Strange Fruit

No pics man

oh and sorry, its a sixpence, not a half penny

Three times last week, i either: glued two fingers together, glued three fingers together, or glued two fingers to the back of a neck. Be careful. It really sucks having to cut a layer of skin off to remove yourself from a customers guitar.

Woah, put that knife down mate.

There is a MUCH easier and much more painless way to do this. Coke.

if you get your fingers stuck together, stick them into some coke or cola and magically they come apart!

seriously.

Maybe not so useful on a guitar neck, but hey, it saves some skin!

Matt

Any who, burns tri-sonics will get you started!

yeah,but how will those work for a metal sound?

sorry, i didnt notice the metal distortion bit

i which case, yep wes is right here.

For true brian tone, you need Burns Tri-sonics, wired in series, through on-offswitches and phase switches.

and a stack of Vox AC 30's

and a treble booster

and a British Half Penny form BEFORE decimalisation, which if i remember history right, was 1971?????

Any who, burns tri-sonics will get you started!

Matt

so is it Matt Fruit?

Erm, yeah, why not...

well, actually, no but hey, i like the sound of Mr Fruit. kind of gives me a fake sense of authority

Matt

A.K.A Mr Fruit

Ok ok how about this one? this should do the trick:

2vol 2 tone for sure!

delete the coil split...take those 2 wires and solder them to each other as shown for the neck pickup

Hmm, most have posted at the same time, and mines better anyway

Just yankin your chain Wes (Man, that sounds SO bad... )

Matt

except that yours only has one tone

Weird, im sure the seymour summary said 2 vol and 2 tone, meh, Wes' (for now)

Hi

I think this would help you:

Lap steel tutorial

its a six stringer, but it will probably help you in some way!

Good luck!

Matt

woah, didnt realise this was from 2002, it was at the top of the page!

I cant see anyothers than the bog standard ones

Matt

Woah

That is just divine!

The Limba just came out so well!

need to get me some of that stuff.

I also like your small refined Logo.

Matt

P.S wow, 2 gorgeous guitars in a row! your a machine!

Hey

Firstly, try a quick search, been discussed a few times before

http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.ph...wtopic=6514&hl=

I think that is the better one

Read through it, it trells you a lot about what you need to know.

Matt

check this out for an SG

Yea, that is sweet.

Was it Crash who did this one? i know he did the grafitti strats for clapton, but did he do this one aswell?

sorry for the off topic question.

Anyway, SG or LP?

Which do you prefer? after all, its you who is building it, and you who is going to be playing it.

an SG might be easier, but both have their own pitfalls.

but if you have the patience and determination, either should be possible.

just so you know, i havent built any guitars yet, so take my advice with a pinch of salt!

Matt

For the sound, listen to the first track of the second disc of Pink Floyd's "The Wall". Good sound to it, it will tell you what you need to know.

I think you will find its called Hey You, and bass was played by guitartist Dave Gilmour and not their bass player Roger Waters.

anyway, fretless is great fun to play, but i only played a lined on.

I loved it!

Matt

See i told ya

really quick job from ages ago..hows abouts this

(excuse the **** quality )

Now that i like.

Wonder what it would look like with inverted colours...

Go on Dan, you know you want to invert those colours!

This piece of wood in my floor has been bugging me for a while.

Man, thats a nice floor board.

I hate it when i go to the Tidy Tip and there is thjis guy chucking a mahogany dressing table into the crushing machines.

It nearly made me cry

Matt

what about taking out all the electronics, taking your bandsaw, doing two little cuts, so that it looks like this:

Or then swap over the wings, a reversed X-plorer. now that would be cool!

triple neck? hmm, possibly, but maybe a bit over the top.

but seriously a jem themed Explorer (arent thay now X-Plorers???) would be pretty kool.

I got Explorer plans some where... hmm, i think i know what Im goping to be doing over summer

Not just PINK Matt ....... but swirled pink.........and GREEN!

of course, thats where im going wrong!
