Sorry if this has been answered before;
I'm looking for an reliable Ebay store to buy my electronics and accessories from; any suggestions?
pots, knobs, cavity covers, switches, screws etc....
Thanks!
I was thinking that you should definitely go for the carve, but then the pics loaded. Maybe just giving it a 1/4 radius and some tung oil would be good, or even a binding. The guitar looks great but I would only carve it if their was a nice figured cap. There is plenty more that will do this guitar justice.
Something that I admire about Jack White is that he progresses.....I always see his skills progressing in each album he comes out with. Some musicians just settle with a skill that they can market; and market the s#!* out of it...cough cough kirk cough......
To me a guitarist or any musician for that matter is more influential when they continue in their musical studies.....A mighty fine example is my favourite guitarist; John Petrucci.....His skill is always progressing....well sometimes just speeds up
but thats just my opinion....
Peace!
There will be plenty of practice! I won't go through with it until I am satisfied with a mock up
I've been looking for a good low pro, and I keep finding a bunch!

http://www.beyondeleven.com/ProductDetails...ose-pro-frtp100 I'm thinking this should be the one I buy
Theres also the jackson fr licensed low pro too!
But which one?
And one more question for the road;
My pickup pole-piece spacing is 1cm or .4 inches. The string spacing on the low profile fr is the same. The question is.....
*Will the neck pickup's pole-pieces still line up with the strings? I'm thinking yes but will not order the floyd until I am 100% certain.
Okay, I have installed a fr on my other guitar but it is not fully floating. My next guitar I would like it to float. I'm sure floydrose.com has the info I need but its under construction.
So before I ruin a perfectly good body blank....a few questions
1. Does my neck need to have an angle?
2. Does anyone know where to get some plans?
I am by no means an expert on this and would greatly appreciate help--i dont want to mess up.
Can someone quickly type a checklist or something to make sure I don't miss anything?
Vehoeven: Sorry for not having this thread in the right area
I had thought about using the shims, but wanted to see if there was a different option.
I bought a really cheap Chinese FR a while back and it obviously needs replacing! So I might buy the stewmac floyd rose and test it out....but this won't be for some time.
So, I planned on buying the OFR from beyond eleven.....but then I checked out guitar fetish......
Then I realized that Beyond Eleven only offers ofr based on a 10" neck radius; mine is 14!
The schaller version does have the 14" and I checked out guitar fetish and their price really...."spoke" to me .
Does anyone know another place I can get a 14" neck radius fitting FR?
And is the guitar fetish FR any good?
Your universe thread reminded me of something I had said to a friend a while back.....but I can't remember the exact words I used....
Something like: Space exploration is the ultimate example of the saying "Out of mind out of sight".....If you stop looking at all of the problems of earth...you eventually forget about them, as well as never solve them......
A friend of mine used to go around saying " look a distraction"....
Space is so interestingly distracting!
I wish I remembered what I said though it was a lot better than that...
ANYWAYS....
with a truss rod it will be fine - preferably quatersawn mahogany though, or my preference would be to laminate it.
there may be some natural movement anyway but it can be controlled easily with a tone sucking truss rod
I think it's flatsawn. If I cut it into three pieces and flip the middle piece; will this resolver my issue? I don't want to add any different species of wood.
A side question; I'm making my first mahogany neck this summer, with an ebony fretboard; non-angled. Will there be any strength issues that I should be aware of?
I remember reading a post on a guy that had router bits that cut out a lot of tedious fretboard work.
The bits are to radius your fretboards, and I would really like to invest in one! But, does he still make them; or anybody else that has them?
I'm looking for a 12" radius bit
Thanks
