have you looked threw the dark star gallery? they rip off bc rich! they have 2 guitars that are almost exactly like the bc rich worlock and beast go ahead look in their gallery!

i did send an emial it was dienied, he said his book was out of print and that was final

thank you and about the hipshot bridge, it would be easier but i want a huge challenge and the single string bridge on an angle like this would be awsome and i would have my dream guitar! and .... I LOVE NOVAX AND CONKLIN GUITARS! and when i get my bridge i will post again for your guy's help thanks to everyone.

there is no need to be snotty

and another thing i plan on making a multi scale fanned fret guitar, i know this is hard and i've never have made a guitar before but i have confidence that i can do it. and i have many resources to help me i.e.: many books and internet and this site. so please help me out and dont mock me.

for one, you dont need to mock me(dear lord). for 2 i'm using abm's single string bridges, i'm new to this but i love music and i love to build things so really there is no need to insult me.

i have another question how do i figure string spacing?

alright i measured a 6 string then a seven string and added the difference to the the 7 string. I came up with 2 1/8 at the nut and and 3 1/8 at the end of the neck. but here's what the guy from lgm said "Measure the distance between the strings on any guitar, take that number times 7 spaces, plus the width on each edge and there is your nut width, if I remember correctly the Leviiiathan's are about 2 3/4" or 2 7/8" wide at the nut, I can't remember for sure though. I just know at the 24th fret that the board is 3 1/8" wide." can anyone with a eight string or anyone that has built an eight string help me out with the dimmensions?

my eight sting pickup is a emg-45cs and they are accually 6 string bass pickups and i want 2 pickups with a 3 way selector switch and emg does show it b/c they are bass pickups. they are also active. does anyone know how to wire this?

i know many people use the emg-45dc but has anyone used the emg-45cs?

i agree i think you'll get the best sound out of a sure sm57 or 58 with an condesor further away!

One wire joins the beginning of the coil, and one joins the end of the coil. The beginning is usually the ground, the end is usually the hot. Nice and simple. ← hwo is this done with a shielded wire? or a bare?

i know its been talked about but it's still unclear to me where do the wires go that come from the pickup? is it like before you start winding you put a wire from the begining and one at the end of the wind? someone please help me! or is this more clear where do the wires from the pickup come from?

i know many people have posted on this topic but they all say go to jason lollar's site and get his book but his book is no longer inprint. I could really user some help and does anybody have his book and no longer use it? i would be willing to buy it from them!

are you sure beccause look at this site http://www.frets.com/FRETSPages/Luthier/Lu...qa.html#Flaming maple

i was wondering does anyboy know how to make maple flamed or quilted or do you just have to buy it that way....this may be a stupid question....

i was wondering does anybody know if i can use purple heart wood to make a fret board? i would use ebony but the dealers i go threw dont have any and i love the color of purple heart!

i know i already made a post but does anyone have any advice for me? I mean an eight string guitar! they are quite rare.javascript:emoticon('')

For my firsrt guitar i want to build a 8 stering b/c i love em and can't possible afford one and i love to build things. i measured the nut on my 6 and 7 stringa and added the difference the nut on the 8 string should be 2 1/8 and teh end of the neck should be 3 1/8. i'm getting the bridge from hipshot and i plan on making my own pickups with the pickup winder i made i have soem great literature on the subject of building guitars the book is called "building electric guitars: by martin koch. I really wanted to make everything from scratch but dont have the machines to do so so i'm doiing what i can from scratch.
