Ibanez RG 1570

Douglas TR-FR

Crafter acoustic

ive heard they actually sound good, that the pickups are really pretty nice but the fret edges are like razors.

solid black on back and sides and a butterscotch top, i would try to rub burst it, my 2 cents.

tip for breaking past "Bess" go to altavista.com click translate website, spanish to english then you can go to your site , i use this all the time so i can check my mail and ebay during school hours.

the bridge is drilled , it was in the mock up, all those holes are for switches controlling the pickups.

take a closer look buddy, its bound, you can see it at the upper horn against the wood. i think thats the same guitar.

i kinda like how they look, especially that jackson, its like one of those relics where its had 15 paint jobs over eachother then its worn thats wat it looks like to me, that or an acid trip.

they could be banging against the frets, mine were, you'd need to level your frets if this is the case, if your pickups have adjustable screws you could put them closer on B and e. thats all i can think of right now

i believe that body is by "flying" guitars, they do tons of copies of ibanez, jackson even parker, they and their parts are sold all over ebay

i may simplify it, nock it down to the 3 way and the booster but ill have the switches there any way, just for the look, kind of like hetfield's truckster.

i think you might get in trouble for the number of pics, but most importantly, it looks great, good job.

ok, back on topic, this is a cleaned-up version of the retroid, ive decided to do the retroid because i think it might be easier to do a front routed guitar for my first one, some specs, a carvin neck (not pictured), bridge-super 2, neck-evolution, brige is a fender style hardtail, 2 volumes, one tone, and a gain boost circuit, then the one switch is a 3 way and the other 2 are another boost circuit ( IM CA-RRRRRAAAAAAZYYYYYY) then the two on the upper wing are different combos for each pickup (full, split,out of phase), i think it will be made out of ash, ok now lemme know what you think now that you know more and theres a better pic, thanks.

not digging the headstock, but you hid your repairs well, good job.

its all in good fun people, im not tryin to be an A-hole....spaghetti for fretwire? thats just silly.I think its kind of dumb to make your own stain when companies do it better and cheaper.

ignorance is bliss, well when you dont know what bad food coloring looks like and you use some on your cake and get all sick and loose your legs, dont come crawling back to me.

Before some one tells me to search i have been looking for the last half hour, so shh. I was wondering how to install the neck ferrules, like how deep to drill for the ferrules, what type of bit, etc, if it has been covered just post a link. i was planning on building a guitar and a neck plate really doesnt fit into its design so im going with these, thanks.

  I think I need to curve my Hooks A bit more like this!

I like the concept but i think you should angle out the wings a bit more, it looks kind of like a broom IMO, but it is for you and if it fits your style, go for it.

what would happen? does food coloring break down or fade or what?

it started out so simple, all i wanted was some comments on my guitar concepts then it turned to algebra then time travel a thread can change winds pretty easily.

but i wouldn't fit in. if you have ever seen back to the future you'd get my drift.if i was born there, it'd be great,but i dont want to go back to then because, i'd miss the internet and video games and coke in more than 8 oz. increments.

what most people do is drill it all out and just "clean up" with the router, so if you have a drill press, put it to use.

LP had my vote, looks like rhoads and mattia are really dukin this one out!

i dont like it, it reminds me of a tiesco or harmony, i think you should either shrink the cutaway or make the top a little bigger, it just looks unbalanced also i think the headstock needs to be re shaped, i think it looks too much like the paddle headstocks that come on DIY necks. all my opinion, you like what you like.

im not looking to get his sound cause i dont have a couple grand to toss at a carvin, but i was curious how he did it, now i know, thanks everybody.

i thought this was an english-speaking site and as for no video games, internet, etc, if we never had them we wouldnt miss them, like time travel, i dont miss it.
