for some reason it looks orange but i assure you its red, also, my cam had a hard time focusing. i couldnt get any good pics of it.

Pic is a too big, please resize and repost.

he could possably, drill the holes for the leds then drill a channel down the neck under the finger board i.e. between the finger board and truss rod. then just solder stuff and run wires from there.

....

i think the water based fin is a great alternative. im using on a veee i made and its goin on good, very nice.

didnt they stop making khaler trems? what model was most commonly used?

what is the differance between nashville and a regular tom? i just wanted a nashville because thats what was on guitar i used to own.

ive been looking on the net for a black nashville TOM and i cant find one for the life of me. all i see is gold, chrome, nickle. i dont want to spray paint it black. can anyone kindly direct me to a place that sells such a bridge.

also since this will be the first guitar ive ever owned or built without a floyd rose, what sizes of nut slot files should i acquire? the strings i will be using are d'addario 9's

no ibanez is complete without PAINTED ON F-HOLES....also i fancy the desert yellow they used to put on the rg550...i want one of those soo bad.

i dont think that thats even real snake skin. i just bought a shat load of stuff made out of boa and king cobra(i went on a trip to the philippines and the stuff was cheap), wallets, belts, watch bands, guitar straps, hat, shoes and none of them look like taht. nitefly sa prolly correct bout the cutting out scales ect.

i bought stew macs water based laqucer, and on the label it says to strain the paint before putting it in the gun. How do i do that? also will 1 quart be enought to do color coats and clear?

you could just use a pup that has bladse instead of pole peices then you wont have to worry bout string spaceing.

i know how to build a neck and ive read up on scalloping a neck, but i have a question. whn i build the neck how do i avoid making the scallops too close to the truss rod? i want to use a stew mac 2 way rod and i was wondering if i could rout the channel a bit deeper and then put a peice of wood atop the rode then do the fret board thing.

i reccomend getting the EH holy grail verb. very nice pedal i have one, but if you set the reverb level too high you get a volume drop. i assume you have an fx loop, you can adjust the vol drop with the level stuff in the loop.

sounds could i wire one mini switch to turn on the bridge or the neck independant of the switch? and is there a way to by pass the mini switch?

how do these work i saw one at stewmac but i didnt understand how they worked. does each position activate only one pup at a time...

also do you know of any 3 way strat style switches that have one position for each pup. i dont usually combine pup configureations. the guitar i want this for has teh H-S-H config.

i will be using ktm-9 its a water based urethane, i think. should i drill em before or after?

ive seen that alot of people drill the holes for pup, strap, and jack screws after paint. is there any reason for this? if i drill the holes before i paint will something horrable happen? the only bad thing i can think of is that the hole will absorb the finish and swell the wood round it, but im not sure.

no thats done by the jackson custom shop... you can see em do it on the site.

also you could need to stretch you strings properly. i had the same problem and stretching my strings fixed it.

or you could get emg style covers or gibson style covers without the holes and just put em on any pup.

i did a search on poly and it has raised many questions i would like an answer to because i plan on using it for my next guitar. i read that the poly in cans(minwax) and the two-part poly are different.

How different are they? (i know that theyre different in the whole fact that one is one-part and the other is two-part)

Do they both cure in the same amount of time?

Are they both just as durable?

Is use of the Poly in a can(minwax) suggested?

because chrome hardware is cheaper than black

how long should i wait before colorsanding and buffing teh acrylic lacquer

it looks better than i thought it would with chrome hardware(i couldnt wait so i set the bridge in place and looked at it).

bevels are painted and i have put on 9 coats of clear. heres a pic. it doesnt look that orange in person its alot more red.
