Very intersting design.
-
I've done recessed TOM bridges. Godin builds their LGX guitar this way as well. No neck angle. Seems more comfortable to play that way.
-
Ouch! that sucks. Better a pencil line than a glue line, but still, that must have been frustrating. I took a break from building guitars and I'm getting back into it and all the mistakes I'm doing now were things that I had learned not to do...

Looking For Some Telecaster Plans

I used "Sheduah" wood for the fingerboard on one of my projects. Worked out real well. Very stable, no fret movement and looks like IMO.
-
What did the customer think of the glue lines at the neck joint? Other than that, it looks like a real nice guitar. I like the idea of using a different wood for the top.

HA HA HA COOL ! & into the bookmarks that goes. There is a lydian music school over here in dublin Glad you like the geets, Have a very cool pair of Jems in the works just now that I will be putting up soon, Kinda like your evil twin explorers. I have to revive the mahogany/lacewood Jem thread I decided to complete. I'd love to see yours.

Don't laugh. Martin has released a really nice acoustic with a plywood neck.
-
Hey paulie - like your guitar website. You're Aeolian, I'm Lydian LOL! www.lydian.ca
-
In the end, its all about personal preference. Good luck with your design!
-
I would guess that it sounds thin like..... tin?
-
The Razor neck puts a new meaning in "playing 'til your fingers bleed" LOL!
-
Calling the neck a "Razor" doesn't seem like a good marketing strategy IMO. Ouch! For the thickness, I don't see the point of doing anything like this. I'm probably too much a of a practical guy.

Tele Vs Strat Neck Width @ Heel
guitar2005 replied to guitar2005's topic in Solidbody Guitar and Bass Chat
To me, it sounds like a strat neck heel would would better with the tele bridge. -
I'm a little confused here. I always assumed that a Tele bridge was narrower than a Strat bridge since the neck heel of a Telecaster is narrower than a Strat. I start looking at detailed specs for bridges and lo and behold, tele bridges have a wider string span than Strats. I'm not a Tele expert or anything but doesn't that make the tele more prone to having the strings slip off the edge of the fretboard? Sounds like a wider neck (like a Strat) would be a great idea for the telecaster... Am I missing something real obvious here?

Starting Out - 1st Guitar, 2nd Planned
guitar2005 replied to Joshua E. Horn's topic in Solidbody Guitar and Bass Chat
Hope you have fun! I took a break and I'm getting back into things. -
Hey! You're the guy from the Parker Forum. People worship you over there!
-
Anyone have some? I also need some Strat templates.
-
So what's this Lex Luthier method?
-
When do you need this for? I could build you a neck blank with truss rod. You shape the neck profile (with a single rasp) the way you like it and glue on your fingerboard.
-
I've done this, but I'm in Canada. I'm sure that there a lot of people here that could do this for you. Have you considered getting a new, custom neck made instead? It probably would cost much more and you get to keep your original neck.
-
I have a Dimarzio Tone Zone with a broken coil I was unable to fix (can't really re-wind PUs myself right now). Let me know if you want it via PM
-
I like the explorer but the V just looks wrong with no headstock. Have you thought of doing a steinberger strat style instead?
