Hi. If you put rusty metal parts in vinegar and then leave it there for about 2 weeks then you have a nice black stain that works well with oak and other woods with high content that acid (tannin?? not really sure about the english word for it.), and also has a mild darkening effect on other woods as well.

You can fill the hole and hide it with a nice veneer.

Plus it can be very pretty as well!

You could cut the head of diagonally (viewed from the side), like a scarf joint but a bit out on the head, and the glue on another piece. Not sure if it would be strong enough though as you probably would have to strengthen it with some dowels..

It looks really good! How did you get the idea for that long neck pocket? It looks really nice.

Those monitors looks good. Yeah I have looked at harmony-central but they have a _lot_ I am having a hard time finding out what to buy

From what I have heard it is a good body wood. Haven't seen it on so many guitars but there are quite a few elm basses out there, I think it is suited for a deeper and more bassy sound. I say go for it. Only bad thing with it is that it smells quite bad when you work it.

Ok. Thanks for the advice, I'll look if we have one there.

Hello. Today in the woodshop I was about to drill the holes for the machine heads, but then I discovered that the pole was 6mm thick and the "washer"(?) was 8mm.. Should I drill the holes 8mm all the way through or drill them 6 mm from behind and then an 8mm hole that starts from the front and is deep enough for the "washer"(?)? The machine heads are cheap ones from an Epiphone. Best regards, Ben. PS My technical english is not so good, hope you understand what I mean.

Beech is very dense and stiff so I think it would last quite well. But I have heard that it moves a lot when the climate changes, not sure about that though..

Excuse me, but what do you mean by slave it?? Do you simply mean connect it to a power amplifier and then out to the speakers??? The box (g2.1u) has two modes, "Live"-mode and "Record"-mode.. I think it must mean it has a preamp.

For the project I am working on now I bought a whole new guitar and took most parts from (and then auctioned out the body and neck ) , it didn't even cost half as much as it would do if I bought all parts separately.

Depends on the amp. For the most part, you can't. I think you'd need a stereo effects loop and stereo speaker outs. I don't really want it _that_ loud as it is only for practicing at home. It doesn't need to have any distorsion/effects since I just want to use it after my zoom box. If I can't get a really cheap stereo guitar-amp I consider buying two instead and connect it with a y-cable. The Peavey that Nitefly SA recommended seems to be almost what I want. The valve jr is a little too expensive for me, but the size is really good.

The fender look god but it is a little expensive if I want to get two of them.. Isn't there any stereo amps in that pricerange?

That one sure looks promising
