    you found it? I didn't see any of them that uses this system now I'm thinking about machine screws bolt-on. wanna try a lot of things, only one guitar to build.
  2. Ricky Anderson
    yeah, it looks complicated, and I think they're the only one who uses that method. I checked their site yesterday and found nothing about this system, even on their guitars and basses. still confused about that bolt since they said "the neck is held in place by the pull of the strings alone". still waiting for the bridge and some woods. and flight ticket to go back home, dang expensive

    I might try Covered Neck Fixing that I read in Martin Koch's book. but I can't find any info about that system on the web. anybody tried it before? is there any (dis)advantage from that system? it looks like this: it says the neck is held in place by the pull of the strings alone, but there is a bolt on the pic if I can't figure it out until building time, gonna stick with bolt-on thanks in advance

    wreck, the OP, is an alien... he (they?) came here to show us strange technique in guitar building, then left us wondering same effect that we get from crop circle. ok, I read too much sci-fi during high school

    what the heck is that chambering style? you're crazy dude now let me flip those pics. so I can look at them correctly

    @OP: in your first post in this thread, you said fboard is ebony. but that looks different. in my country, we have wood that look similar like that, mostly for fboard, called nibong. it looks like this: sorry, don't have pict of mentioned fboard

    creepy

    I think I get it now. so the color that will come up is the result of that method, right?
  9. Ricky Anderson
    ok, so in this step, did you put any colour stain or just that solution? or is that an option to put colour stain? then we still have to apply oil, right? the final result is like 3D effect? what if we use nitro instead of oil? last one, instead of heat gun, can we use hair dryer? thanks a bunch mate, I love to learn new technique in finishing

    ok Shad (quoting ae3), since this is project guitar and I think there's no secret here, are you gonna tell us how?? I'm sure everybody here wants to know talking about natural sugars in the wood, is it gonna make any difference(s) compare to regular staining method? I mean, are the sugars gonna build a layer on the surface, kinda clear film?

    I saw you on another board and like they said, your price is crazy (in a good way)

    btw, that's not the final design since I requested 2 pivot points trem instead of 6 screws mounting type.
  13. Ricky Anderson
    after months of discussion with Aldridge, he came up with couple of designs for my trem. here they are: 1st design-----------------> 2nd design-----------------> I like the 2nd one, because once I put it on my guitar, it won't look like multiscale trem, so people will think it's just another standard trem the most important thing is, this trem is one of a kind, I'm gonna be the only person who has this (at the moment)
  14. Ricky Anderson
    maybe I'm gonna start with most important thing (to me) in this build, tremolo bridge. first, I take a standard bridge design from Aldridge Empire, then put some (crappy) editing: after that, I drew my own design, like these: wait a minute, that's just the trem block design after thinking for a long time, I decided to go with the one on the right. then I made my trem design: first design----------> second design---------> I prefer the second one, so once I put it on my guitar, nobody will realize at first glance if it's a multiscale trem ps. some people literally laughed at me when I showed them those trem designs, but I think now I can laugh at them... I'll explain later

    still remember this?: exactly 1 more month before I come back to my country, I already have plan to build another guitar so this build thread will go very slow, since I won't start the building process 'till I get home my concept this time not to different from my previous build, just make few changes, such as: - 6 stringer - shorter scale (24.75"-25.5") - tremolo bridge (major point on this build) - my own pickups, built by someone else actually, but wound to my exact specs design wise, I still use the same design, only a little bit smaller. and I try to use local material as much as I can. wish me luck

    wow
  17. Ricky Anderson

  18. Ricky Anderson

    how about fake binding? fake binding when you use waterbased colourstain, not paint. I still don't know how to avoid colour bleeding (masking tape won't work). and yeah, scarf joint as well cheers!!!

    strandberg, anyone? oh, myka as well
  22. Ricky Anderson
    chisel? I did neck pocket like that it was PITA
  23. Ricky Anderson
    KPCrash, I just used whatever kind of paint I could find in my country. we have very limited option here. I've tried some paints: synthetic paint, oil based paint, automotive paint, wood paint. for my latest swirl, I used wood paint, basically oil based paint. if I could get testor, I might try it as well. last time I tried to take some testor home, the UCBP took them away from my luggage at LAX
  24. Ricky Anderson
    I'm talking about TGP and for OP, could you show us (or me, in this case) how to do this trapezoid neck profile, step by step. I might try it in my next build. cheers!!!
  25. Ricky Anderson
    and how about the feel when you're playing it? I mean the edges, do they affect your thumb position or you just feel it like traditional neck?
