    well yes,i could seal it with something i guess
  2. theodoropoulos
    what grid do you suggest for sanding??
  3. theodoropoulos
    i try for first time to put my own decal in the guitar and i have a major question..Should i put it before the spraying with sealer or after??i ask this because if i place it before,after spraying ,i must not sand this area or sand it with steelwool..What would you suggest?? thank you in advance!!

    I would appreciate if you could help me with this diagramm..i cannot finfit in official duncan site 3 pick ups/3way Leveler switch /1 volume only.... thanks in advance!!

    First, look at the sunburst tutorials in the "finish and inlay tutorials section". Sanding between colors will make a mess of the fading of one color to the next. There is a progression of color you need to follow and no sanding in between them. They must blend together using a fading technique as toners. MK thanks a lot!

    i would like to make a question about the dark colours in the outer periphery of the guitar... the colour sprayed is a)pigment dissolved in solvent?? OR b)pigment in laquer???? and if i spray it ,can i sand it to move to the next stage or by sanding the "borders"of the colour will become fuzzy???

    as far as the things you said i agree....but what is the connection with the dead spots??trere are 2 different things,,,completely..do you mean buzzing???
  8. theodoropoulos
    thank you guys!!your opinions are important for me!!

    i just wanted to ask some opinion here about the fret leveling..Do you level always,or if you see that there are not even at some areas probably??i put my frets with press machine..should i first check before starting leveling???
  10. theodoropoulos
    well,i dont know where it comes from .i believe Europe...It has this pinky ,skiny ,colour....
  11. theodoropoulos
    well,i wont add it to padauk!!! as far as cherry concerns,what sound qualities does it have??tremble or mids??
  12. theodoropoulos
    ok.i think i you convinced me about Padauk....hahha..well probably cherry needs rosewood,or will it work itself well??? i have read that alder is the substite of cherry....haha..i need the oposite...so??leave alove the cherry as well??
  13. theodoropoulos
    ok,i will think of it very much...but why you say so about a solid rosewood guitar???why isn't is so usable??? my second guitar will be a strato out of cherry....Shall i try the toneblock there???
  14. theodoropoulos
    well, i have in my mind the excellent tone of rosewoods.on the othe side i have not worked with padauk body again...I think its going to be bright so i wanted to add some more overall frequencies..I intend to make the body chambered,so there will be much less wood,as far as the weight concerns....correct me if i am wrong,please!!

    i am planning to put an indian rosewood toneblock in a padauk body....But i have no idea about the depth i must go..the wood is heavy and i dont think i must go over 2cm ..what do you think? thanks in advance!!
  16. theodoropoulos
    i have seen 2 ways to do it...but i cannot find the pics: 1)secure the drilling table such as this with an angle,secure the guitar and drill 2)put a piece of wood above the hole you intend to drill,and drill together 2 pieces with the desired angle...be carefull with the depth....

    i owe a big favour to my friend Scott Walker who has helped me the most he could to understand the whole procedure... take a look at this masterpiece.... scott walker guitars
  18. theodoropoulos
    thanks..its not markers..its normal spray job with mineral suspended in water....the mineral then is sprayed with oxides..and then finished....mat in my case,with wax

    this project is just for fun and only cause i wanted to feel the scalloped neck!!!the story goes like this: i had an ibanex rx-40 i got rid off the black colour and used Sculpt Nouveaou patinas to have this oxide colour.The pickguard is also oxidezed iron..i used a floyd rose from my BC rich and only one single coil without even pots!! i made an experiment also ...i made a conversion in the neck pocket and with the screw i managed to have any angle i want..So i could add even a tune-o-matic bridge!!! i used a hinger between the neck pocket and the neck as you can see! and of course i scalloped the neck VERY ROUGH in order to feel the gap!! this project is just for fun!!!!!!!

    Love being wrong,do you? Unfortunately for me,other people's inability to hear tonal differences in different types of woods is not amusing...I just wish you could hear properly. Ι really love this!!hahaha..it's the same argueing about food's taste:i like this food-i hate this food!! you know there are Analysis Fourier software which shows really the distribution of frequencies!!It would be more objectiv that the personal'taste of everybody!!
  21. theodoropoulos
    haha,black mulberry is something we name here for the mulberry which has turned from yellow to deep chocolate brown...THis is a sign of aged wood,which means it will resonate but not in so high frequencies as yellow one...I am deeply confused!!haha..dont know what to use now!!!!! :D
  22. theodoropoulos
    you know, I AM IN LOVE WITH MALMSTEEN.I have studied this amazing vibrato he works and found that it was too difficult for me to do it..So i though to make a scalloped one..I just did a very one rough one,and i am very excited with it...I have not connected with pickus yet.just unplugged..but i confess it's much more difficult...but i love it!!it looks really cool....!!!how long did it take you to do it???
  23. theodoropoulos
    You know i had an idea....I read a lot about toneblocks.. see the pic http://elderly.com/images/new_instruments/30N/MM25AV_body-chamber.jpg I could probably use an alder substitute as body wood and add an indian rosewood toneblock for reacher sound...So,what do you think??
  24. theodoropoulos
    ......hmmmmm....i was thinking for my Yngwie Malmsteen scalloped guitar....i have no alder unfortunately....So what could i use?????i have some other alternatives woods...
  25. theodoropoulos
    that's a very correct point of view....thanks!!i 'll think of it very seriously!!
