So i got my floyd rose origional and i've got my template, but i'm stuck on the spacing between the top of the floyd rose and the neck pocket... its a standard fender stratocaster neck pocket.

what is the distance between the neck pocket and the floyd rose?

Any help is appreciated : )

hey

will the schaller floyd rose tremelo templates i've seen work for the floyd rose origional? (it only says made in germany on the bottom)

any help? thanks

not here to argue lol but yeah you guys are helpful thanks

wait i read the post you told me to read but i'm still confused... maybe i just missed what i was looking for but... for routing out a tremelo surely i'd need a straight bit , but i need one that can ride on the inside of a template, i can't find that ... thanks again , i'm suprised you put up with people like me who aren't quite there

lol sorry ....

hey i just bought a plunge router and i was wondering what bit i should be using for routing my guitar body...

baring in mind i'm gonna be routing a floyd rose

have no idea what i'm doing, reading the manual now any help ?

(i'm not very serious, just one of my little projects... turning out to be quite fun though)

i've always thought that it'd be useful to have a small slider eq on a electric guitar, something more detailed than one or two tone pots. i don't think i've seen it done but maybe theirs a brand that make eqs for graphic electric guitar already, thats esentually what i'm looking for.

i know its probably not very practical but i like guitars that have lots of controls and this is something that would interest me

maybe its possible to convert an electro acoustic eq?... i don't know much about electronics if anything.

... so if anyone knows anything about where i could find one or if i could convert an acoustic one that'd be great.

I was thinking about trying to scallop a cheap neck and see if i like the outcome because i'm a big malmsteen fan and i love the vibrato sound he gets, anyway i've got some questions.

First off I'm alittle confused because I have heard people say it makes it harder to play fast and other people say it makes it easier, is it just opinion? different for different people ect.

secondly, i've not got much experience with files, so is it an impossible task i'm setting myself...

any advise?

i just relised i've got sanddust all over the keyboard.....

Were you at the beach when typing?

oops

i think they must be.... and yeah i know they're supposed to be a bit above the body but the copy necks stood out so much it made me worry lol i think the copy necks are thicker..... how thick are your strat necks at the heel (not including fret board)...

i just relised i've got sanddust all over the keyboard.....

basically is the neck pocket depth on a fender standard strat really 1.6cm (warmoth website) ? because now that i've cut it that deep it seems way too shallow, none of the strat copy necks i have lying around come close (i didn't expect them to fit perfectly and i wasn't gonna use them but i thought i'd stick a few on for fun before i buy a proper neck), they're all way to thick at the heel.

i know i'm err... not the most experienced builder but any answers would help.

lol this font size better?

green it is, thanks

i'm making a bc rich mockingbird style guitar , its got a quilt top so i thought i would stain it some pretty colours

the only problem is that i'm stuck between 3 different finishs, i am very indecisive... so maybe you can help me beside

its either

sun burst , tobbaco burst or a green stain with darkened edges

...... i just can't make up my mind so what do you think

i really like the look of the hr giger ibanez guitars, and i have access to a laser cuter (not sure if thats its technical name) so i was wondering if i could get the same effect using the laser cuter........

i have a mockingbird body i just made to finish making, so i've got my victim

any advice

Its all good then ...

although i am concerned that the maple might slightly warped, is that a big issue or something that can be dealt with, and if so how???

lol alright thanks

i'm using maple on top of basswood... like some of the musicman axis guitars , thats the kinda tone i was looking for.

but when i got the maple top it was really thin almost 1/4 inch , is that to thin to get the tone i want or is this normal....???

it looks really nice though
