I's for me. I'm getting rid of my Washburn because I don't care for a trem.
-
I don't exactly know where to post this, so move it if it's in the wrong place. I want a Les Paul copy and have it narrowed down to the Agile AL-2000 or Kramer Standard. Anyone know much about these?
-
Also, any brand reccomendations. And please be keep in mind I'm not able to spend $200.00 on a plane. I need a real world, practical plane and price. Thanks guys.

I'm going to build a neck theough next time around, and I wnat to do it Neal Moser style, with hand planes. Anyone know if I can get away with using a 14" hand plane to joint sides flat, or do I have to go with the full blown 22" setup?
-
Really nice designs and execution. I gotta tell you guys, I used to really hate the "metal" guitar shapes, but people around here have really done some creative, excellent work. In fact, the next guitar on my drawing board is a Rico Jr. Vixen type unit. Keep up the good work, man.

That wood Scotty, oh my God, oh my God, Scotty, that wood. Oh my Godl.

And a bit more carved. I'm forgoing the files in favor of a belt sander on the belly and armrest for reasons of speed and accuracy.
-
Starting to carve the top just a bit.
-
Yo, welcome and have fun.

Dude, you 'tarded it up bigtime. Bravo!! We all do it one time or another. This will be satisfying restore for sure. And a good way to start building. Keep us posted.

Laminate Fingerboard... Will They Work?
sexybeast replied to verhoevenc's topic in Solidbody Guitar and Bass Chat
Why not? -
That's what I thought, but I couldn't find any good info. Thanks, man. I told him to forget it.

Scratch em' up on the pavement and hit em with junk. Just don't wreck em. Or buy old used parts that ARE aged...
-
God am I an amateur!! It looked fine to me until I got a look at the finished work...

I'm using a zero fret and am having a helluva time getting info about string height regarding this topic. Do I have to file the other frets lower to provide proper string height, or do I have to use a taller fret? Is it all in the neck angle? Any advice will help.

A guy wants to trade me is Washburn Lyon ME4 for my Wshburn MG44. I can't find too much about the ME4 and I don't want to put too much effort in t driving around if they're way mismatched. Any info?
-
Fretboard's been fretted! Tis was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. It's a flat radius with no fret markers. I'm not lazy, it's actually what I wanted. I marked up the fretboard in a few places and this will be a bitch to level, I know, but so far I'm feeling pretty good about it.
-
I grab it and play every night. Mostly I just noodle in front of the TV, but when I get serious I work on two things: Chord Progressions Metronome and chord progressions. And now I'm actually learning the fretboard as a pre cursor to theory. But no matter what, it's in my hands at night. So much so that I SUSPECT, only suspect, that it may be helping me develop arthritis in my left hand.
-
Just a quick and cheap way I did it: From Tele to not Tele. Maybe it'll help someone.

Next question: Will cedar work as a laminate between two pieces of cherry in a neck thru?
-
Maybe not so much tribal as primitive. Simple shapes to take up space and look sort of relic-y. I plan to distress it just a bit as well.

Cedar/maple Carved Top In Progress
sexybeast replied to spyykko's topic in In Progress and Finished Work
Have you ever used Cedar in a neck before? I'm curious to see how it performs. I have a TON of it and it'd be nice to use it in a neck laminate if I can. -
Thank you a housand times for the Flying V dimensions!! It came just at the right time.
-
After a few posts for input, I've decided to make my next guitar a neck thru Flying V. I got the plans off of this site and decided to use Cherry for the neck and make Western Red Cedar wings. Since I know Cedar nicks and marks easily, I decided to try something different. I'm going to carve the wings in a rough, tribal manner and give it character. I'm knocking around ideas like this, but I'm open to suggestion. I plan to add more, but this is a start. I'm looking for simple shapes and ideas. Everything in the design will be chiseled or routed into the wood, no painted designs I will not touch wood to begin this project until the current one is finished, but I can still plan... Suggestions?

Dude, leave it. A black Les Paul with gold hardware is pure cool. Plus, the binding and all will be a REAL hassle. I'm not a big fan of paint, but these are an exception.
