    ok, thanks everyone for the replies... so is what i should do... 1.tap those frets in (despite arbor suggestions, i can't afford it easily and will probably pass this time) 1.5. truss rod ajustments to level wood 2.level frets with that steel tube (use that magic marker now?) 3.crown with those crowning files (the $35 ones, not the $95 ones) i assume the steel tube takes the place of these: Fret Leveling Files but what am i forgetting? i'll take guitarfrenzys advise about a straight-egde, stew-mac's are fifty ****ing dolars. i am getting a preslotted freboard- im not that crazy, this being my first neck. radius block- i will be following the tutorial up here, fret bending- i will probably follow the tutorial here too. once again, many thanks and merry christmass to everyone.

    alright, youre looking at a n00b planning his first guitar with its own fret job. but going to stew-mac, etc., im overwhelemed with the vairety of tools. specificaly what will i realisticaly need for my first time, especialy in terms of dressing & crowning?
  3. theQuestioneer
    i put them up against eachother and sight it out, but theres certianly a better way to do it, so you should ask someone else, sorry.

    you use a drill diametor (sp?) that is the same as the screw without the threads, so that the threads will protrude out of the pilot hole but the rest will go through it, if you get what i'm saying
  5. theQuestioneer

    im thinking of putting a pau ferro fretboard on to a guitar i will be building, but i was wondering, is it hard and fast like maple or ebony or in relation slower and softer, along the lines of rosewood? or where in beetween would it be? lmii says its "hard" (not very descriptive) but i've heard it's simmilar to rosewood. please help a n00b!

    hey there, welcome
  11. theQuestioneer
    yeah. i guess the rest you havent heard of the new fad "active camoflouge" finish. those guitars are there, you just can't see them. and look foreward to my tutorial, "how to give your axe an active camoflouge finish."

    now we have two teles to follow up... a tele.

    word to the krebs cycle. i was there a month or two ago. i didn't understand it at all. do you? ATP and all that c***? luckuly for me, it wasn't on the midterm. Phew.
  14. theQuestioneer
    pretty much. it just sometimes is that way when they saw open a tree, i belive.

    forget all that. it's his name.

    i say we put that information together and sell it. we'll get people to care somehow... i did notice the servers keep disapeering. why not use your user name, and then when he gives you a negative response, say "learned after auction that it was STOLEN MATERIAL so backed out."

    they put one coil above the other instead of side by side. the two coils stop the hum, and the singles are claimed to still make a single coil sound, with no hum (i wrote hum with no sound at first!) i havent tried one so i don't know how accurate that claim is. This is what the fender "noiseless" singles are. i also thinkl they have a slap of steel to isolate the coils. meh. someone else will give you a more detaled explaination, but thats what i know.
  18. theQuestioneer
    thats really wierd- that dosn't happen to me. i don't even notice fumes. maybe i'm using a different kind of solder. i see the fumes.... but i don't seem to inhale them..? what i hate is melting the wire. and when the wire moves away when you want to solder it.

    now that we all know what audio taper is, pretty much any (probably every) pot you will buy from a guitar parts store will be audio, because thats what youre supposed to use, it just sounds better. allparts, warmoth, stew-mac, etc. those don't say audio taper but they are. audio-taper is used for everything dealing with sound.
  20. theQuestioneer
    allright thanks brian. thats what i thought but i wasn't sure enough.... thanks for confirming and showing that this will be that much easier.

    dude- this place gave me a slab of mahogony for FREE! it was like an extra slab off that they had cut and there like "i don't want this, just take it"
  22. theQuestioneer
    alright, so i got this pickup, and its got a four counducter. i know how to get all the things like splitting and the like, but i don't want to. i want it to act just like a usual, unmodified, series humbucker. i know what wires to connect to do this and all that. my question is, will it make any difference how far along the wire i connect them? is there some reason i cant have the two go all the way out into the electronics cavity before they connect? or am i just being parinoid? thanks in advance for all help
  23. theQuestioneer
    wow.... long post... thanks for all that john... i'll consider what you said, and get that clip. i'm still probably going to go with it...
  24. theQuestioneer
    Thanks all. Your responses as well as Satriani's tone sounds promising, i'll probably go with the FRED. Thanks for the help, the input, and putting me that much closer to a complete guitar rock on
  25. theQuestioneer
    yo do any of you have any experiance with a FRED, and what kidn of sound does it have? i'm looking for a somewhat thunky, crunchy, sound with a little bit of loud and high outputy for a slightly softer, more classic rock breed of hard rock. how close does it come to this? the description looked promising, but i want to hear from someone not trying to sell it to me, if you know what i mean.
