On the Steinberger list, it's been mentioned that on some necks, the frets are loose, but IIRC, they're good about replacements.

centi often confused with centa, which is used for .01, like in centameter. centimeter is actually 100 meters, while centameter is 1/100th of a meter. i do believe...been a long time since latin lessons... Um, it must have been a long time http://www.merriam-webster.com/mw/table/metricsy.htm hecto seems to be be *100.

This is an interesting read, hopefully it hasn't been posted before in this thread : http://www.woodworking.org/WC/Garchive01/3_27colorants.html

Or you can type Alt-0181 -> µ http://www.starr.net/is/type/altnum.htm

Quick search: http://dbhs.wvusd.k12.ca.us/webdocs/Metric...c-Prefixes.html milli -> 10^-3 micro -> 10^-6 pico -> 10^-12

Whoa! That wood looks kinda like lung tissue or something from an autopsy . It creeped me out at first glance. I think it'll look better with a finish on it .

Heh... good vibrations . http://www.learnclassicalguitar.com/trill.html

Um, I suppose you could... but it's generally with one hand (fretting hand.) I'll upload an example if you want.

I'm using westhemann's post as a template I too describe myself as a hobbist. I have either assembled, modified, repaired or painted many personal guitars. I loved mixing and matching parts that didn't belong together . I have replaced the electronics (pick-ups/pots, etc.) on nearly all guitars I've ever owned. I have refretted guitars only twice and I have scalloped a total of three necks. I plan to make my first "from scratch" guitar(s) this year after accruing much info from this site over the past months I've been here. but in the mean time I've been having fun buying cheap guitars and fixing them up . I don't have any pics of my past work as I have sold most of them . As for sound clips... here's a video of my old band from about 1994, song is called Broken Glass (sorry, it's nearly 10 MB and you'll need Window Media Player version 9 to view it.) As of this post I am 37, semi-"retired" (meaning work is hard to come by ) computer programmer. I have a BS from OSU (Oregon, not Ohio ) and got about half way through a Master's before I realized that computers are evil . I am currently living in Westchester, NY (although I long to move back to the NW.) I have been playing guitar since I was 16. My family was also poor when we first moved to the USA but once my parents started a business, they put me to work starting at about age 9(?) so by the time I was 16, I went guitar crazy!!! I love headless guitar designs so my first and most probably subsequent "from scratch" guitars will be decapitated .

Audacity doesn't sound any better (or worse) than Kristal, at least on my computer. Hmm... I wonder why you're getting such varied sound quality with the different programs . You're running the programs on the same computer, with the same sound card using the same drivers?

Audacity is capable of multi-tracking ... and it is much less resource intensive than Kristal on my laptop (PIII 900 Mhz, 512MB) with the stock soundcard. I'm too cheap to buy a better pcmcia card at this point .

It's still there: http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.ph...indpost&p=93357 I remember it because the bitrate was so high!

Hmm... since you say some mp3 encoders you've tried sounds good but have a time limit and you say there are some that sound bad but I'm assuming do not have a time limit, I wonder what bitrate the mp3's are encoded at. I seem to recall that that short sample mp3 you put up a while ago was encoded at 320kb/s. Perhaps instead of a time limit, the bad sounding encoders impose a bitrate limit.

Whoa! He even looks kinda like Michael Hedges!

Nitro!!!

Not bad at all! I'm surprised the inlays survived the surgery .

Wow! You should report them to someplace like OSHA or whatever the Canadian equivalent is.

The Acoustic Power site I posted above has a whole section for Carcassi: http://www.acousticpower.com/carcassi.html Sor and Tarrega pieces are present but not as well represented as Carcassi .

If you use PowerTab, check out the Acoustic Power repository. There's a whole section for classical style. The first classical piece I learned was Bouree in Em by Bach. Well, I first learned the Yngwie version by ear and eventually learned to play it correctly with the sheet music . There are a lot of simple Bach pieces which sound pretty cool on guitar.

I wish I had a Gittler You can download the patent info (cool drawings.) I linked to them in this thread: http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.php?showtopic=4327

Have you tried asking on the Carvin forum?

I haven't d/l-ed it to check it out but it's here: http://www.powertabs.net/pta.php?page=song,5179

Yeah, I peed in the fishtank and clogged the toilet on my way out .

The first one reminds me of the Neal Schon guitar from the 80's: http://www.edromanguitars.com/guitar/home_sch.htm

The drums do sound pretty realistic ... sounds good!
