    well i love Tele shape but Strat sound....hahaha....So,that's gonna be a hybrid. tele body with 3 single coils i think....non tremolo system.... about the woods ...i think the guys gave me a good point of view to think of...

    seymour duncan....break tha bank??? i have heard many good things for them...
  3. theodoropoulos
    i guess this it the correct...scale and single coil.... any suggested label for single coil for original sound???

    lol any more serious answer???? None will sound exactly like a fender strat, but if its got a trem most wont notice the tonal difference. could you explain why? thank all of you for your interest but i have a great curiosity about this cedar of lebanon i own which is over 300 yeas old.... that would probably add some credits....besides its very light.... My alternative is sycamore as you mention cause is also very light... i forgot the basswood i have but i dont really belie it can do my work..... this elm i have an idea of black grain filling it and look like new PRS model...but its.....far from strats....

    i have some pieces of cedar of lebanon aged over 300 years.....taken from ruined old houses... i have also elm..... would they work for guitar bodies????? in my country we use cedar of lebanon for soundboard of cretan lyra....its very rare wood and worthy!!!
  9. theodoropoulos

  14. theodoropoulos
    Where can i find????Can anyone help?
  15. theodoropoulos
    sure!!!thanx!
  16. theodoropoulos
    forgive me for my stupid question,but i must solve it. The inlay is one piece or many?and if there are many how much they are?

    it would help me a lot to give typical min prices for poly and water based finish...Stew mac refers 30 and 40 psi... but in my project i spray with HVLP water based Bronze type B and it needs 70-90 psi.....I think its crazy .... What's your opinion?
  18. theodoropoulos
    i try to spray acrylic bronze with a 1.4 nozzle but there is always an "orange peel" which i cannot get rid off. My question is what is the combination of a)air pressure b)viscocity of liquid/thinner percent c)nozzle d)liquid fluid e) distance from theme in order to achieve a perfect paint/finish.. most of them i am concerning about how an acrylic liquid viscocity is connected with nozzle....i mean if my nozzle is 1.4 and see orange peel, should i try with 1.8 or 1.0???
  19. theodoropoulos
    was it mechanically done (i mean sanding) or a person with sanding machine sanded one by one every guitar?
  20. theodoropoulos
    my major question is how they do it in guitar factories....I mean do they wet sand or go to buffer after spraying with special compounds?
  21. theodoropoulos
    my question is how do you fine tune the chambers..............
  22. theodoropoulos
    there is a thick line which declares the border of the high gloss finish..If there is a satin finish in the neighborhood how could i eliminate this obvious line to make the transition more normal??
  23. theodoropoulos
    indian rosewood /maple top combined with wenge neck and cocobolo fretboard would be very bright???
  24. theodoropoulos
    i have heard that cherry has about the same tonal qualities with alder,as substitute.is it correct? i also forgot...i have some indian rosewood blanks.....for body....what about that?
  25. theodoropoulos
    i have some blanks of chery,sycamore,walnut,greek walnut,cedar of lebanon,elm and was thinking what would be the most suitable wood as far as tonal qualities concerns for electric guitar body. i have the classical woods(mahogany) but i would like to experiment.. any suggestion?
