  1. Can you tell us more about it?

    I read the page, but it seems kinda unclear, or I can't understand it too well.

    So does it include all the fret markers and side fret markers?

    Also, in what way is it "easy"? Don't you have to groove out all the channels? How (well) does the fret markers sit on the fingerboard?

    Oh and on the page it says.. 1 - 5mm ("Insert Color"), what are those?? Radius of the fret marker??

    Sorry for the long question, but I would like to buy 1 as well before the price goes up. :D

    Also, does it come with *full instructions? I guess yes, because that would explain why they haven't finished the tutorial.

  2. One possible solution was to get another fretboard, and start again, or alternately move the bridge back 3/4". So I decided on the latter. First stud came off quite easy, the second... pulled off a 2" chunck of black paint.

    I'm guessing you either sacrificed your intonation for less time, or you didn't know that making a 25.5" 3/4" shorter does not make it a 24.75" scale. The frets location will be relatively off = bad intonation = bad playability especially in the higher frets.

    P.S. I love your garden. Even though we may be looking at a small section, it's beautiful.

    For your RG570, where did you get the neck from? And is it a 25.5" scale?

    I like the finish, but I'm concerned if the guitars play as well as they look.

  3. My brother has "perfect pitch" which means he can hear a note and tell which note it is.. It's pretty amazing.

    It's pure intuition, but funny thing is he absolutely HATES notes that are out of tune. It's not obsession.. it's more of a sensitivity "issue" (well.. not really an issue). Telling if the intonation is off or not is a lot easier and some people have it, some people don't.

    I have yet to learn the physics behind this, does anyone have a link that explains how intonation physics work?

    This is a cool topic.

  4. "It's a well-known fact that [in 1959] they dispensed with penciling in the dates," Kerry explains. "They went to a rubber stamp in 1960. Why? Well, there was rumor that there was a guy at the end of the production line and he was penciling in not the dates but profanity, and then bolting the necks together. Leo Fender heard about it, and said, 'Okay, you guys, no more writing the dates in pencils.'"

    :D funny. I wish I had one of 'em '59 necks..

  5. Does anyone know where I can buy a Floyd Rose Arm insert found on the bridge? Mine is chipped off a little.. well.. it's rather large.. I think I would want to replace it..

    So the hole/insert where the whammy bar goes into. This is for Original Floyd Rose btw.. icon13.gificon13.gificon13.gif
