I have very little experience in different pickups and since I've heard so much good about Dimarzio I thought I'd try them. I play a lot of blues but I'm just getting into more stuff like Dragonforce, Vai, and Satriani. The next guitar I want to build I want more of a metal sound. I'm thinking of using an Evo in the neck and a Paf Pro or Paf Joe. Does this sound alright? I'd like some help choosing, because all of the descriptions all sort of sound the same. I play through a Line Six Spider II 112 if that helps. Thanks for the help in advance.

Amish School Shooting
Phont24 replied to !!METAL MATT!!'s topic in Site Feedback, Issue Reporting and Test area
I understand that, but it's just when such an atrocity occurs to a family rationality goes out the window. People are always looking for someone to blame. Similarly families of prisoners on death row suffer quite a bit even though they have had made no transgressions. -
Amish School Shooting
Phont24 replied to !!METAL MATT!!'s topic in Site Feedback, Issue Reporting and Test area
This is just an awful thing that happened, but I also heard one of the most amazing things about this event. The families of the victims went to the family of the mudurer and forgave them that same night. I'm absolutely shocked to think about the level of faith the Amish have that they could forgive the loss of a child without hatred that I'm sure many people would feel. -
Guitar Of The Month For November
Phont24 replied to ProjectGuitar.com's topic in Guitar Of The Month entry/poll archive
The second guitar I've ever built. It is semi-hollow but the top and back are very thick because i was afraid of carving through to the cavities on both sides. This is the first guitar I've built including the neck. Set Neck Nut: Graphite Neck: Maple Fretboard: Cocobolo Tuners: Gotoh Locking tuners Topwood: Purple Heart Middle: Mahogany Back: Red Oak Pickups: Carvin C22s 1 Tone 1 Volume 3 Way selector switch 1 coil tap switch Gotoh Bridge and Tailpice The nice picture was taken by a friend of mine and shows the color more accurately than my cheap digital camera. -
I want to use a Gotoh floyd but i don't know which pickup spacing will match the bridge. I've also seen listings of F-spaced humbuckers. What does F-spaced mean compared to standard?

How Difficult Is It To Build An Rg Style Guitar?
Phont24 replied to Phont24's topic in Solidbody Guitar and Bass Chat
One of my specific concerns is aligning the posts for the floating trem, because i don't have a template which marks the center points of where the holes need to be drilled. -
I've just started listening to Dragonforce (which is an amazing band), and I used to only like LPs and Strats the sorta classic looks but now that I see that one of their guitarists uses an Ibanez RG Prestige I want to build one. I've built 1 guitar which was sort of a strat style with a hardtail bridge purchasing the neck. The second guitar I'm almost done with has a tuneomatic biridge and tailpiece with a set neck that i built. The things I'm concerned with are: 1. Installing and setting up a Floating bridge 2. Aligning everything perfectly (Had some trouble with this on the one in progre

Filling Holes In A Guitar Neck
Phont24 replied to stevenhoneywell's topic in Solidbody Guitar and Bass Chat
A really important warning about drilling and doweling! If the dowel fits very well in the hole, do not put glue on the side of the dowel or else it will be an air-tight seal and no matter how hard you hammer the dowel in it won't go in because the air can't escape from the bottom of the hole. You could use a plug cutter with a matching drill bit to get a very good fit and the grain will be oriented the same way as it is in the neck. I don't have much experience with how much wood moves, but wood does expand and contract and having the same grain orientation wouldn't hurt. -
First i would like to thank everyone for their input. Is the knife edge the part of the bridge which rubs against the posts? What should I look for or be careful of when purchasing a used tremolo?
-
Hi everyone! I'm pretty sure this is my first post and I was wondering which tremolo i should buy. I want to be able to do heavy dives up and down on the tremolo so something like a floyd rose trem, but i don't have the cash for a real one. I'm looking for suggestions or opinions about tremolos which are under about $150, because i don't want to spend more than that. There are floyd licenced bridges for about 100 but i'm suspicious of the quality. I am also interested in the Wilkinson bridges which look nice but i'd like to know if they have the capabilities of a floyd.

1) A 2) C 3) G 4) B 5) I like how a beginner can buy a playable guitar and enjoy it without paying an outrageous price. However, I dislike how simply redoing all of the solder joints can greatly improve the sound. I hate how companies disregard the little things which could improve their product immensely. It's general construction that needs to be improved.

Best Way To Trim Fingerboard Blank
Phont24 replied to Deadwood jack's topic in Solidbody Guitar and Bass Chat
I wasn't too confident with my wood working skills so what I did after i glued the oversized blank to the neck was use the band saw to remove the majority of the overhang then use a surform rasp to clean it up with long strokes. At least this way you don't have to worry about extreme chipout like with the router, and it doesn't take too long it only took me about .5 an hour to get the edges flush. You just have to be very careful to keep the surform level or else the side of your fretboard won't be perpendicular to the face. -
