i got a hold of some mahogany and cherry Guess what happened to the wood!!! I cant believe my money went down the drain OK heres the story: I bought the wood and left it in the shed out back I thought what could go wrong its a huge piece of wood Ok then I notice my brother skating on a ramp I asked "Where did you get the wood?" Replied "out back" I run to check if the wood was there and it wasnt then I ran out and shouted "That was supposed to be my guitar youF*&^5 sh*t" Thats the end of the story

ok I have bought some latches problem no 1: where can I get pop rivets? problem no 2: how do I remove the soft interior without damaging it? thanks

buying cheap but quality woods in Ireland anyone know any good places to buy woods for cheap I live in the south east of Ireland money is a problem big time for me but I aint gonna stop building a guitar

does thomann.de do any replacement latches btw

I live in Ireland Europe the really small place beside the UK wood is really hard to get here as most of it is imported I like emgs(although my other guitars have di marzio and seymour duncan in them) and I would be using them anyways I just need good quality cheap wood to start

I got some medite today dunno what its like but it is really heavy got any suggestions if medite is crap any suggestions for alternative to mahogany or where I can get cheap mahogany its for a neck thru guitar so i need a good length

ok i just finished my exams and I am going to get the wood I will keep a diary of my progress and post pics whenever i can so what i am going to do 1. buy wood and clamps 2. glue the neck together Update on my guitar ******************** here are my specs construction: neck thru (easy access shape on back) body style: gibson lp (black) body wood: mahogony binding: white(front) neck wood: mahogany w middle maple frets: 24 fret wire: dunlop 6150 fingerboard material: ebony neck and head binding: white head: gibson lp bridge: tune o matic nut: graphite pickups: emg 81 & 85 (battery cavity on back) tuners:grover Switches: 3-way switch knobs: two (1 volume & 1 tone) extras: a preamp booster and a kill switch and an angled jack that goes into body like an Ibanez JEM *****************************

i tried to take the padding stuff out to see how fixable it was the thing is stuck to it any ideas on removing it? wheres a good place to buy replacement latches?

yeah its well padded inside where is a good idea to get latches? and are there any tutorials with pics here that show you how to install them? thanks

broken latch broken latch with part how it should look here are the pics I promised by the way it holds a PGM 500 so I do want this guitar to be safe

the latches on my guitar case they broke off the case itself it is an old ibanez case I'll post pictures later

ok here it is I have a JSRR(its a cheap RR1)and it has the jack located on the lower wing/horn The RR1 has it on the upper wing/horn It doesnt have any wood top so I am wondering how you would go about connecting the wires through the wood I know that on a gibson Les Paul that there is a long route going from the pick-up selector, through each of the pick ups and the to the control cavity. I never knew that before. In this case we have a solid body JSRR guitar with no tops and a wiring from the control cavity through to the upper or longer wing/horn I doubt that you could drill a hole through the body sufficient enough to bypass the tremolo to get to the upper wing/horn fromthe control cavity situated on the lower wing/horn And I also questioned how they do it on other guitars from curiosity hope that was clear if not ask again cheers

No I have a JSRR its a chep model I wanna know how they wire it there

what does the routing for a Jackson RR1 look like because you have to wire the controls through the shorter wing to the longer wing? when connecting the jack to the controls is what I meant I find it hard to see where the wires would run throughout the body as I dont own any of the guitars I am trying to build All I can go on is some pictures and that is it

where exactly? any diagrams?
