    There will always be tab sites, just not the same ones. Look at Napster, it is no longer free. but now we have bearshare, limewire, shareza etc. Once one site goes down another will pop up. Just keep looking.

    Dont worry about tonal characteristics yet. The first guitar will most likely be sub par to what you are capable of. For what is worth I canabalized by first two because I wasn't totally happy with them.

    Maple/birch, cheap, easy to come by not heartbreaking when you screw a piece up.

    So the Prefix "graph" is a misnomer. Clever marketing.

    www.busybeetools.com Theres one in edmonton. But they ship too. It's a canadian based version of harbour freight

    Doesnt graphite conduct electricity? At least it did last time I checked. Although I don't know how much graphite is in graphtec saddles, if any. Anyone wanna test this?

    Birch is a great wood. Dense, tight grained, a lil on the heavy side. It can have some really pretty grain. Kinda speckled like the back of a small deer.

    I like it... A tad bit of scientific method. You have me curious now. So maybe I'll be one of the crazies in the wood store now as well.

    Grind the bottom off of the screw, then grind a small chamfer on the bottom end at about the angle of the thread pitch. That should fix the thread that gets messed up during grinding. if you're at all worried about it, run the proper sized die down the thread to fix up the bottom. It is usally not necessary though.

    Last time i checked hamerhead stuido was free and exportable. havent used it in years tho hotstepper is good too, http://www.threechords.com/hammerhead/hotstepper.shtml

    Im sorry Rich but you just gave me a good laugh. I got a mental picture of some guy in a hardware store bangin on a piece of wood. A very fine line between that guy and a crazy person. The whole concept is silly. As soon as you change the wood's shape the information you have gathered by taping has gone out the window. Acoustic soundboards.....maybe i can see it being practical. Otherwise im thinkin crazy person knockin on wood. No offense intended at all.

    no radius blocks.... it'll ruin the curve. Just fret as normal if sanding is needed do it lightly by hand or use a straight block down the length of the fretboard.

    One word ....Marketing
  17. GuitarGuy
    Exactly what i was thinking. I bought mine in a set for 9.98 at Canadian Tire
  18. GuitarGuy
    Its kind of a bit of both!! hear in Cold Lake Im 4 hours away from A Music Store How bad is the damage? pics? !!METAL MATT!! If its real bad i can fix it

    If you want it accurate or "vintage". You could use templates and a router set to the proper height at each template. Much like a topographocal map. That is how I did my first strat. Totally not necessary but it works and lets you get it very similar to a real carve.

    Why? Cnc is not cost effective unless you make a large quantity of units. You don't just plug in the program and click start. There is a lot of setup work involved. That being said there was someone on here that did bodies but I can't remember the name.
  21. GuitarGuy
    Yes, it will shrink but it is negligible. So don't even worry about it.
  22. GuitarGuy
    If you don't fill it. It will use way more clear to get it level first off. But it will work. Regardless whatever grain filler you try, attempt it on scrap first. I'd hate to see them react. I really think it would be fine but its better safe than sorry.
  23. GuitarGuy
    Honestly, what I would do is pore fill it with epoxy. Then clear it like you would a normal clear finish. Then the color coats and more clear. Leveling between coats. On the first few coats the wood will just eat the clear. Within 2 or 3 coats you'll have a nice level base. As long as you don't sand through the clear at any point. The base coat will be fine on top of it. If you have a sand through make sure to seal it with another coat of clear. Otherwise the base will try to lift the clearcoat. (I made that mistake a long time ago, might as well pass it along)
