Do you have build pics up?

Thanks. Yeah, I think you're right, but I have seen a few pictures with him and the larger soundhole.

Hey Everyone, I was just wondering if anyone has seen any free maccaferri(Django Reindhart) plans out there on the interweb. I tried, but no luck. I guess I could pull all those years I spent on CAD to use and try to make my own, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

As far as designing you could have the kids do a design asthetically or for shape and what not and then the everyone as a whole would work on the winning design and work out the technical things like dimensions and scale and others. That would be more of a group idea, but anyway. BTW what program are you guys using? Autodesk AutoCad, Inventor, Pro E? I'm involved in an engineering program up here in Michigan.

What tools do you have access to?

You said to take a top end epiphone and upgrade the hardware. I believe the highest les paul is an elitist and you're going to be spending over a grand for one. So after the upgrades you are going to be looking at somewhere in the range of a gibson standard. The faded Les Pauls can be great, I have one, but, the consistency with the fadeds isn't there. If you want to change a everything on it and you want to go buy a paul, I recommend finding a decent quality faded. Also, if that doesn't satisfy you, I second whoever said to buy a used paul.

My planet waves locking tuners even cut my string automatically when I turn it.

Yeah I'll post some clips. It's sounds pretty good.

So I had a free saturday and a g&l asat that was in pieces. My idiot friend had tried to spin the guitar around his head but the strap came out, the guitar hit the ground, and it's headstock broke off. As apposed to repairing it, he proceeded to smash the perfectly good body. I yelled at him for the sin and took the parts. Since i had a lot of time on my hands and a perfectly good neck (minus the headstock) I took some spare wood and made a guitar. The routing is sub par but I didn't have any templates to work with so I just drew the routes out on the guitar. It is surprisingly easy to play and sounds descent. Pics: (sorry about the quality this was taken with a phone) pic2 pic3 pic4 pic5 Any Comments?

Yeah it would work as long as you made it thin enough. But the further the pole pieces and coils are away from the strings the less sound they will produce. There is also a "Sweet spot" for the distance between the PU and the strings(Dependant on the PU). I believe Dan Erlewine talks about it in his book of guitar setup and repair. As long as you have the correct distance, I don't think that the wood will interfere with the magnetic field.

I bought a set of their over wound vintage strat PU's that are allows on clearance for $17.00. I put them in my parts-o-caster and I was very pleased. They are probably the best cheap pickups I've played and one was reverse wound so they would reduce the hum. Anyways I've got nothing but good things to say about the single coils. They're great if you're on a budget.

I see them on ebay the time. They usually take them out of strats and leave the threaded inserts in the body so you get the posts and bridge. Just search strat bridge wilkinson.
