  1. Hey Bro. Its alittle to small mate. Good try thou mate... See if you could make it bigger.
  2. Hey Thats totally awesome. I reakon we sbhould have a father son build of comp. I will put up some toneriders as the prize or something... I couldnt win it cos i only have a 18 month old little girl. Put still that is an awesome built. Good on you.
  3. Hey Bro Get a neck blank from ebay, stu mac or Jon here on the forum. it is dead easy really. Cheers
  4. I love a well build PRS. I am building a hollow body PRS Custom 22. Jaycee is right, you should enter guitar of the month. Its a good feeling to know that you can make your own neck. Its a even better feeling to know you can make your own fretboard with your own scale! I am build a fretboard with 25.25 Scale... I love the wood you have used... Maybe a danish oil finnish? Cheers
  5. Build a Strat!. Strats are fun to build. I have built both Les Pauls and Strats and i must say Strats are easier to build. I am not talking about buying the neck and body and just slapping it together. Although i have done that to and the instrument was awesome. IF you are going to use pre made bodies etc make sure you use good hardware. I like Gotoh tunners and wilkinson bridges and a good nut. Guitars can rise and fall on hardware. I hope i have been some help.
  6. Hey there Guys. I have a load of new pickups for sale on ebay. Check it out here. Today i will also list some used fender, ibanez, kent armstrong and semyour duncan pickups at $1 res. Also i have a wilkinson dealers price list if insterested please PM. Kind Regards
  7. If its an ash body then it will go very well. Cheers
  8. Kent Armstrong single coils are by far there best pickups. I know the Texas ones are very good. There tweed ones are right up there to. I think you will get a good strat sound from them. I am not sure if having mahogany for your body will help you in getting that classic strat tone... I know that alot of pickguards have the ali shielding but i am not sure about using it for the cavities...
  9. PRS Singlecut, i had one and it was the best guitar i hvae ever played. But i had a delux strat USA model and it was a honey to....
  10. The problem being is that on the side the crack is zig zaged its not a easy crack to deal with. Would the waxy wedge idea work still work?
  11. Hey Guys. I have got a fender headstock that was smashed into a wall. There is a crack that runs to the bottom tuning peg. Its on both sides and down the side and in the tuning peg hole. I have a photo here. I have been asked to repair it but i dont think the crack is in a place were it will not receive alot of stress and if i put to much pressure on it opening it up to put some glue in, it will just break of. Any suggestions? Cheers
  12. Mate that is beautiful. How much does somehting like that cost?
  13. Phew my customer has changed his mind. thanks for the info. I might make it a personal project. He wants a good old 4 string bass. Here are the woods we are looking to use. swamp ash body, bubinga top (how does this wood sound, the customer likes the look), flamed maple neck and zebrawood fretboard. Loads of fun for everyone.
  14. Hi Guys, I have loads of Kent Amrstrong pickups for sale. I also have other stuff on there. Click Here
  15. Hey Ducati Your designs look cool. I would be interested in your designs. PM me.
  16. Hey there I am after some swamp ash blanks, pm if you have some you want to sell. Cheers
  17. No worries about hipshots as i am a dealer. Yeah i am having second thoughts about this. maybe a neck thru would be easier.
  18. All Right, i have a massive change. I have a friend who wants a 7 string bass... We have the design of it, but i am wondering about the thickness of the neck (is it playable), and where am i going to find a 7 string bridge. I will get Kent Armstrong to custom make the pickup. Has any one here attempted to build a beast like this?
  19. Thanks Guys Hey doug i will try that zerbawood and stiffen it. BTW do you sell fretboards?
  20. i saw some zebrawood on ebay, i like it. http://stores.ebay.com/California-Guitar-Builders-Paradise Has anyone dealt with them here?
  21. Click here to see. I am selling up my online shop. Anyone interested PM me.
  22. Hi guys, I am almost finnished my custom guitar i am building for myself. I have a red beach laminated with mahogany in the neck. The body is mahogany and maple cap, semi hollow body. But i am at odds with what type of wood i should use for my fretboard. I work in a joinery factory so getting wood isnt a problem but what is an out standing fretboard wood other then the standard Ebony, rosewood and maple? I want to try something totally different form those three woods.
