The neck PU is most commonly used for clean open hords for a psuedo acoustic sound.
Hmm... I use the neck pickup a LOT for leads. One of my guitars even has an old Dimarzio X2N in the neck position for this purpose.

Regarding Jehle's lawsuit, if Kench really is 11 years old (or whatever now, a minor regardless,) would his parents be liable?
-
Every time a URL is posted here about ol' Kench, the server goes down. Coincidence?

Just playing more, consciously making the effort to use the pinky, will be the best but specifically do more pinky related stuff... like 3rd-4th (pinky) finger trills. Another exercise I used to recommend to students was to practice scales over-the-neck. In the traditional under-the-neck position, the first (index) finger is the anchor/pivot point of strength. Over-the-neck, the pinky becomes the anchor.

Lookin' good, I just wish you sold EMG pickups.
I don't remember for sure but I recall EMG restricts their pickups to brick+morter stores and you can't advertise prices on the web, etc.

Hmm... dots measure 3/16" (or just under 5mm) in my neck. Nearest plugcutters seem to be 1/4" or 6mm. I guess, over-drill the dots out? I'm thinking even if the ebony plugs aren't invisible, it might have a cool black on black effect.
-
Ah, yes! I've seen Norm use these plugcutters on "New Yankee Workshop" but didn't remember what they're called. Thanks!
-
I would drill the dots out, then cut actual ebony pieces the size of dots and inlay then into the holes.
Thanks for the reply. Any suggestion on the tool to cut the ebony pieces to fill in the hole?
-
If you have any other suggestions for around $200 USD, I would be glad to hear them...
I mentioned a Kramer Striker body+neck (w/ tuners) that I got off of ebay for $55 (incl. s+h) in another thread. The fit and finish sucked. I had to take off the neck, shim it and recenter it (1st/6th strings weren't aligned.) I replaced the electronics (stock REALLY sucked ) and make truss rod adjustments, etc. The end result was not bad!... and I only put $80 into this project total. I got the action down to about 2mm and the neck is super comfortable (very slender "C" shape.) Based on my experience with this guy and the new price at MusicYo being $199, I'd recommend it.

mmm... smoked turkey. just in time for thanksgiving!

Nice tune. Reminds me of something Wes Borland might come up with (if you've ever listened to his solo stuff).
Hmm... it reminds me of Brett Garsed. Way cool guitarist, imho, if a little esoteric for some tastes.

Looks like the server is dead...
Man! I hope Brian has been making back-ups!

Oh no! Betterbytes hijacked the whole site!!!

So you wanna show off "hey, I'm good enough to play without fretboard markers. I could even play all of this with my eyes closed"
J/K
Heh, ulterior motives . Humans are very visual creatures, men even more so than women... but music is about sound in which case the markers are like crutches. I tell my students to try not to look at the fretboard when playing... assuring them that the frets have not moved since the last time they looked . Well, anyway, I did say I liked the side markers in a previous post. They're there if/when I'd need them.
-
When I first played my guitar project I got lost right away. I couldn't believe how much I depended on those fretboard dots! So I took a 1-hole paper punch and made some temporary ones out of sticky backed label paper. Until I get good at cutting and setting abalone.
Heh . I started on Classical guitar so I'm used to no markers... not even side markers. But for electric, I like the side markers... never use the inlay markers on the front for navigation. I don't know, I think it looks kinda cool without any dots. Kinda stealth, eh?
-
Yeah, my thoughts too. I'm just wondering if anyone has done this before and what kind of results I can expect.
-
Hmm... I don't recall a 25 fret guitar but I remember some high fretted guitars like Uli Jon Roth's Sky guitars (one had 36 and another 42, IIRC.) There were also these strange looking guitars by Danelectro called Longhorns, I believe. The last one I can think of is the Stratum.
-
At the other extreme of the resent inlay posts (beautiful work, btw!) I'm curious to the feasibility of removing pre-existing dot marker inlays and filling the holes cleanly... achieving this look:
I found this thread on removing them. Any suggestions on how/what to fill them with on an ebony fretboard? Has anyone done this? I'm planing on re-radiusing the fretboard so I'll be sure to save the ebony dust.

unlike women, guitars grow more beautiful with age.
Don't let your mom or granny hear you say that

Look at her (it's?) face. I think it's a mannequin.

I think, because of the spacing, you'll wind up doing 4+2 instead of 3+3.

sorry about the geocities thing. Guess it is free. Maybe someday I can aford good web hosting.
There have been past discussion of free pic hosting. You might want to search the forum for some suggestions. If you're unix savy, you might want to check out FreeShell.org. As the name suggests, it's free.

I'm inspired by John McLaughlin...I sound more like Courtney Love...
Heh! That's about the funniest thing I've ever read!

I was wondering the same thing for that dot-less ebony fretboard thread.
