I might have a schecter revenger 7 I could part with, has an x2n7 in the bridge

I would suggest going head/cab personnally, I have had a rack setup for the past 5 years and it has given me nothing but grief, if you are set on a rack though, I might suggest an engl e530 tube-pre and go with what else you have there, rocktron makes great stuff, but be prepared to go through TONS of menu's to get a decent tone.

Title says it all, I have hipshot 8 string bridge that I have no intention of using, black finish, $70 takes it OBO

no offense, but good luck on fret access above the 15th, but if your doing the work then its your guitar and thats what counts, keep us posted

fretboard secured, lock er up!

new pictures should be pouring in by next week. *crosses fingers*

I agree, there is more information on this site then anybody would need, you just have to SEARCH FOR IT, and if you cant find it, then post.

Im getting ready to make an 8 string guitar so I need a fretboard, Im thinking of doing one of the following woods for my fretboard

rosewood

ebony

cocobolo

ziricote

if anybody has a fretboard blank suitable for 24 frets (pre-slotted) please let me know!

I definatly agree that the design built should be the one steve had planned on building, it just seems more personal that way as for the PG idea, I think that is cool, but maybe some kind of certificate with it that includes all the members who have built, donated or somehow contributed to its construction would be better, unless that is already planned!

^I would play that

but it really doesnt matter what I would play, which one do YOU want to build more, or rather, why not build both?

again I try and bring this thread back from the dead, I have done a little more work on the neck since feb. its ready for shaping, I will post pic's again VERY soon, as Im getting a new camera (i dont like having to borrow my cousins all the time) rest assured though guys, Im not dead and this neck aint either!

dont worry about it too much man, things will pan themselves out.

so how's she playing brian? did you get everything sorted out?

travis this was covered earlier in the thread. "standard" 8 string tuning is F# to E (F#, B, E, A , D, G, B, e) but brian switched it to accept a High A, just a tip for the future read through before posting, other then that welcome to the forum.

also brian, what is your string spacing at the nut and 24? I figured with my measurements its going to be about 2" @ the nut on mine.

Brian congrats on finishing her up, I looks awesome, what height bridge did you use on her though? hipshot makes 2 different ones and Im ordering one in about 2 weeks.

I dont want to deal with the 100 minimum order though

Im just glad that its finally gone

I'll shoot him a pm, see what he says, thanks

I need a swamp ash blank suitable for a SS shaped guitar, thick enough to do a carved top (1 3/4")

that is definatly a path Im going to consider as well, inserts wouldnt be a bad Idea

I have a jackson that I really love, its a dinky and I presently am hot rodding it with a more elaborite wiring setup, pickup covers, custom truss rod covers, etc. the only thing on the guitar that bugs me is the heel on the neck, its huge like a fender strat, I really dont like the feel of it and am planning on shaving it down some, the only thing is I really dont want to ruin this guitar, so my main question is this, will removing 3/16" from the heel of this body make this guitar less stable? I know that jackson make bolt-ons with this already , I just want to do It to my guitar to make the neck access better.

dimarzio x2n or evolutions are very good for metal or hard rock

jeeeebuuuus that's a lot of fretboard overhang! (more so then the neck I never got )

there is a music shop where I live that carries cort, I will see if they can order a m800 tommorow for you.

I would just like to take the time to thank el dangerouso for the great transaction on his g-major, just recieved it today, extremely well packed, and in brand new condition just like he stated, thank you brother!
