    i was just curious if any one knows if a standard mitre saw and a fret saw are the same thickness, pretty much i want to know if i could use a mitre saw to cut fret slots. thanks for ur time nate

    really like this build. id go with the tiger eye looks really vintage and just plain cool. for ur tail piece i like the lower one but id fallow the curves of the guitar, so pretty much reverse of what u have. but like i said this build is really cool

    what kind of wood do u want to use for the fret board? look at a local lumber yard or check / home depot/lowes/menards u might be able to find something pretty cheap

    while practicing last weekend half way through a song i noticed i could no longer hear my guitar so i waited and checked to see what the problem was. not quite sure what happend but for some reason all the distortion and volume went off. i just bought a new valveking head and thought crud mabey i already blew a tube, so i plugged in my other guitar and everything was fine so i tried plugging the ltd back in still screwed up, any one have a clue what the problem could be?

    thats kinda what i was thinking, i was worried that if i put the strip on the side it might break off so i decided to putit in the center i like the contrast in it. u really cant tell from the pics but the out side peices have a nice figure to them and the center strip has a lot of color to it . i need to get a regular camera to take pictures
  17. Davis guitars
