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)

hi man

16, boom

i have recently been asked to attempt to do the backing to a play (still in school, get roped into this stuff)

dont suppose anybody has a tab for Prokofiev's 'Montagues and Capulets'.

can anybody recommend any good books for building amps?

(yeah, i kno its not about solid body guitars, but i cudn't think where to put it)

ahh right. cheers man

tht one, i had gathered

but i heard sumwhere tht they have real nice tonal qualitys

any info on the pros/cons of metal nuts? (think this is right section )

so, muchos treble with a 1meg on the volume..... i have seen a 5 meg i think, but aint tht sure.

cheers dude, i shud really start going on stewmac more

just to prove that its not some product that i've dreamed or sumthin

one wierd pot

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.

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

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

cheers guys

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.
