paul filth

wow! thanks for the informative replies, you guys are really helpfull! i'm glad i joined this site

i have quite a few joinery shops near by, this time i'm getting it bandsawed out as close to the outlines as possible, then clean it off with my dewalt router. i'm actually working on a RR coppy and a Washburn Idol (i used the LP just as an example) and yeah that tear out was bad, but i think it was more to do with the quallity of the mahogany and the buscuit joins. and thanks for the informative reply. i'm going to get/order the parts, but before i do, would a 1" 11/16" nut width and at the very end of the fret board its 2" 3/16" would it work with an original floyd rose? thanks again

hey, i'm new here and i'm currently building another guitar, the few things i'd like to know is... i'm buying a tone pro's T-O-M bridge with graphtech sadles with a stop tail piece. http://www.wdmusic.com/tonepros_graph_tech..._30886_prd1.htm i have seen on many guitars that the bridge is at an angle, is this for intonation or somthing else? http://www.espguitars.com/guitars_deluxe.html lastly could somone please explain what angle my neck pocket should be for a non recessed tune-o-matic? i have templates from guitarbuildingtemplates but how could i get the angles neck pocket i desire? do i use shims at the rear of the template to make it at an angle? if i'm wrong could somone tell me in detail so i can learn. hopefully as i get further in my project i can start posting my build here aswell as UG http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/forum/showt...t=317378&page=1 thanks
