    Not sure I understand your question? Are you asking if they are the same from a contact standpoint? or what? mk

    Buy the Jet. It's more upgradeable if you chose. YOU can get a byrd/helix indexable cutter head for it for around $300. These are very usefull if you plan on jointing high figured wood. ie: Quilted, flamed maple or other species or burls. will most definitely help with minimizing tearout. JUst my .02cents MK

    YOU do realize that purple heart turns brown with age? mk

    You are welcome. MK

    As far as your question about the Lacquer? IT will work over shellac. mk

    I agree with Mattia, But I would not worry so much about the neck at this point. YOU will have many options after you know the true measurements. you can always us it as a long tenon setneck and cap it. So chill a bit and read. study your options, then move forward slowly. MK

    BTW, chucks are not all interchangeable. Depends on the type of chuck and manufactor. THere are many types of fitting. morse taper #1. M2, different threaded types. so don't be disappointed if it doesn't fit. MK

    May I suggest that you buy and read Melvin Hiscocks book," Make you own electric guitar". I think you will find all of your answers there. If not, you will know where to look, as well as specific questions to ask. I'm not trying to be an A$$, just trying to help you with questions you have that are so loaded, that each instance requires a different answer. Sincerely, Mike

    Hey Mike! Yep, that's how I've done it in a pinch as well, though I use christmas tree lights since I have so damn many of them. LMAO!!! Well what can I say? XMAS LIGHTS! BTW Joseph, you can get a nice Multimeter at Tanner electronices off of 35E at Valwood in Carrollton for about $5 LOL. Nice to hear from you. Hope soccer season and the kids are treating you well? Hope to see you soon and have a cold one. Mike

    +1 if continuity is all you need, then a flashlight bulb and a AA 1.5volt battery and some wire will do that. just put it all in series, and have 2 leads. I think you know what I mean If the bulb lights up your good to go if not then? LOL ))) MK

    That's interesteing since the 25" template that Stewmac sells has the zero fret / nut face slot. Since I've never purchased a board from them I didn't know that. Thanks MK

    Neck to body angle is 4.5 degrees and the headstock is 17 degrees. mk

    No Problem, That's why I said," If he is POSITIVE" LOL:)) since lacquer will not adhere to poly coats. Poly is harder to get a good chip repair fixed and look right. MK
  16. MiKro
    If he is POSITIVE that it is a lacquer finish. Then I would lightly sand the area around the chip and drop fill with more lacquer. Allow to cure a day or two and sand again, until level with 600 grit ( this process may take a few applications of this). Then wait about 2 to 3 weeks and finish sand with starting at 1000 grit and progress up to at least 2000 grit and then polish. But that's just my opinion. MK

    I'd be interested. Always like a good read. but we would need to make sure we get the set as they come out. MK

    Thanks Erik, The pickups are from Carvin, the neck is a H22N Holdsworth model, and the bridge is a C22T vintage. The neck PU has a nice bluesy sound and the bridge PU has a Tele type of sound to it. MK Thanks JonSilver I'm glad it's finally done though. LOL:)) Now on to another build and see if I can use what I learned NOT TO DO on the next one and speed the process up LOL:)) MK
