounding is fine if touching the strings makes it go away.

Uh, no... That IS what happens when There is a ground missing, or something ground related usually.

All shielding does is stop excess noise from the pickups...

Has anyone here tried an EMG 89?

Not being a butt here or anything, but...

The 89 is the standard bridge EMG humbucker, and has been for the last 25+ years. It's pretty well documented.

WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH!!!

Incorrect. The Emg 81 is the one thats been around for a while. The 89 is a neck pickup, and has not been around that long. Its the only coil tapapable EMG.

There is no picture.

exactly like this

BUMP

That doesn't show how to get the fingerboard of.

It doesnt need to. There are a ton of tutorials already on how to do that. There is a really good one on the main site.

We cant possibly tell you what the finish is just by looking at the pics! Is it a gibson?

That is the most common spot for finish cracks on gibbys. Mostly from when someone holds the whole guitar up by the neck or something. Usually just stress cracks from doing that.
