Sorry if this has been listed before, i tried serching but nothing really answered my question I've got a humbucker a 3way switch and a volume pot. I've heard that u can get a humbucker so that just the just the front half is on or just the back half and then both, soz don't know the technical talk... so i was hoping for this kind of set up, any ideas on how i would do this, and a wiring diagram would be great if any1 has one at all. Cheers in advanced! Noddy

I've had a strange idea, which, probably wont work... I've been looking at the wah-wah circuit diagram on generalguitargadgets.com and i was thinking that if i was to put that inside the guitar, and have a sliding switch which would control the wah and also a switch to turn it on and off. Or maybe have a sliding push pull switch ( if they even make them...) to turn it on and off and to control the wah. Any opinions, good idea ? bad idea? Cheers Noddy

Hi, ive been looking at the DN2S amd the i was wondering what the switching does on it, so if it does any thing good i want it! Lol. It looks somthing good thst will make people think 'what the hell does that do?!?. Cheers Noddy (Sp ( NOT DRUNK ))

Hi, sorry if something like this has been listed before ( the only one i could find is the on board distortion one ) i was wonderig if any one has had any experience in making there own on board effects, i was thinking along the lines of the ones on axesrus.com but maybe simperler (sp). I'm doing a systems project soon and would really love to do something like this. Also i was thinking of just taking apart a stomp box and sticking it in the back with the push switch at the front with the tone pots and that, probably a bad idea... and size wont be much of an issue as i'm making my own guitar in DT aswell. Any ways Cheers in advance Noddy

Ok, cheers for the help. Now i got that sorted how would i go about installing Ferrules??? Cheers Noddy

I tried seaching for this looooooooooooooooaaaaads and nothing about it came up. I want a natural woody veneer finish, without laquer so would i use something like tung oil??? Is this a good idea. and can it be done? I prefer guitar with a natural finish with no lacquer on it, i just haven't seen any with veneer on them, any ideas? Cheers Noddy

Hi, i'm making and kelly style body out of basswood for a school project soon and i wanted to make it a string thru body, the ones with a LP bridge bit with the strings going into the body. I was wondering would the basswood be able to hold the strings goin thru the body or would i need Ferrules to stop the string rippin thru the body. Sorry if this has been mentioned before but it seems when ever i search for something nothings there!!! Cheers Noddy

Thats sounds pretty cool, il prob alter some of the vive of life templates see what it looks like. I thort of putting a rose with the stem pointing to the headstock but having it flamed maple on an ebony fretboard or maybe the other way round. hmmmm...

I'll think about that one with the < 12 > looks cool, but i was thinking of something more all the way up the fretboard like the vine of life but kind of ... nothing like that lol to flowery for me. Cheers Noddy

My school has on of those fancy pants CAD CAM machines, and im trying to think of a really cool inlay to put on my fretboard, so please post something to get my brain going! I've done a search on inlay pics but didnt come up with much so please forgive me if theres loads of posts on this already Cheers Noddy

I'm making an explorer out of basewood with a maple set neck for a school project coming up i wanted to do a 25.5" scale length with 22 frets. Dose this sound like a good idea to any of you guys??? Im going to have a tune o matic style bridge, just ned to know where to put it and all that jazz... Cheers for the caculator thing by the way big help. Cheers Noddy

Hi another noob question do you have to have a certain scale length for the length of your body or is it just all related to the frets and nut ??? Cheers Noddy

I found the one about retopping a les paul but i cant seem to find one anywhere about making it semi acoustic so i started a new topic maybe be I'm seaching the wrong things. Noddy

Hi, i was thinking of getting my les paul copy body and cutting the top off with a big fat bandsaw and then getting a piece of flamed maple and cut the f shaped holes out in it and sticking the flamed maple on, also making the top flat. I've had a browse inside thru the pickup holes and it looks like i would have to route out the body to make it semi acoustic. Any Ideas??? Cheers Noddy

Hi i was thinking of taking my les paul body i scored off of ebay to a band saw cutting of the entire top and the sticking a flat top on of flamed maple on and the maybe cutting an f shaped hole in it to make it a semi acoustic. Its probably more complicated than i think so any ideas???? Cheers Noddy
