    awesome

    well i know on standard floyd w/ standard strings.. you can detune from standard E to Drop-D without messing with the locking nut or etc. I would pretty much keep the fine tuner for hte low E as close to the bottom as i can get it while still being able to keep it tuned to E....and then whenever i wanted to drop it down to D...i'd just use the fine tuner ... worked for me. But I dunno if that would work on speedloaders.

    if only it were that easy..

    you couldn't have clicked the thread ...three posts down from this one... before posting this?
  5. YDoesGodMockMeSo
    www.guitarbuild.com i believe has one.
  6. YDoesGodMockMeSo
    You may be right, in fact, I'm almost positive you are. lol Anyway, anyone know a good method or have measurements for the recess? nope.... i just plan on recessing all my bridges
  7. YDoesGodMockMeSo
    whoa...14.5 degree angle.... I THINK you have NECK angle confused with HEADstock angle. Neck angles are generally between 1-3 degrees. Headstock angles can range from 0-13 (or even more prolly) Oh to get around making a neck angle..you can recess the bridge a bit. I'm not sure if u can with the wraparound PRS stle bridge...but I know the other TOM and stopbar pieces can be recessed (I think Wessomeone) did that with one of his Vs.

    or you can use the extra cut off from the body and an extra peice of wood (the thickness of ur template) and make a channel around where you're routing..so u don't have to worry about balancing...because it'll be supported on one half by the guitar and template...and the other side with the cut off and extra wood. It may take a bit longer because you might have to stop and restart in order to move the support and adjust it so its all ok and even. Thats what I did on my second body and it came out a lot nicer than my first.

    Nah. the 3+3 isn't limited to just soloists or USA made guitars. The one in the picture is an import (SLSMG). Its also on the KV-2T (USA KingV) the AT-1T (USA archtop soloist from mid-late 90s) and a couple of new ones that I've seen but don't remember. I first saw it a number of years ago on the AT-1T and fell in love with it. And I saw pictures of it when I was designing my custom neck. The head IS angled, but I really don't think its more than 9 like carvins.

    ^ do u mean the standard jackson head stock? or this gorgeous headstock?
  11. YDoesGodMockMeSo
    Jackson's 3+3 is angled back..i. dont think its 13degrees..prolly closer to 9 like carvins.... but *my* neck that someone is building is jacksons 3+3 @ 13deg. and the tuners are supposed to be drilled so the string is straight..... *crosses fingers*
  12. YDoesGodMockMeSo
    but maybe his initials *ARE* SRV? Sean Ricky Valenz? or...whatever
  13. YDoesGodMockMeSo
    u can string the guitar w/ the ballend at the tuners.... as for removing strings, you can put something in the recess under the fine tuner area ..like an eraser...some playing cards....a 9V battery wrapped in electrical tape. anything will keep the spring tension there...while u restring and/or clean the fretboard and/or clean the bridge.
  14. YDoesGodMockMeSo
    theres a CAD of the rhoads at guitarbuild.com seems accurate..but its for neckthru...so u'l have to design a neckpocket.
  15. YDoesGodMockMeSo
    well, like i said before in another thread, according to my measurements the nut should be able to sit right on the neck blank with a 3/16" fingerboard and tall frets... infact i might even have the shim the nut with the approriate shims i have here to get it up to the right height. \ LGM said he had some problems with it, hopefully i have it worked out right on this neck yeah..i hope you have it worked out too....
  16. YDoesGodMockMeSo
    you should draw here everything will go (to scale)..see if you can shave some of the butt off.
  17. YDoesGodMockMeSo
    *hopes Derek knows what he's talking about*
  18. YDoesGodMockMeSo
    ^ nah..the monkey was rafiki
  19. YDoesGodMockMeSo
    mufasa?
  20. YDoesGodMockMeSo
    you haven't failed hynsu...just made a mistake..no biggie... it'll be a fine neck i'm sure.
  21. YDoesGodMockMeSo
    ^ looks like an Explorer / SG hybrid.
  22. YDoesGodMockMeSo
    It was sarcasm directed to another member that believes stewmac is the end all be all tool supplier. I dunno where, if, you can get 5/8 neck furrels. But for future reference, it might be better for people to find the 15mm bore bit. I *believe* (no pictures) that they are out there (Forstner) for $10.
  23. YDoesGodMockMeSo
    oh ok.
  24. YDoesGodMockMeSo
    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you like it.... go with it The neck pocket looks wierd. I dunno...it just seems too long. (Up to you and youre feeling really)
  25. YDoesGodMockMeSo
    But according to a member here you just bought a tool that does their job accurately, properly AND saved you more than you mighthave spent buying (probably the right tool) elsewhere. So obviously, the fault lies within you.
