    Nice build, edge of our seats.

    Thanks for the info that actually sparked some ideas of creating a small jig for binding head stocks. I thought that i might strip the paint off anyways just to dress it up a little. maybe veneer matching the body...

    Ok, just trial an error to setup the notch heights on the upright?

    Hey guys, I think I seen something here in the distant past. I'm pondering the design of a stage guitar that feels and plays like an electric but has only a piezo pickup in the bridge. Acoustic volume doesn't matter because it will always be plugged in when in use. I'd like to work on the sound at the bridge and hopefully find a balance with a robust real acoustic sound through the pickup. I'd like to keep it looking simple and solid even if I do relief the heck out of the body.

    You made me think, maybe I'll use a 13"x 13" block of plywood with a hole cut in the center the shape of the headstock. It's a good start. Thanks again.

    Thanks bud, there's a couple things i didn't for see. I was just picturing the chipping specially with a already painted headstock. I'm gonna give this a shot as soon as I have the binding in hand and know forsure what the nut is gonna be.

    Yeah, ya gotta bang it out your way. Whatever works, like those guys that play right handed guitar just flipped over... I can't watch this.

    I feel like the toughest part of learning guitar from scratch is the fret hand. I'm right handed and I had to train my left hand to do spectacular things. (haha) So a southpaw should catch on sooner from scratch give the same amount of exposure to the instrument no? Just a crazy idea I have.

    I've got a reverse pointy head stock neck that came from Stew Mac in the 90's. I'm ready to use this neck but I'd like to dress it up a little. I'm thinking of either adding binding or apply veneer to the face to dress it up a little. If decide on binding should I sand the edges back so routing the edge doesn't chip.

    I've got big sausage fingers and play a LTD HB-300 which is a 27" and it's beautiful, I used to buy 7str. pacs and through the .008 away. Ha Ha. just stay way from the wound G. I think 20 is the largest plain I've seen. Oh yeah I tune to droppedB or A.
  11. bileshake
    Yup, nice lines.

    Looks good, can't wait to see this unfold. I really like the extra fhole. What do you call that, the Ahole?

    Love this, I'm eyeballing a black striker for a stripe job. I might do a metallic orange just to be a dick.

    Hey, cool project. Wet sand with 1000 grit (or higher) the paint to fret board joint. I have the same problem on one of mine and I mean to wet sand it some day. Cheers

    ...cosmomusic.ca has this hardware very expensive but I just seen it the other day.

    Looks good, can't wait to watch your progress. I'm pondering to build a walnut tele.

    I love the finish, what bridge is that?
  18. bileshake
    This is very cool, can't wait to see more.

    Nice job, leave it with no toggle. Why not? we've come acustomed to lightning fast vol roll offs this just means you have two to roll at one in a loud situation.

    I was just coming back to post that I've been an idiot. I have the guitar with the control cavity broken off. Grab a pick off the web. Scale the two, overlap in photoshop and pow, I have a scaled template revealing the dimensions of the missing piece. I've been pondering this project for awhile, just now decided build the body from scratch with the original as a guide. thanks
  21. bileshake
    I guess no one has anything for this?
  22. bileshake
    Yeah very nice job. I've got a reverse jackson style neck with ebony board just sitting around and I'd like to put it on a tele body. This is very inspiring. I'm not much of a builder but this kind of gets the spark going for sure.

    Hey guys, I usually use steel wool to clean my frets when cleaning my guitars but I'm not a fan of the debris. Any new tricks that work as well or better that steel wool? Cheers
  24. bileshake
    What a damn steal, congrats.
  25. bileshake
