sounds easy enough! i think im gonna use either walnut or wenge for the stripe, its what i have and i like them!

well im gonna try to talk her into it, the problem is i bought about six guitars worth of the stew mac stuff about two months ago, and ive only done two guitars since then. i'd probably like to get 5 guitars worth, but i will let you know, i will email you rhoads. it is a great price!

Ok so im making a stingray, i just finished glueing up the two piece ash body tonight, i am gonna use curly maple for a laminate neck, but i dont remember what the thickness of the neck is at the heel without the fret board, does anybody have a stingray that they could measure it for me? it would save me a trip to the music store. also is there a tutorial for installing a skunk stripe? the customer wants one, and i'd like to try it but id like to read something first,lol thanks for any help!

well the guitar i entered this month for the contest is a hollow body and it is made out of walnut back and mahogany top, the sustain is a little less than a solid but not by much, also it is completely hollow, it doesnt have a feedback problem at all and i play through a mesa! in my opinion i say go for the chambers! it will lighten u the guitar a little and i dont think it will take away much of the sustain if any, if you do it the same as in that picture. as for the neck angle, what i did was i drew a straight line on some paper, then added the angle line, 4 deg. is what mine are(you can do what you wish) making a point with both lines, then i use this as a template for a few peices of wood 3/4 x 12" long and i cut them to the same angle, mount them to a template of the neck pocket and you will be able to get your neck angle when you route. just make sure youi line up the template right when you place it on the body, so that it goes to the right depth you need. also its easier if you do it before you glue the top on! good luck and i hope this helps! also i was using the www.fullservesite.com for my pic hosting but i cant figur out how to do it anymore? im stupid! lol

hey i like the walnut! it will sound good!

i have no money! im buying a house in less than a month! rhoads, will you have a bunch that i could maybe contact you in a few months and buy enough for like one guitar? i'd like to try it but the wife will kill me if i order it now

oh and if the mic is pinted directly at the center of a speaker it will have more of a brighter sound and if its pinted at the rim of the speaker it will be duller sounding , on my mesa dc-5 i like to pint it about three inches from the rim towards the center. its not to bright then.

what kind of mic are you using derek? oh and dont put your ear to the amp that will do nothing but ruin your hearing.lol

9 and i still suck!

man, i am now very bumbed, i talked with him a bunch on and off this site, what a great guy, i pray you are in a better place now and may our prayers fall on your family Matia.

i like it alot! for 99$ its not a bad buy! ive used it for about maybe a half an hour the other day, it works well, it beats a belt sander!

yes they are still made but they have a diferent chip in them, fortunetly my buddy knows wich one to replace it with so it sounds like the old ones, and he bought a bunch of them chips! now i only gotta buy a tube screamer!

streamline dont get bumbed dude, your guitar is very sweet! they are all very cool this month! i think next month is gonna be a tuff one to! i hope i will be able to enter something? i think i will, i just need to make some flamed pup rings then intsall the hard ware and im good to go on my solid body! cant wait!

i engrave after it is all inlayed and sanded flush, then i use ebony dust and CA glue and it seems to work well, or you can get the black ca wich isnt bad either

yeah like scott said, i personali love the heat gun aproach! ive used it many of times, or a torch wich is what i used to use but a heat gun is like 25$ and is more controlable

so christmas was good , i got a cheapy raohbi router,wich will be nice cause now i will have two so i dont have to keep changin bits! i also got a raohbi oscilation spindle sander! boy i really like this tool it is great for sanding the edges! its made pretty well also. i still have a gift certificate to a place up here called woodworkers haven, i think im gonna get alot of exotic wood, they just got an order in!

the vintage vibe ones sound really good! and for 100 $ a set yoiu cant go wrong i just got mine the other day i'll be installing them this week i hope!

you'll probably be picking up alot of trucker cb's! breaker breaker thats a niner!

thats a bummer, so how is your father in the mafia if hes jewish? you know your teachers can do something about your problems at school, if they dont then theyve got a big lawsuit on thier hands, talk to your shcool councelors they will help you, if not talk to a teacher yoiu know is jewish, they gotta help! if it makes you feel better i love kosher dill pickles! im being serious dont take this offensivly! and im mostly german, but i love em !!

umm....................... im kinda computer illiterate but my band is finishing up our album at my cousins little home studio and we are using the Uendo system for his pc, and a few diferent condenser mics, the thing sounds great! i will give some links as soon as it is finished, Krazy derek, sometimes i found to get the same sound your ear hears you need to put the mic where your ear is at the time, this doesnt always work but sometimes for drum room mics, or nice lead tones it does, but im not a pro, it cant hurt to try it though?

i am listening to it for the first time through as i type this and i think its really awsome! such a wide dinamic of style

its that mouth of yours i bet? if you could only concour that then youd be good to go!

ha ha wylde have you seen my picture? im to ugly to be in an ad!!! and i didnt think you where being disrespectful, everyone has there likes and dislikes, and that is what makes this such a great place, personally im not a big fan of ibanez's, but!!! i do agree that they play well and i even have an ibanezish neck on my guitar that i built, its thin like an ibanez but a little wider.

ha ha lololol !!!! snork its OK this is just for fun! heck if i met you on the street i would still help you on your guitar stuff! then id beet you sensless! lol just kiddin

hmm.... maybe thats why they play them? i know i play them and they didnt come and offer me an endoresment! but now i am endorsed by my own comany! lol so i play Emerald Custom Instruments! lol well.... its not a company yet but hopefully soon!
