    WOW!! i had no idea that there was so much information like that out there. does any one know where or how to get a guitar made of soundcompound or if any one has played one. i am seriously curious as to how this stuff sounds. theoretically it seems superb, but its all in experience....also how do some of you feel about the sound of acrylic guitars. has any one explored the idea of a glass guitar? -RAF EDIT: btw thanks for the links...

    i was just wondering what every ones thougths were on using different materials for guitars. maybe things like acrylic, graphite, carbon fiber, etc. what do you guys think of the tonal properties of these materials and how is their workability? we have an engineering shop at the school that they sometimes allow students to use on individual projects that i might be able to use for sheping of these kinds of things. any one ever think of building a guitar out of metal? i wonder how that would sound? -RAF

    i think every one is entitled to have an opinion and no one should be attacked for having that opinion. i by no means agree with "relic-ing" a new guitar. i think it should be reliced over time through playing and gettin hit against things and whatever else happens while u have the instrument. thats what truly defines the character of YOUR instrument. not what some one has done to it because u want it to look old and weathered. i have an esp flying v ( old style) that i have had for 5 years. that guitar has many a battle scar from shows and just rockin out, but never would i compromise the character of my instrument by relicing it. -RAF

    i want to build a neck through v and i keep coming across the question of how to glue the wings on. i know that on say a strat style guitar you would just cut out the sides and use the would that you cut it out of to put the clamps on so the clamps dont hit the body, but it seems to me that for a v the guitar sould just slide down if you tried it this way. so how would i do that? thanks -RAF

    im not sure that u would get much tonal difference. from my understanding its just a difference in stregth of the tremolo, but my knowledge on this is minimal so i could be worng. -RAF

    i agree completely. i think its lame. and the idea of battle scars makes the guitar yours. its been through something with you, not simulated. -RAF

    It seems to me like this would be a fairly simple task. I have an esp 7 string and an esp flying v 6 string. I wanna convert the 6 string body into a 7 string using the parts from the 7 string that i already have. Is this possible to do? How hard is it? is it worth doing? any input will be appreciated. thanks guys. -RAF

    ok ok i get it...jump down my throught will ya...lol. I have been researching a lot over the past few weeks and i didnt realize that the forum had a search thing. so i will def try it out. The site was very helpful for ideas but there was a lot of gaps in some of the information. And don't worry i intend to do a hell of a lot more research b4 i start even buying wood for it. Some of the stuff I have found doesn't answer some of my questions, but i will check out the search first next time. Thanks for all the input tho i do appreciate it. And thanks for lettin me know that there is a search thing. -RAF
