  2. Wes, the guitar looks very nice. I only have a few minor critiques. Im not liking the heel shape either. Also the top horn seems a bit thick and bulky. Nice guitar though! How does she play?

  7. You see that bit where is says centre cutting, that means you can plunge with it. Neil ← Thanks Neil...that is exactly what I needed to know.
  8. Try this cme tools 1/2" endmill 2" length of cut, centercutting ← But is it safe to plunge with? Thats where Im lacking the knowledge...how can I tell if a bit is plunge capable?
  9. I have a question........ I have this pin router table. I want to purchase a bit that I can plunge with and will cause less tear out. Can some one please suggest some bits? I see xlr8's 4 flute bit there but no plunge. I just dont want to spend $50+ on the incorrect bit...any help much appreciated. ***PLUNGE SPIRAL BIT KEY WORD HERE*** *I noticed in the descriptions of alot of spiral bits they leave out if you can plunge or not with it.
  10. I cannot give enough praise about Bartolinis.....you wont be dissapointed.
  11. Damn that Crotch Walnut looks super sexy! I really like the body shape as well, its has a nice fluid motion.
  12. Yeah, Im kind of confused as to why you would be using a bearing bit at all on a pin router??? Im mean......whats the piont of having a pin router then?
  13. I was also wondering about the Mighty Mite FR trems.....Ive seen those thing pretty cheap...
  14. If it was free??? Definately a mesa triple rectifier. I allready own a 5150, an older Randall that is hotrodded (Its a screamer!!) and Ive owned a JCM 900 (I didnt like this thing that much)

  16. Myka - Give it a proper death.........smash it then light it on fire.
  17. Looks nice so far...only thing i can really say is I think the body would have looked alot nicer with the use of some grain-filler.
  18. http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.php?showtopic=16507 The search button works really well also....
  19. Im not a big fan of Zakk Wylde but that guitar is killer looking!!!
  20. no...keep the stronger wood in the center to couch the truss rod. ← I started thinking that ater that last reply..... If the neck is no good than it will only be a good learning experience so I figured I might as well just go for it and see if the Lacewood holds up. Thanks Wes and Matt.
  21. Maybe I will switch it around and do lacewood for the middle laminates and purple heart for the 2 outer ones. Maybe that will stiffin it up a bit.
  22. You know that is a really nice right up about planes.....I just wish these planes were not $250-$400!
  23. I plan on building a 3 piece neck from 2 lace wood planks on the outsides and 1 purple heart plank down the middle w/ a wenge fretboard. (I have all the wood) My question is this, is Lace wood a suitable wood for a neck? I don’t think I have ever seen a neck with lace wood so I decided to do some investigating. I found this little blurb on the Jem Site; “Lace wood is a true multi-density wood. The rum colored skeleton is hard like Koa or Walnut, and the fleshy, grayish tan interior portions like Alder. The dual densities will augment different tones, while combing others out. It’s brighter than Alder, and richer than solid maple. Production notes: It can be difficult to finish, because the sections absorb finish differently. Oil finishes and heavy poly finishes work better than a softer nitrocellulose or acrylic lacquer. The lacquer finishes will sink over time telegraphing the grain. Extended Range notes: Another wood well suited for extended lows. Its dual density provides a good skeleton for keeping the lows tight. There’s less of a tradeoff to the higher strings because of the warmth of the softer sections.” I’ve read a few comments on her about it and some seem to think that it is a softer wood, yet the 2 planks that I have feel ROCK HARD and are pretty heavy and dense feeling. I can take a picture of all the woods when I get home if need be. And yes I did a search on the forum and did not find the answer…. Any advice would be much appreciated.
