no, it doesnt matter which side. As long as we are talking about a "standard" 5 way.

I doesnt matter which side of the switch they go to. Have a good look at the switch and see which contact is the common ie: the one thats always conected. one side is used for the input/output and the othere side goes to the tone pots.

You can call warwick uk on 0161 8390 666, the bridge costs around £25/

Raidal make a Box called Cabone that switches Cabs.

Na, the dimebag pickup from seymour duncan sounds nothing like the invader. I have fitted loads to lots of customers guitars. Its night and day between them. I dont know why he said that?!!??! The Dimebucker or the Full Shred give that cutting sound. Perfect for a guy with the Name METAL MATT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey simo, i got a hold of the spares guy at Ibanez today and the Mono Rail Bridges are Between £22 and £45 Each at trade Prices!!!!!!!!! They are only available in Cosmo Black, Cosmo White and something Gold. if you add VAT to those prices it going to be very expensive. I can get them for ya if you need them. If there is any other bridge you would like me to check out just post it here.

Ok i get setch. Ill need to read it totally when i get the time. Cheers

Can someone tell me about jeff liltchfield and what all this stuff about him is about? Point me to a post or something. I agree ED roman needs a good kicking, he easy to avoid being in the UK but does make some good points, sometimes.

Its actually a good jazz pickup because its so warm, it does not do the pantera type cutting sound if your looking for that sort of sound. But it is loud.

The middle pickup get in the way of your pick and it doesn't really offer more sound selections, 3 singles or 3 P90's are ok though.

Could you give me the sizes of the Iceman Headstock?

Exactly!

Cheers PSW. I think your right about the size of it. I may do a variation on it just drawn by hand.

Whats the distance between the Center of the hole and the pin frenzy?

Have u tried here!? http://www.mightymite.com/pickups/guitar/dc/index.html

I am going to use a angle back headstock, probably 3x3. The carbon will be hidden in the neck. I have bought most of these tools recently for this project. I Still dont have a access to a bandsaw or a pillar drill. Thats what i need to sort out.

Here is the Fingerboard and Headstock Veener. Both made of ebony Im still not sure about the headstock design. Does anyone have drawings of the Iceman Headstock?

Call rosetti !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yea it would be great, just make sure your bidge pickup can keep up with it, in volume i mean. Also check the String spacing is the same.

RIGHT Update. I ordered some Black Limba from Rich and it should be with me next week sometime. Today i recieved my order from Craft Supplies I got: 1/2 inch Birdseye Maple x 2 1/2 inch Paduak x 1 1/4 Wenge x 2 1/4 Bubinga x4 I dont need all this but i got free delivery if my order was over £100 I plan to use the Paduak, maple and wenge for this neck As you can see i also bought a nice big bottle of Titebond and a 1/2inch round microplane (this is awesome) Tomorrow i am going to spend all day getting these blanks in a state were i can glue them up. This is the order of neck lams in the photo. There all 48x2 inchs.

Na send them here i could do with a couple of small shelves in the toilet. I still waiting for an answer for those bridges for ya, ill keep you posted.

Yea this thread has went way off in a tangent, probably cause of me! I would do what i first suggested, keep the 9's on it if you intend to use 9's, keep the rod loose and tune the strings a little higher and just leave it siting. It will start to bow. What is the neck made of? Is it maple/bubinga/maple? How are you measuing relief? What is your method? Later

I meant the skiping rope as simple anaolgy, do not take literally. I Play my guitars with a really low action 9',10' or 11's depending on the scale length of the guitar and basically how it feels. i dont mind a little buzz at the first few frets and with this setup thats the only place where it is gonna buzz. false analogy.does not apply because by stepping back with the rope you are "tightening the string",not "moving the neck away" Ok well imagine the road is pulled from under you slightly in the middle then. We all know what we are saying, but remember a set up is a personal thing. What setch says just about sums it up really.

Thats the same plate that comes on a GIbson les paul Supreme, could get it from rossetti the GIbson UK people? Give them a Call. http://www.rosetti.co.uk/

I Agree in some ways Wes, i do also play and set up my guitars with virtual no relief and it does buzz on the lower fret but thats fine, people who set there guitars up like this play Shread with the Dirt up full and you cannot hear it, it doesnt come through the amp which is what is important. I play with a light touch and i can get away it and it is not suitable for everyone. I am a guitar tech to trade and would love to set up every guitar that way but its not possible, as it is not for everyone. Relief is meant to give a little in the middle, this is due to the way a string vibrates. It like a skipping rope. Imagine you and a friend are turning a rope (across a street) around like a skipper would and it is touching the street in the middle of the road. Ok with me? Now take a little step back and the rope no longer hits the road............. thats relief! Basically the action has to get slightly higher every fret ( i said slightly) or its gonna hit the next fret. Guitars buzz because a metal string is hiting a metal fret, theres no getting away form that. A truss rod is NOT there to strengthen a neck its purpose is to straighten a neck and counteract the string tension. Do not confuse the two. Wood is there to strengthen the neck! Now what was the post about?
