    Should be ok if the bridge is recessed.

    Wow, i have just seen history being made! Almost 5 years has to be a record of some kind, right?

    Sanding Sealer You don't. Yes.
  4. RGman
    That is true, but some drill presses have troubles with any side load.

    If your going to scrap it why not give it a go? These forums are always here and we usually try our best to guide someone through the task at hand and answer any reasonable questions asked. Whoa, long sentence.

    You could look into the different materials used to build the bridges and their affects on sustain?
  7. RGman
    Well that would really depend on the year it was made, but i can tell you the old ones used the gotoh made edge bridge, the best is the original IMO.

    Please help me with this! I've had several goes at swirling now, and here are the problems: 1. The ratio of borax to water - is there a rough formula? 2. Is the water temp important? 3. Some colours just go thick and blobby, and won't really swirl on the water 4. How do you get the water droplets off after you've pulled it out? 5. How do you finish the completed paintjob? Do you sand after swirling? Greatly appreciate any help with this! Thanks, DJ BTW - you can get borax on eBay! 1. I just keep on putting it in until it doesn't dissolve easily, so a lot really. 2. Wouldn't think so, i have only used cold water though. 3. Are they matte or gloss? Experiment. 4. Hair dryer will do it, though the body can drip dry too. 5. Needs to be clear coated. Also get borax at most super markets and hardware stores.

    I think we all did some thing on our first builds that we would now call stupid mistakes, all about the learning progress i guess. My first build was a set neck telecaster, i made it by gathering dimensions from my own guitars..I really wish i had PG as a resource then, would of been a great guitar!

    The Original Edge.

    I think it's a continuation of the "Guitar Burning" argument.

    A touch of chorus and a little less delay for me.
  13. RGman
    There is a way (maybe copying it into word?) that gets it exactly to scale, can't remember exactly but i found out from PG, search around.

    Gibson used to drill random holes to reduce weight right?
  15. RGman
    Search "Headstock" in wikipedia.

    Software surprisingly sounds good!
  17. RGman
    Too true.

    If the two plates were screwed together you would either need a thick block to accommodate some strong bolts, or risk the string tension breaking smaller bolts. In the end it may be cheaper and easier for someone to do 5 minutes of milling.
  19. RGman
    It is common in older jems, before they became AANJ.
  20. RGman
    Folding will be difficult without the a sheet metal folder, it will be very difficult to hammer brass in a vice. The L shaped piece could be also be machined with a milling machine out of a block of brass.

    I find myself playing blues on my Maton EM325C, not an electric but hey.

    -1, for working in hurry. I hope this "very special chick" likes disabled due to stupidity kinda guys.
  23. RGman
    One of those reasons is going somewhere, either in my profile or signature!!
