    I'll put up a picture tomorow, my camera wont take a close enough photo so i'll have to use the one at work.

    ok, ive tried it on a block inlay and it doesnt look that great. I would probably stick to using it for dots only. Its looks to messy in a block inlay anyway.

    Im about to try this in a block inlay, i'll post the pictures when ive done it.

    If you plaining, use the longest plain you can find. But if the wood is getting chewed up and the plain keeps sticking, i would go for the sanding block. Also try sharpening you plain blade.

    heres a post with a very helpfull picture and explination... http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.ph...036&hl=neck

    Thats not really helpfull is it mate. If you dont have an answer to the blokes question, why post a reply? Ok mate, there are a few posts in this forum detailing how to work out the neck angle for any type of guitar. I would suggest you look back a few pages and you'll find what your looking for.

    Thats just what mine looks like too mate. Should look great once its sanded and stuff.

    Maple will give you slightly more attack on the notes when used as fretboard (compared to RoseWood) I doubt that you would hear much of a difference in tone. Finish with tung or danish oil and wax. I don't like lacquered boards. Will that help bring out the flame in the wood?

    mmmmmmm spalted?

    I've never played a guitar with a maple board on it. Id like to know how it feels and stuff as well. We only have one guitar shop in Aber, and they dont like people playing the guitars..... it sucks....

    Those pickups rings look sweet setch, did you make them? Its a good use for nice wood thats not really big enough for anything else.
  12. prauny
    Indeed, Aber rocks!!! I live up here, have done for about seven years now. What effect do you think it had on the sound prs man? or how it played?
  13. prauny
    Yeah, and ive seen maple fretboards on Warmoth les paul necks too. I like the look. Just wondered what it would do to the sound really. I will be using it anyway. I'll try and get a picture up of it. Its actually a really old floor board that was being thrown out. Skips are wonderfull things!!! Hey Sambo, im in Aberystwyth. Do you build guitars?

    This may be completely off track, but ive seen bolt on SG's and they seem to have practicly NO sides to their neck pocket. At least the part of the neck with the fret board on anyway has no sides to it.

    The old Gibson 'The Paul' was made from Walnut. Ive not heard it mtself, but people tell me its sounded great.

    I have a nice piece of flamed rock maple which is only usable as a fretboard (too thin and small for anything else). Would a maple fret board be a good idea for a mahogony neck and body? Any ideas what it would do to the tone? The guitar i plan will probably be a les paul'ish design with two humbuckers.

    Yes its sapele mate, cheap at the moment, free for me I cut the body in a mates workshop, and the work shop is far far away. I can get hold of the off cuts, but i'd have to wait. I just wanted to know what type of dye to use for my type of wood, and as i already have the water dye i wondered if that would do. Dont worry mate, im not about to just slap the dye on the body without testing it out first. And thanks for the tips dude

    I cant make tinted finishes mate, but thanks for your input. Its going to be a wine red colour so it seems that i'll be ok.
  19. prauny
    I have made a strat body from african mahogany, and would like to dye it. Is there a good dye for this type of wood? I have some water dye at the moment, but i dont want to try it only to find it does'nt dye evenly and mess it up. Any info? I also dont have scraps to try it out on...

    Its just a small chip in the front of the guitar, about 5mm long and wide. A little white around the edges. Its where the screw holding the gaurd onto the bracket has been pressed into the guitar top. Sorry, no pictures as my camera wont take pictures closer than a metre.
  21. prauny
    Anybody?
  22. prauny
    Its under the scratch plate, and its the only reason ive not removed the scratch plate (its a les paul copy) as i prefer it without the plate. How can i repair this? Ive read that poly is not easy to spot repair, but ive read about using nail varnish to fill small chips and dents. Would that work on poly? Thanks in advance
  23. prauny
    Ive heard of people putting masking tape on the spot where they want the hole to minimise cracking. Its meant to work well.
  24. prauny
    Its also known as Baby oil (the baby oil has been fragranced). Would it be a wise move to use baby oil as a fret board conditioner?
  25. prauny
    I dont see why it should'nt work mate. If it can stand the strain of having the string tention as a body, it should be fine as a fret board. I dont know how it would effect the sound though.
