bob123 replied to thegarehanman's topic in The Marketplace
You need to advertise on sevenstring.org too. -
I decided to keep the avante garde down and am going with a normal, ibanez headstock Ill post pictures tomorrow.
-
Ah, I see now. You're not simply cutting body shapes out here haha. Use and application ignorance, my bad
-
I guess I don't understand yet. My Craftsman bandsaw is old and massive and seems to work well on everything I put through it. Just for curiousities sake, what does a 3000$ band saw have that a 500$ one doesnt?
-
haha, I got all my stuff used, so I guess Im basing my opinions on the used market
-
Hey dude, no worries haha. Im in south west michigan.
-
Why NOT go craftsman? O.o top notch stuff, fraction of the cost youre looking at spending.

currently working on another build, and dabbling at headstock ideas. Im doing a hardtail JS style with 3 single coil pups. Body blanks are being glued up right now specs : - Crotch walnut top, flame maple back, but will be rounded into each other, so the flame maple will poke out the sides, it looks good in my head anyway... - walnut/tigerwood/walnut neck, with tigerwood fretboard -Hardtail -S/S/S pup config -individual mini toggles, master volume, master tone heres my crappy mockup, I had to us MSPAINT to use it, dont have any fancy photo editing software... guess my question, does the PRS headstock look out of place? I think it suits the build, but other eyes on it is always welcome in my book. Be brutal here, I wont get offended rsonally!

Dude... I LOVE the red.....
-
Was thinking lately, not much free time to do actual work... was wondering about a neck that rotates around for ergonomic effect. I was thinking individual saddles that are staggered and rotated. Any ideas for a nut? Anyone do this before?
-
I must say dude, when you update, you dont mess around!! Love the binding jig too, awesome to see the build of that as well.
-
I own a couple guitars with a hipshot tremolo, works great... I have a suggestion for you though, if its for your own custom build, take a look at these : http://www.guitarfetish.com/USA-Strat-2-point-Hardened-Steel-GOLD-Tremolo-System_p_777.html# GREAT value for money and they are seriously well built.
-
That is a NICE hunk of wood!!! How much did that freakin cost? O.o
-
thats a **** ton of fret wire haha. cool idea with the trem post grounding idea, never seen that before.
-
haha, now heres a new one to me...
-
You could align the strings to coincide with the bolt holes
-
Like this lol
-
For a cosmetic standpoint alone, Id say do stringers. It seems to give it more a sleek, racing stripe vibe.
-
My hats off to you sir, this build is just incredible... GOTM for sure haha
-
Not that often,but it pays to have a softer tone for cleans if you need it indeed. Im all about tone versatility where you can have it. p.s. that coffee looks amazing! Is that keurig or something?
-
Its your guitar dude, Im simply offering 2 cents on things I may do A switch would be great, and if I were building a build on my own, its what I would do, but as a tribute, Id like to keep it as close as possible really. Another thing I would think about, is how often are you really gonna use that coil tap on a 1 pup guitar? lol
-
That looks great! haha. I LOVE the blue burst, not typical, and came out better then I would expect!
-
I think it would look a bit out of place. Push-pull pot imo! If you go that route, Id use a mini toggle to keep the profile low. Just my 2 cents theres also this... http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/accessories/triple-shot-mou/triple_shot_swi/ That said, Im going to be experimenting with wood impregnation soon. Super thinned out epoxy (thinking 1-4 ratio, will take forever to cure, but it would definitely get in deeper) with vacuum bagging. Might make some otherwise unusable woods, usable (REDWOOD!!!!!!!!).
-
Perhaps once you do a finish on the guitar it will make it much less noticeable? For the trem cavity, you could also do a switch plate cover with a contrasting wood, that always looks nice. worse comes to worse... http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk166/Slav123/1992%20S540%20LTD%20Sabre%20Custom/DSC01063.jpg you can do it like that!

Hey dude, that looks pretty badass! I love the classic super strat, 80's power rock guitars. You staining the mahog or goin au'natural?
