  1. What type of bridge? Couldn't you use the grub screws on a TOM to adjust everything a bit more aggressively?
  2. I have a guitar hear that's got a U-route around the heel, so the acutall heel going into the neck pocket is only about 2/4 the size of a strat heel, or somewhere thereabouts.
  3. Brighter, thinner tone, I would imagine.
  4. 18ga is mighty heavy for a guitar cavity, imho, but you can use it. I rewired my Telecaster and Teisco using 22 guage stranded wire, but I used 18 guage for the bridge-ground connections, because I'm voodoo like that.
  5. And only Esteban guitars use REAL herring bones!
  6. Their fantastical marketing amazes me. I'm compelled to purchase a hunk of plywood so long as it says Gibson!
  7. Interesting note, the Gibson "Spirit" was also a guitar Gibson put out in the 80's. It was a DC LP Junior style guitar with a single humbucker in the bridge, as opposed to the single p90. Oh and since when are low-end epiphones not good enough $150-$200 guitars for beginners?

  9. Yeah, no symmetry. It's just that we're all so used to seeing right handed models and assuming that they are symmetrical, that when you flip it around into a lefty it looks way off. Also, have you noticed that guitars that actually have symmetrical horns look like the upper horn is set too low?
  10. I just copied and pasted the link that was in the HTML you posted. How did you contour the body?
  11. Its just like cutting off a fret to make a short-scale fretboard out of a long scale one...
  12. They're not. They're offset just like the SG horns.
  13. I LOVE that body! I want a guitar version! I'm a sucker for rounded bodies like that, Dangerous horns!
  14. Sweet score! "Attire is Fire" sounds like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Dave Mathews ended up booked in the same studio at the same time.
  15. WHats the difference between a crushed bass in the middle of the road and a crushed guitar in the middle of the road? The guitar has skid marks leading up to it!
  16. Not the greatest idea. Neck pockets are normally given some slack because of the finish on the neck, but finish on the neck + finish in the pocket might be too much.
  17. I don't look at my first build costing more than $200
  18. Or.. you could clear it in nitro or poly if you want a normal" finish.
  19. I say replace the pups and leave the rest the same... the burns and checking gives it character!
  20. I'll pick up a chorus and/or Phaser if the local store gets them in..
  21. I love how huge this thing is. Have to hang it up! No floor stands for this piece of strummin wood.
