I in the middle of a build... it is a superstrat and I want some high gain pick-ups. I play distortion 95% of the time. The body is routed for 2 humbuckers. I was looking at the Dimebucker or possibly some vintage Bill Lawrence pick-ups. Does any one have experaince with these? Does anyone have any other recommendations???

I am building a guitar with a body that resembles a Flying V and I want to use an angled type cord jack (like those on a Strat that are mounted on the front but it is angled so the cord points downwards and back so the cord doesn’t stick straight out). The problem is that the edges of my guitar body are routed with such a large radius that there is not enough flat surface left on the side for the jack to mount on with out it’s sides hanging over. I have tried shaving the edges off the jack body to get it to fit but it is still too large. I am dead set against mounting the cord jack in the front (for some reason I have always been that way)… I really don’t feel like custom fabricating one, so if any one knows where I could get a low profile angled type cord jack let me know. Thanks!

I have always made necks and fret boards out of maple. Finishing was always easy - you glue the pieces together, shape the contours spray the finish and slap the frets on and you have a finished neck! For my latest project I am going to stick with the maple neck, but I am going to go with a ebony fret board. Of the top of my head I have a few finishing/construction options: 1. Finish the neck first. Then glue the shaped fret board (which would be previously dyed black) on the neck then glue them both together. Then slap the frets on. 2. Or probably better. Glue both pieces together then shape the fret board. Then dye the fret board black (I want it perfectly black). Then tape off the fret board and spray the nitro on the neck. The remove the masking and slap the frets on. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
