when routing truss rod channels and for pickups

is there anything else than can be used besides a router thats less expensive?

i know could chisel it out but itll probably take extremely long.

has anyone tried it?

thanks

cool

thats a good idea

how much do those cost?

There is a more important issue than access to the 15th fret, and that is the distance from the 12th fret to the bridge. If it is not the same as from the nut to the 12th fret, the intonation will be off.

i dont se the problem...

you can just move the bridge up

does anyone know where i could look for a good hand drill? i cant find any at home depot/lowes/sears and i found a 13 dollar fiskars one that looks iffy at ACE hardware and a 42 dollar one at this other place, but that seems a bit expensive.

im looking for this in order to enlarge my pegholes for some schaller tuners, i can find the bits just not the hand drill(im not willing to use a power drill and risk ruining my headstock). i was thinking, is there any way i could do the job with out the use of a drill, kind of rig up some type of device to use the bits with?

whats the difference between an hand drill and a power drill?

isnt it the same thing?

my shop is a one of those tables with clamps, 2 regular staright saws, hand drill and sand paper all in a filthy unfinished basement full of renovation wood.

is there any cheap way i could cut out a strat style body shape out of a piece of wood without spending too much money? a

and for truss rod routing, any way of doing it without a router?

could i do it with one of those press drills?

how much for press dril and bandsaw?

thanks alot!

the best way is still to do the chromatic stuff.

it may be boring but its the best way.

the best way is this:

play frets 1-2-3-4 in order on 6 th string

then do same on 5th and so on...

when youre finished at 1rst string slide your fingers up a fret and go down the neck

5-4-3-2 the go 2nd string

continue this chain up the neck using up and down picking

2nd tip:

PRACTICE!

i got a picture with don ross

but are these guys world renown?

one more thing...

my bridge is starting to corrode and lose color and rust

ive had it for a little over a year.

anyone have this problem?

8 years?

even if you wash your hands all the time...

didnt they break once yet??????

hey and guy who said hes looking for best strings for rammestein etc.,

theres no real best string you just gotta try em all out and find it for yourself

the strings you play wont change your <style> of music

hey guys

ive been going to the jazzfest all week in montreal

and i met a couple guitarists performing.

anyone heard of these guys?

(i just wanna get an idea of their calibre)

-Tommy Emmanuel

-Doug Macleod

-Buster B. Jones

-Brooksie Robinson

-Don Ross

Did any of you guys stop by the jazzfest?

thanks alot!

i never do anything to maintain my strings.

why? i just dont believe it will change anything.

i heard of some people buying oils to spray on their strings to keep the elastic but... i dont think it changes a thing.

i go through a set every 2 weeks or so.

thanks guys!

how do you copyright something?

a song maybe?

thanks

but i think youre slightly wrong.

there was 2 valvestate series.

valvestate 1 and valvestate 2 (aka AVT)

mine is from the first model.

thats probably why you couldnt find the 80 watt model .

anyone know how much it is worth today?

hi guys

i just wanna learn a little about my marshall valvestate 80 watt combo.

what year was it made in?

what kind of tube does it use?

whats its value these days?

is it popular?

anything else you can add would be great!

thanks!

how do they compare to 6 strings?

if i just wanna play 6 string songs on it will the 7 th be in the way?

and how much bigger is the neck?like a classical guitar?

thanks

how can i plug my guitar into the computer?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

true

i guess i can settle for cakewalk( or some cheap shareware on the net )

the program doesnt really affect the sound quality does it?

yeah well i dont have money to trhow around...

i have a 6 string but i thought it would be fun to have a 12 string for songwriting

oh well.

is it possible to plug my guitar, drum machine, bass and keys directly into the computer so i dont have to mess around with accoustics?

thats a pretty good idea curtis!

how much do you think a laptop just powerful enough to run protools would

cost me?

and umm. you know anything about mics?

what kind of mic could i use for that?

and could i just plug a regular one into my computer somehow?

yeah ive been doing it with my computer for a while but the quality isnt too good...

plus i hate dragging all my stuff to the computer every time i want to record.

I'm also in doubt if I should put on a flamed maple binding on the neck, like I did on my telecaster:

holy moly! thats some beautiful flamed maple!!!
