    Warmoth (no "u") has a 22/24 fret ext. fingerboard neck here. I believe it'll fit on a standard 25.5" scale body.

    Hey, no problem... the more, the merrier. Yeah, but it'd give you a chance to show-off, er, showcase your playing . Actually, my exposure to the Roland synths is from the 80's. I'm curious as to how the modern incarnation sound (better tracking, etc.)
  3. jbkim
    Heh, I meant what's the name of the piece . It sounds kind of like Fernando Sor. Yeah, me too (although my playing sounds like a very sloppy Al DiMeola with a touch of Yngwie just for the annoyance factor ) What are you radiusing the fretboard to? Are you just going by feel? I started out on Classical guitar so I love wide and flat necks. I want to re-radius my necks to a 20" radius but it'd be difficult to find matching bridges and nuts (floyd's.)

    Hi there hyunsu. I'm Korean too but I'm in New York . There are instructions to build your own radius block in the tutorial section. And yes, I agree with krazyderek, the classical guitar music is a nice touch. What's the name of it?

    Hmm... I haven't bothered signing up but it looks like it's Windows only... which won't help me 'cause I'm using NetBSD (or sometimes Linux) nowadays.

    Oooh, yes! Fantastic! I love headless guitars. Glad to see more of them .

    Hey jonbondy, I'm the one from the steinberger list that pointed you to projectguitar.com. How about posting a sound clip?
  8. jbkim
    Yeah! Finally got it Sounds great!

    If you're unix savy, you can check out FreeShell.org. From their donate page: "users (free) 20mb home, 20mb web, 20mb mail"

    Damn! Still doesn't work for me... tried it in three different browsers too (IE, Mozilla, Opera)... ugh, yahoo must not like me
  11. jbkim
    Hmm... link's not working for me.

    ...and do a pretty good job of it The guitar sux but the electronics are pretty cool. You should check it out.

    you could use a mandolin truss rod, i think they are 12" long Ooh! Good idea! Hmm... Stew Mac seems to have a 8-3/8" for a standard 14-1/8" mandolin scale... perhaps a mandola instead? Don't know where to find one of those, anyone?
  14. jbkim
    Will you be making this a short-scale, around 19" or 20"? I want to make a headless one along these lines but I wondered what to do about a short scale truss rod. Please post if you find a such a truss rod or if you modify a full scale one.

    I like the [ ii, V, I ] turn-arounds to practice key changes, i.e., [Am7, D7, Gmaj7] - [Gm7, C7, Fmaj7] - [Fm7, Bb7, Ebmaj7] - etc.

    This sounds similar to the photon system that I remember from the 80's but that was (is?) for midi.
  17. jbkim
    Very very cool! Hmm... Brian hasn't chimed in on this thread. Might be worth coordinating with him to get it in the tutorial section as bowser suggested. I for one would like to see more of what jrhilton has to offer. Good job jrhilton!

    Cool! I don't have any specific questions but I do find the subject very fascinating. I've seen many websites featuring composite instruments but I have yet to see a build site on it. I for one would love to learn about such techniques either on your separate website or integrated into projectguitar.com. Oh, maybe I do have a question. I always wondered how those ugly Basslab instruments are made. They won't say . My guess is they use create the shell over wax or some such then melt it out.
  19. jbkim
    You should get your friend to post some finished pictures. Even better, if he took pictures during the build process, a tutorial would be fantastic.
  20. jbkim
    Sounds cool. I'd love to see some pics. Look for the IMG button when you make a post. You'll need to have some web space to host the pictures from... meaning you don't upload them to this board, only link to the pics.

    Which little plastic Fender and Marshall amps run 30 watts? I did a quick search and found the Marshall MS-2 and a Fender Mini Deluxe but they seem to offer only 1 watt (both seem to run off of a 9v battery.) Hmm... if one can really get a 30w amp in something as small as a cigarette packet, I really be interested in that too... probably get really hot, I'd imagine. Probably why the enclosures are so big even though the actual circuits can be so small.
  22. jbkim
    Well, if you're no longer constrained to the cigarette packet size... just small, you might want to check out AX84 and Amptone ... there are probably LOTS more sites if you search around, these two are just a couple from my bookmarks.
  23. jbkim
    Wow, 30 watts in the size of a cigarette packet? If you build such a beast, I'd buy one!
  24. jbkim
    Don't know of any schematics off-hand... but are you trying to make your own "Smokey Deluxe Mini Amp" ? It'll probably be a lot of fun building your own, but consider the price of these little things pre-built versus tracking down all the parts, etc. of doing it yourself .
  25. jbkim
    You didn't mention what kind of bridge you have (tune-o-matic, fixed, floyd, etc.) If it's a floyd type, I seem to recall a Brian tip about stringing cotton in the springs... or you could try a piece of spongy foam underneath the springs.
