  1. i got me some pickups of ebay recently. i got a bridge and a neck, but the bridge PU only has 3 wires: red, white, and the bare wire. the neck has all 5. are they special pickups with special instructions? is the pickups no good? what? thanks.

  2. Would you just advise choosing which ever one of the two had a larger capacity then? I suppose at that price they’re both going to be at the same level…

    ya, id say probably that if you really wanted to go with one of the 2. but just to be sure, look the internet for an hour or two (if it takes that long) and FIND SOME REVIEWS IF YA CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. i think i know what you are asking. you wouldnt HAVE to get one that would cut more than 3 inches at a time, but its always best to go with as much cutting room as you can on a saw. and you probably couldnt even find one that cuts less than that :D

  4. hey. i was just wondering in what order you do your cuts when you scarf joint. like cut the neck shape first, then the head, etc. cuz whatever i can think of it would have at least one akward cut. like having to hold something very stedily on an angle, and crap like that. thanks in advance.

    btw if i didnt explain it very well just say something :D

  5. You might consider turning that right angle where the horn meets the bolt on neck extension into something a bit more cuvacious. In my experience, it's very difficult to get "hard" inside angles like that looking professional. Even a 1/8" radius would do it some good. This will be especially true when it comes to sanding, whether it be before or after the finish is applied. That's just my $.02 though.

    peace,

    yeah, its supposed to be more curvy, but its just the general shape, not sanded or anything. it was a big bandsaw blade, so i couldnt do anything very tight.
  6. dunno much about acoustics, but ive never seen any elec necks that taper all the way through. (that dosent mean that thats true) but there isnt really a uniform thickness. just make sure its not to thin, and you like the feel. my jackson is about 3/4 inch from top of board to bottom of neck. hope it helps.
