    I managed to get a solid body (mahogany i think), with the neck join and pickup holes already cut from a friend. This came with a neck taken from an old marlin neck. He told me that the slot was too narrow for the neck, so he tried widening it. The problem is that this left a gap on the lower side of the neck, as he did it with sandpaper creating a curve on the side of the pocket. also, there is no wood between the pocket and the neck pickup cavity. Is this a problem, or can i get away with leaving it as it is? and if it is a problem, how can i fix it? (i wud post pictures, but dont really know how to)

    just to prove that its not some product that i've dreamed or sumthin one wierd pot
  12. ComradeFletch
    cheers man, but those i have sorted. its all these wierd and wonderful values tht i'm wondering about, like the 1 meg pots and stuff.
  13. ComradeFletch
    can anyone explain what effects the value of a pot has on the sound and fuction it provides? i keep seeing these like '1meg' ones and thinking 'hmmm, what can i add onto the guitar now?'

    mother of god, tht was jst <sighs> beautiful after sumwhat of a plateau in my guitar exploits, i think that has jst given me something to work towards
  15. ComradeFletch
    that has got to be one of the most awesome things i have ever seen tho, i am doubting i have the technical knowledge, or parts supply to build one. gotta dream a dream tho

    i'm going with orange, on the grounds tht they take an inspiration from the best flavour of 'smarties' (if u have em in the U.S.)

    the idea to try and make a small amp out of some crappy walkman speakers came into the thinkbox the other day. now, i have no idea as to what rating the speakers are, but i currently have them, and a 250k push/pull pot doing nothing. does anybody have any ideas if i can make em into a smallish battery powered amp? and, i have a limited knowledge of amps, so speak slowly

    Yeah, i've heard a good deal about Ibanez's, but hav yet to play on one. seem pretty cool tho. I do think tht i jst love my tele too much now. as much as one of my friends likes to rub it in, how he has a jazz master and so on so on, i jst think tht the right guitar is one tht fits u. I reckon in total i've spent about, probably 140 quid on the thing (its second hand n has a good number of dings on it), but this ones staying for quite some time

    hello every1! jst figured i'd make myself known. i'm 16, own a squire strat and a tele, and have jst stared modding guitars. so far, i've only shielded the telecaster, installed a seymour duncan stl2 in the bridge and put in a phase switch.
