GOTM= Guitar Of The Month

I dont really understand what he did wrong. I watched the vid nd thought it was actually quiet a good band but the whole satanist thing is a bit sad lol (religeon-o dear) its not like you can understand what the guy was actually singing/screaming anyway

Sad news - ledgendry man mind you he did push his luck a little

http://www.samedaymusic.com/product--FEN262300 i say get one of these. i played one in a shop and it was beautiful! and the pickups are quite good in my opinion

that is a nice grain on the neck on the guitar on the right. looks really nice and flowing!

that headstock is such a good shape! look forward to seeing it finished!

i really dont like LPs, i find the shape extremely boring, i also beleive it is one of the most overrated guitars ever made. i am kind of biased though seeing as i dont like les pauls. in fact i dont really like singlecuts at all. the only single cut design which looks right is the telecaster i would definitely go for a top end ibanez if i had the choice between the 2

ok its arrived. for a 40 quid guitar the tremolo system is very good. this is the 'doner' guitar with which i will be using for parts.

wow ive never known of anyone else who owns a vintage. lol mines a VS6 but im not sellin it

i agree, either its because they got it spot on first try or its because theyve had so long to perfect it. either way its a nice guitar

Ok for the neck and hardware, i have bought a cheap ibanez JEM copy with a damaged body from ebay. it should do very nicely. i will post a pic of it when it arrives. ill get back to sanding then

Im not the kind of person who likes teles or infact any fender. i really find the tele shape very boring and the headstock to bejust plain weird. I prefer gitars more geared towards heavy metal such as ESP's or Jacksons. but the other day i played a Tele in a guitar shop. I was really surprised by how nice it was. It played like a dream. Also i wasn't expecting much in the way of a good overdriven sound. This thing really surprised me, as much as i want to dislike them i am seriously considering saving up for one.

i dont really know what type of wood it is. it seems strong enough to make a guitar with but it is made of several layers. it came from a leftover part of wood from a comany that makes high security doors so i would imagine its quite tough but apart from that i have no idea what type of wood it is. i realy dont know what kind of sound it will have or how much sustain.

Ok. ive finally started on my project. Do not expect anything special because the quality of wood is very poor. however. this is mainly because i want to find out if i am up to making guitars. if this does work then i will replace the body with one made of a good quality wood. the shape is just a flying V of my own design. i have made a (extremely poor) image to show how i want the final thing to look vaguely like. i have not included bridge and pickups as i will be using whatever i can get my hands on ive made the body for now. using a circular say and a jigsaw. the next thing im going 2 do is beveling the body for the scratch plate im gonna use checkerplate. sorry about the poor quality pictures. i took them with a webcam

im gonna try to get hold of some wood which would be good for a first guitar- not ver expensive incase i screw up and im either gonna make an explorer or a design of my own
