HAHAHHA i thought that the 1st time i saw your avatar! Oh anyway back to the project... im interested in the LEDs behind the pickups and u said Am i blind or have u done it since those pics were taken? other than that its looking kool! BigT

wow looks truly batterd!! would be good too see a proper tutorial on how to relic a guitar... BigT

A friend of mine has a Squire strat and its really good. low action good quality parts (for the price) and just crappy tuners and pickups... so i think u just need to be lucky BigT

hummm odd worked for me just right click save as... Will try and fix it if any1 else is having problems BigT

I've taken the picture from guitarbuild and put it to scale and seems to be quite accurate from other measurements ive seen. So here it is Prs Hollow body plans Im still trying to find templates for the bird inlays... BigT

ARGH DAMN IT!!! been playing so much today i got a blister on my lil finger!!! BigT

Im all of em hahaha! some of my timing was off on it thats all. Any way... Gonna write a lil tune gonna take some influences from Iron Maiden, Metallica and then try and shove some originallity into it solo wise... dont know how long will take me depends on how much inspiration i get! ADDED: will prob shove in some slightly bluesy stuff BigT

ok just a q how thick is the prs body? so the 2 thicknesses needed would be edge and middle... Any1 got 1 to take some measurements? BigT

looks kool! keep em coming BigT

the thing is it depends on the style of strap pin... the kinda Cone shaped 1s like on fenders i hate the flat ones are good like on my ibanez ATK405 bass... so on the fender 1s i use strap locks on flat pins i dont BigT

if u need any help with ne thing pm me (ive just started teaching here in the UK so any chance i get to give some advice and try and make sense im jump at)... BigT

Has any1 ever seen a PRS style guitar with a floyd rose on it?... just wondering what it would look like. BigT

i realised this too, as i only learnt bits of songs and very few full songs... but then i looked at my technique and its solid (thanks to my classical guitar lessons when i was little). So the only thing ive changed since then is to learn the whole song and if i find a bit i cant do i skip it and go back to it slowing it down then with a metronome speeding it up till i can play it faster than im supposed to, this way i dont get annoyed with my self that i cant do it and end up learning more songs. So i completly recommend people using metronomes its 1 of the most handy things ive got and if u slow parts u cant do right down and then slowly build it up to the right speed (or even faster like i do cuz then u know u can play it properly) ure speed and accuracy will get better and u dont get stressed out so much... I also use it to learn scales and things so i can improv' solos and things and then i know what notes i can play and what 1s sound good. Using the metronome with Rusty Cooleys Legato workout is a god send, rediculous streaches that u are rarly going to use but all builds to gether to increase speed. Oh and another thing ive stopped doing is cracking my knuckles feels good but then they stiffen up again and makes playing faster harder... just some lil tips... BigT

lets see... 1st project cost me - £250 (GBP).... bargain! mainly cuz i stole lots of parts from other guitars... Next 1 will cost me bout (if i try and work it out now) £200, u gotta love ebay! BigT

ok heres a lil tester thing will post solo when im done, excuse it beeing a lil poop (did it at 3am so was tired) tester BigT

im trying to upload my file to fullservesite.com but i dont know how... can u please tell me how to. BigT

humm the only thing that springs to my mind at the moment is this guitar by dean... its CRAZY!!! and as long as you finish it properly should be fine. BigT

ok wes thats really cool... ive started doing some solo stuff for it cuz its sweet!! as soon as ive got a kool solo down for it will put it together with that file and post it... might take me a while but will b kool (i promise!) BigT

just go to google and click on the images bit and search for different guitar parts... comes up with some good stuff (if u keep looking). and also there are some good pics from suppliers like stewmac... BigT

Wow! I want 1! BigT

just get a picture of a guitar and get rid of everything around the parts you want using an image editor... BigT

ok heres my basic design and what its gonna look like. Its gonna be a flamed top so thinking of trying a carri burst or a teal burst (like on one of the PRS Private Stock guitars) Time 2 practice my artistic skillz ADDED: Hardware : 7 string hard tail bridge, Q-tuner BXL Pickup, 1 Push-Pull knob. and thats it. BigT

Ok so as the title suggests im actually starting my project now been on here so long and learnt enough reading the posts to get along with out huge mistakes (hopfully)! its a 7 string nothing really fancy about it but its gonna have a Q tuner pickup on it (they say that the bass XL pickup should do the same job) using the neck from my old Aria Mac 50/7 which is maple with rosewood fretboard (i think) and ummm bout it really. Body is going to be made from flamed sapele, was an amazing buy a slab bout 3" thick and enough to do 5 guitars for only £60!!!! i could probably get it cut in half and do more guitars but i like thick guitars. So ive finally got my last design chosen and have started to do some templates, will post pics of my progress as i go along (once ive stolen my bros camera). Big T Oh and ive already got my 2nd project going on in my head. just got a 2004 ibanez S series body with all the electronics and floyd rose and stuff, only thing missing is the neck so gonna rebuild the whole thing (2 skinny body).

with the design its always gonna b hard to get the legs strong. You can still play that sat down just might not be as comfortable as the original. but i think it looks better than the original, but i think a gutiar like that its more important to look kool than have amazin playability otherwise u might as well just build a practical guitar. BigT

this is wat i would do with it. spidy thing Still the legs are the weak point and will be pretty hard to do but if u can! go 4 it! Big T EDIT: The pickups on that pic are too small i kno!
