  1. keep the belt fixed, and move the table up and down. thats a for sure.
  2. i Use Power tools all day at work, i would be lost with out them, but what i was saying is.... making one guitar with only hand tools is what i want to do. I like the idea of putting my all into it. having a guitar thats all me.
  3. Thats how to do it. and like i had said in other posts hand plans work well too, just takes some time and practice to get it down. for the time it would take to sand an edge you could do 100 edges with a hand plane.
  4. Whats that In USD ? i would say that gap you have is kinda big. and you can set up a router to edge joint.
  5. whats wrong with hand planes ?? does no one do all the work by hand anymore ? i mean 100% hand tools. No Power what so ever. ????? My Next Guitar is going to be all done with out power tools. i think it will add to the guitar, for me that is. to anyone else the guitar will be the same. but the hard work, and time and the detail. it's all worth it.
  6. i just spent 350 canadain dollars on the parts and the wood for my guitar. i work at a cabinet shop, so i don't pay for tools. and i think i might get someone to finish for me, i think the cost of finishing will be more then $300, plus i don't know what i'm doing and would hate to mess it up and have to spend more on it. but i really want to finish it myself, just to say i did. but all in all i'm looking at say 600 - 800 Canadian after all is said and done (with out a hardcase)
  7. the only thing is.. this guitar came with active pickups, and built in effects. thats what all the extra holes are for. i think it had 1 vol. 2 tone. 1 pick up select. and 3 effects. auto wha, over drive and chorus i think. and the inlay, so it can't be that guitar. but close. i think it was a costom RGX 112, because the body is the same, and the head is the same. same to a T. i wish now i would have looked a bit harder before i did all the work on it. but i'm almost 100% sure it didn't have any markings on it at all. all i know is it was pink, and had yamaha pickups.
  8. That looks like it, and the extra holes are because, it had built in effects. but the reason i got the guitar was beacsue it was droped and broken, and the effect boards got crushed, and the switches broke off. so i re wired it with only a vol. But thats the Guitar, 100%
  9. it has nothing on it. the only thing that holds a name or anything is the pickups, and the just say yamaha.
  10. it's missing in that pic, i have now put it back, and replaced the bridge pick up with one i got off ebay. i have one active pickup (the yamaha) and one thats not. i don't know if it really works that way, but i get sound out of both of them, and it does the job.
  11. Don't know the Model # don't think it ever had one on it, come to think of it, it might not even be a yamaha, it just might have yamaha pickups.
  12. i know it's a yamaha, but no idea what modle it is, i checked out yamaha guitars online a few times, but didn't find anything thats came close.
  13. i got this guitar from my brother, who got it at a garage sale a few years back. i cleaned it up, and repainted it. it was pink before, i think. all i know is it's a yamaha, but no idea what model. if anyone has ssen a guitar like this one or owns one like it, please tell me what it is.
  14. i don't know what i'm going to do to deal with the weight, but i don't want to do anything to the top, i got it just the way i want it. i was thinking of doing something on the back side, any ideas ? i hope it looks good, i spent almost a year thinking about building a guitar, and sketching out ideas. and thats the one that jumped out for me. i want to start my next one asap. wanted to get a nice piece of flame maple for the top, and some alder for the body, i think that should help with the weight a bit. and i have to say that bllod wood for a fret board is killer.
