we have some downdraft tables at the shop

they just collect dust.......as in we dont even bother with them

but if you do build one get a roll of drawer liner for a tool box like this

http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=prod...&lpage=none

to pad your top. your work wont move on it and the holes will let the dust thru

its what i used to use on my bench for sanding now i use wet suit material as it lasts longer

but it does not have any holes in it

who ever told you that is dead wrong

much like Wes all my Floyd guitars are at the head and all are two way rods

be smart dont take anymore advice from that person

or you could get into trouble

as i manage to stutter ........W.W.W..WOW

thats amazing

you can get good clean alder here

Nice Laguna!

Chris

yes i agree Laguna's are awsome... we the th 18"

i hope that it is an actual scarf joint

because that looks like a butt joint

Ok so I was thinking of doing a telecaster out of alder with a flamed maple front and a flamed maple back

the place I was buying my flamed maple top from says that it is 6/15" thick. Times that by 2 and that makes 12/15" of an inch thick worth of maple. and then I was planning on buying 1" thick alder. WHich makes my telecaster 27/15" which equals 1.8" thick when a body should be about 1.75" thick.

Another option for me would be to get another thinner set of maple top. but I havent found any that has been in my price range. the one im getting is about 25 dollars and the fugure is fine. can someone point me to some thinner cheaper flamed maple tops?

Oh and lets say I got some flamed maple that was like 3/15" thick and times that by 2 and add the 1" alder. That would make my body 1.4" thick. which is thinner then the average telecaster. Would it be hard to avoid the obvious problems of running through the wood because of pickup holes and all? Basically is it possible to make it that thin, and is it easy?

Who came up with 15th's as a measurement (are you the great Litchfeild)?

if you go to the line 6 forum youll find lots of problems like this

i had no problems with my 2x12 but i also sold it before i did

follow this exactly

if this does not help buy a new guitar

are you f@#king nuts?

your board or neck is not strait/flat or level

or you have i rising toung

Please dont try to stop it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the dimentions are in the cad drawing

dude where is my bench at

nice setup just need a good size planner and my wood stash

this was in this month's Guitarworld"confessions of a vintage gear spam colum its kinda neat so i looked it up on wikpedia

how does the fret switch work without afecting pickup noise/Emi?

do you know how to solder?and do you know what tining is? if so read on

do everything Batfink said and try this

tin the noose just above the ball on your strings it will keep them from slipping

you could also try fender bullets as they have the bullet end instead of the ball

i have a 5 way switch that i tore apart and cut the tower off of

when i have the switch where i want i take the modified switch plate

and put it on my layout then mark the screw hole's then drill them and mount the

the plate and use that as a guide for my dremmel

how loose fitting was the channel?

if it is longer than the rod did you pu some kind of baker behind it to keep it from moving?

also don't use the sealant if that gets on you glue joints you'll have a problem

instead use a peice of foam weather strip... just a little peice will do

that looks awsome!!!!!!!!!!!

so how does all the glue sound?

i find...the flatter the better for me....but you do know about compound radiuses?

10" at the nut,around 16" at the bridge...the best of both worlds

Ahh that good old 10-16. I would totaly suck without it

not trying to cut you down but.................

buy a book before you buy anything else

do a search for melvin hiscock

Great job!!!

and smart enough to make your first build a kit +1
