    update: got hot rod and ordered the hipshot bridge so no need for the floyd, starting this monster in a few weeks
  2. goth_fiend
    awesome design, but im not a fan of the top wood you used, looks nasty to me, but i like the guitar!
  3. goth_fiend
    what size truss rod should i use for this guitar guys, will i be able to get away with a standard 18" rod or should i go for a 24"?
  4. goth_fiend
    no i wont be doing fanned frets on this guitar, and that ibanez is super sweet, it has a fixed 8 string edge on it which was where I got the idea for the floyd, and as for vocational schools i will check that out as well! meshuggah are awesome
  5. goth_fiend
    no problem man, so i finally settled on a design though, it will be based off of a conklin but with a heavily quilted top with trans purple, blue or green this is the url for it http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-11/893...itar7.jpg\ now do you guys think that i should go with black or chrome hardware?
  6. goth_fiend
    jer, i can *possibly* get a scan of what ive done so far by the end of the week, it has all the dimensions on it that i will need, if you could get that done, that would be absolutly awesome! Pm me later this week and we'll talk about it. and alexander, jammy owns one, ask him
  7. goth_fiend
    i already stated it would be tuned to F#, A, E, A, D, G, b, e wes!
  8. goth_fiend
    perhaps i should have reworded that, i meant the .58 for the A string not the F#!
  9. goth_fiend
    me, i guess im not all up on the digital age yet, i use paper and pencils to plan a new project!
  10. goth_fiend
    thats what i figured i would have to do, but only on the F# string, i dont think i will have to drill out for a .58 will I?
  11. goth_fiend
    they work for me, but after the initial ***? its looks kinda cool, but very wierd!
  12. goth_fiend
    neal still does man!
  13. goth_fiend
    you could do that, or you could mount the 2 extra tuners on the back of the body and have ferrules going in the neck (old school bc rich, neal moser way) sounds kinda cool, but I will take my 8 anyday! (f# and B strings, fagettaboutit!)
  14. goth_fiend
    kinda reminds me of lgms guitars, looks cool though! i want to see it when its done
  15. goth_fiend
    now that im starting to get a clearer picture of what all is going to be in this guitar, what color hardware do you guys think i should use, its going to be having a quilt top with a trans blue/green/black/violet finish, i was thinking either black or or gold, also with the tuning machines, will i have to buy 2 extra E string tuners or what will i have to do>?
  16. goth_fiend
    thats about what i figured, thanks lgm. also about pickups, i know you used dc45's on jammy's 8 but is that all thats available is emg's?i have contacted seymour duncan and they said they could build them, they just perfer not to, i dont blame them right now 8's are a niche market!
  17. goth_fiend
    well according to my estimations, that would be a 2" nut spacing, sounds kinda small! another question guys, how will i go abouts calculating the scale length? i have wfret and of coarse it does not have anything like that, and i plan on using a 27" scale length.
  18. goth_fiend
    well, that makes perfect sense, thats what i did when i designed my bridge for it, now i just have to have it cnc'ed out! anybody know who would be able to do it for cheap? I have a technical drawing of what i need, all measurements, etc but i havent done cad before so i would have to have that done as well before it was milled, damned 8 string floyd rose!!!
  19. goth_fiend
    believe me rhoads i am looking, but theres not a heck of a lot info out there on 8 string electrics that i have found
  20. goth_fiend
    well i am figuring that the string spacing at the bridge is about 3 1/16ths would that be about right guys?
  21. goth_fiend
    guys im getting ready to draw up plans for an 8 string guitar but I dont have a clue what the standard string spacing is at the nut? im assuming that its around 2 3/8"? jeremy if I was tuned to F# (A,E,A,D,G,B,E) what would be a "normal" spacing? ( i ask this because of the underabundance of 8's!)
  22. goth_fiend
    looking awesome man, that tear-out sucks though man, never had that problem myself, but i havent dealt with figured woods yet so heres to the best!
  23. goth_fiend
    you should also look into neal mosers booster switch, its a 10x gain boost unit, so whatever your using is going to get a bit of omph!
  24. goth_fiend
    looks pretty cool man, but that things going to weigh a ton!
  25. goth_fiend
    60 more cd's to go, and its lookin pretty good thus far man, if it needs ferrules man just do it, its not that tough to do and better sustain!
