Ben

I gave up commenting on every guitar you posted recently, because it was on the verge of giving me RSI Seriously, you seem to be cranking these out at a crazy speed, and they all look awesome without exception. I'm liking the wenge one most personally.

ok, its still not quite right in my opinion and needs some work, but this is kinda the direction in which i would suggest tweaking it: the back still looks kinda wrong.

Draft 2 or 4 have most potential imho... But if you ask me, they could do with a little tweaking. In their current state, I'm not 100% keen on any to be perfectly honest, but with a little modification, I think those 2 could have something going for them.

The lycos email address (that anyone could register) is different to the address given on the MCS website.

Looks plenty different to my eyes. Weird that the only one not to cause any fuss is the Manson- the one that is by far the closest to being a direct copy!

#2 gets my vote

They do kinda look like they're about to slip something in her drink in the bar scene... It looks well produced overall, but I would agree, If they could re-film the bits you mention it could maybe be better.

That acoustic's looking great! And Welcome

Hah! I love all the crazy suggestions in this thread. It reminds me of those inkblot tests pschologists use... I wonder what that says about the sanity of the average PG member...

Yeah finish that thing already! A search I did returned that thread, and I ended up reading the whole thing. It was looking good.

like this

I saw the goat in the first pic, but in that last one I see a fat man wearing goggles pretending to be the hulk....

I'm trying to work out if your sig is meant to be a joke or a pun or something... if it is then I'm still missing it And the guitar rack is indeed awesome.

Seconded Its rare that I like swirl finishes, but this one is awesome

Cool. My last one had no bobbin and that was easy enough to make (still yet to finish the guitar in which it will be situated though ) No, I don't think that will work, certainly didn't from my experiments, the magnetisism needs to go through the core. You can run a magnetised driver next to your pickup though... I had a feeling it wouldn't. Ah well, no big deal- I'll just buy another magnet Thanks for the response and expect to hear from me in a couple of months Ben

I'm thinking about having a sustainer placed next to a tele neck pickup, as in my diagram, and using a 2nd tele neck pup cover to encase the sustainer (maybe I could use the cover to pot the thing?) - do you think the sustainer (probably a single coil one due to the restricted size) would work from beneath a tele neck-pickup cover? I would imagine it would, the only issue I could see here would be that the cover may force it further from the strings, meaning it would need to consume more power (maybe?) - do you think it would work with the limited magnetic field through it (which I'd guess would be about 1/2 the strength of if it were placed on top)? (The first diagram represents this situation) Or would I need a 2nd magnet to strengthen the magnetic field?- as in the 2nd diagram If you dont know I'll just have to test things for myself and find out, but it would be useful for pre-planning if anyone could offer any insight. Thanks Ben EDIT: forgot the image!

it worked for me

I just know I wouldnt have used that nice flamed mahogany for an experiment!

Nice!

Same here Initially I wasnt that keen, but it looks a lot better now its finished. I'd still shrink the body a little but it looks good as it is. Nice work!

Wow, check out the headstock in the other photo on that page http://www.kxkguitars.com/Karl_Sanders.html

Both your builds are looking great

Thats seriously awesome!

Worked fine for me... but my neck was strengthened with aluminium strip things and it was fairly thick. Plus I chambered the body to make it lighter. It sounds nice acoustically, but I havent done the elctronics yet.
