  1. thats not my guitar, but u know how theres 2 pieces of wood sandwiching the countoured wood (newb language) its starting to split, i think it JUST got there for some reason, should i dab a wood glue all around where its splitting? it seems i can pry apart the wood fairly easy with the splitting already started how could this have happend? how do i prevent this from happening>
  2. i got a sanded charvel that needs paint i tried putting it on ebay so many times but nobody would buy it i hate listing fees. id like 40 bucks? pay me thru paypal please.... heres pics of it i might take a trade. surprise me the reason im selling this is cause i want to get some money to buy a body blank and make my own guitar. i also need a good set of s/s/h pickups. (ibanez, charvel, jackson, would be fine.)
  3. yeah it seems like a better idea to just fix it...but i didnt think and i just ripped it out like theres a patch of wood on the bridge and a patch of wood gone from the guitar. it chipped everywhere.
  4. How do u refinish neck thrus? how would u sand them? how do u put on new binding and stuff or do u just leave it on? i need to cover the fretboard somehow when im refinishing right? i was planning to use aerosol laquer. dont i have a risk of the paint cracking and stuff. or is this just as good as a factory finish.
  5. that seems like a cool idea, if i were to get this instant gold/chrome thing would i have to clear coat it?? or can i just leave it the way it is? is there buffing involved to get it to shine after u chrome it?
  6. haha i dont know shipping might be alot, a small trade would be cool. also, when i ripped the bridge out i realized that when i was tuning my firends guitar it made that same cracking sound. could his bridge possibly be coming off too? how do u stop this? am i tuning it in a wrong way or are the guitars poor quality?
  7. i was playing my acoustic and i looked at the bridge and freaked out. the bridge looked like it was gonna fling out. i remembered everytime i tuned the guitar i would hear a snapping sound. but i ignored it. is there anyway of fixing this or is it trash? i dont care much if i cant fix it, it was 100 dollars in korea.
  8. wow i dont see one oh wait found it i will try right now oh wow i fixed it, thanks alot im a nub lol
  9. i bought a new korean acoustic...in korea. and the frets are like flat, there not really crowned nice. it played perfectly fine over the summer. i duno why its buzzing now. its buzzing on the high e string at the 3rd, 5th, and 6th fret. do i need a new bridge or something? cause hte string is awfully close to the fretboard...i dont wanna just throw this away cause its practically brand new....
  10. when i browse around the internet for guitar bodies they usally say, "made for a 22 fret neck" does it mattter what kinda neck (21 fret, 22 fret, 24 fret) u put on gutiar bodies? does it effect it in any way?
  11. im korean too and man......it has always been my dream to make my own guitar from scratch. i dont have a workshop or the tools to be working with though. i joined shop class in school hopeing i could build a guitar there. but it doenst look like its gonna happen. i was born in america, but after seeing hyunsu's guitars, i wish i was born there....... when i go to korea. im just gonna pack my bag with woods. seriously
  12. my shop teachers got cedar, cherry, poplar, and other things i forgot, but what kinda wood is suitable for a guitar neck? wide grain or narrow grain? can anybody suggest any alternate woods i can use to make a neck? i doubt he will let me use the maple, he siad its not the hard maple u find in baseball bats so i dont even know if u can use that for necks.....
  13. what are active pickups? are these active? waht does active mean?
