  1. I really like the headstock shape and the name & logo, great concept!
  2. I think others have said much the same thing but here's my 2 cents I use a radius beam in a jig to keep it straight, same when I sand the radius in the first place. But if I wanted to get a higher degree of fret levelling I would use a flat bar (Got to get around to buying one) If the fretboard has been radiused really well then there should be very minimal requirement for the flat bar, and less fear of ruining the radius
  3. That's what I was thinking, or 25 1/2 inch scale with 21 frets
  4. Wow everything is wrong in that advertising. They've got their Front-Back, Left-Right all in a mess
  5. Is the body meant for a 25.5" scale? What length do you get from bridge to nut when the neck is in place? From what you're saying a 24 fret neck would make the issue worse
  6. I would think it's a trivial variation
  7. I think we have all pondered over how to have a broader range, like tuning lower, 7-strings and so forth but this is nuts (although its worth a look)
  8. If its worth mentioning, to me Weldon is just like SuperGlue but thicker and not quite as strong I had some but it got punctured somehow and I was left with a hollow blue tube
  9. I would think the amount it could move around under string tension would not affect intonation all that much, but cause issues with tuning stability and maybe buzzing or rattling
  10. Just met an interesting person... He worked at the Maton factory in the early days and helped develop their Fretless Bass. He said they had a process like microwaving that simulated seasoning the timber. He really liked my Semi accoustic guitars and appreciated the difficulty and skill involved to make them. It was a rare treat to talk to someone face to face who talks guitars!
  11. I reckon this is a great idea but I think it would only need to be scalloped on the thumb side
  12. That was my plan if I was going to use a pick guard
  13. That's one gorgeous guitar! Having just made a Tele myself I have a lot more appreciation for them (Being a LP guy) Ain't that the truth!
  14. Got around to buying a Tele bridge for My Strat but I completely forgot that the strings come through at a different spot. I intended to get a Top-Loading bridge to skirt around this problem but never mind I did it my way First thing I did was record with the Gotoh bridge. Then I marked where the strings go through the body and drilled on an angle to where they come through at the back of the guitar. I didn't trust myself to get the angle correct so I did some science and it worked out very well I don't like the look of it that much, a sexy curvy body with a square boxy thing in the middle. But it does sound more like a Telecaster, has more bite, like picking close to the bridge. The only difference now to a Telecaster is the body shape, so yeah should sound just like a Tele. I don't know if this setup will be permanent but I will leave it there for the life of the strings at least
  15. My 2 cents I'm pretty sure some makers set the distance of the tuners out such that the length of string from peg to nut doesn't match an overtone of the guitar, to avoid 'ring-on' Hard to achieve with a 12-string though! A couple of my early guitars I put the pegs close together to help the guitar stay in tune but it looks dumb and is hard to tune
