  1. I might even be able to make a tailpiece out of metal... Thanks for the suggestion, I think I may try it But then it wouldn't match the bridge so well, now would it?...unless you make the bridge out of metal as well. Furthermore, do you have the resources to get metal chrome or nickel plated, should make a metal tailpiece. Take these factors into consideration. I guess so, and taking more thought to it I decided on using ferrules instead. One question about the bridge you made though... Where did you get the posts for it? Or at least what would they be called so I can look around to get them?
  2. I have to say that wood for the fretboard is pretty spiffy I like it
  3. I might even be able to make a tailpiece out of metal... Thanks for the suggestion, I think I may try it
  4. Ohhh thanks that's really helpful I might just try that I'm assuming the strings would have to come through the body though?
  5. Thanks But how would I do that? I'm kinda new to all this...
  6. For my first build I'm going to need a 5 string bridge.....but all I can seem to find are bass bridges which are wayyyy too big to use on an electric mandolin. Perhaps there is a way to convert a 6 string into a 5 string? I dunno
  7. I've already got the measurements that I needed.... I think A new work-in-progress should be coming up soon
  8. That would be great if you could Thanks
  9. Actually I have, several of them. After a bit of researching I found that others who had the same amp have had this problem...so that has to be it.
  10. I had posted a thread on this before... and not sure where to put it. But this time I have a more specific question. Wouldnt the nut measurements on a mandolin be the same if I were to build an electric mandolin? If so, does anyone know where I could get these measurements? Fretting the instrument is my top concern right now...
  11. I play basically anything from old rock to punk rock... looking at a marshall 50watt that seems to be good due to it's ratings on musiciansfriend.com spazzyone- the only problem I have with mine is a popping noise while playing which lowers the volume every so often. I have a feeling it's the speakers...since everything else on it works fine and the sound is clear as ever with headphones plugged in. Also, I have a line 6 POD so effects built into another amp wouldnt really be needed.
  12. I'm also not sure whether to go with a tube or solid state amp...but Marshall was one of the ones I was looking at...
  13. Just wondering what some of you guys would recommend as far as an amp... My guitar's a Fender Standard Telecaster and the Line 6 amp I have now just isnt cutting it (really bad popping noises and volume problems...not sure whats wrong with it...) (The amp I have now is a Spider II 75watt)
  14. It's a "Baja" beginner guitar that I've had for two years now...
  15. I just looked it up, and it is indeed wood. But it doesnt say what kind of wood. Just 'hardwood'. Possibly the wood it's made of is just heavier than others? Because I have picked up other guitars that were much lighter than mine.
  16. Thats why I'm not so sure about getting a kit. I want to get something better, not worse than what I have now. I mean, I'm used to the frets on my guitar now... there doesnt seem to be a problem with them. The most I'd have to do to modify mine is replace the pickups. Unless I wanted a wood body...which I'm not so sure is possible... It has a bolt on neck... so changing the body may be another option? As I said, it's too heavy
  17. That does seem a lot easier than joining peices yourself The only problem I have with my guitar now is the weight. It gets very tiring to hold while playing for a while, I think the body's solid....plastic If I could somehow pick up a tele or something with a thinner body I'd be good to go...
  18. I'd most likely end up replacing most of the hardware anyway... If I had the money I would be attempting to build my own custom guitar... but I have no idea how much that roughly costs for the wood and everything.
  19. I'm thinking about getting one of those SAGA kits to build my second guitar... since I have no experience in building whatsoever. The guitar I have is still the first one I've had, a cheap phony strat... and I havent gotten a new guitar even though my playing is more intermediate now than beginner... So, should I just try to modify my current guitar (it IS quite heavy though, probably because of the body) or buy one of those kits?...
