    Did killemall mean weird looking wood ? I´d feel myself uncomfortable if someone was staring at me from a guitar lid.

    I think that fretboard is cool looking. Can´t wait to see it finished.

    Here´s what i think about the desing. Dont´take it seriously thou. If you want a neck joint wich enables neck to move. It would have to be a loose joint. All this makes me to ask. Hmm.... Loose neck joints, anyone ? Probably that desing works also as a tremolo. But only if you are fast enough to turn the hex key.

    I´ve been happy handplane user for a quite a while. Until now, I discovered that I can´t use lever cap correctly to hold blade in place. The switch is rounded and worn from underside This is Stanley Bailey´s plane bought as new. Owned for less than a year. Have I misused my plane or is this common problem ? Are there any DIY solutions to replace or fix lever cap ? I´m not sure if anyone sells replacement parts around here.

    I checked your current build and it does look like truss rod is off center a little bit. Or is it just me ?
  6. VesQ
    That´s it! It´s not centered properly. I also had this in mind to leave it, but there´s still bridge to put. It will be off centered too. It´s a neckthrough guitar I´m trying to build.

    Of course I had to take a lesson on how to build guitars on hangover. And here´s result. http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/930/crappyzb9.jpg What would you do on a situation like this ? Remove fretboard and re-glue I guess, but I already did the head veneer wich makes sanding the neck difficult.

    there´s another one. http://www.jcfonline.com/resources/csgen/

    I use to packing tape to cover my cauls.
  10. VesQ
    You are not going to put any veneer on the headstock ?

    I really didn´t remember this thread http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.ph...&hl=simmons All it took was a little search.

    Yea, I was trying to remove oils and sanding dust

    I´ve been cleaning a couple of ebony fretboards before gluing with acetone. Does this stuff have any negative effect on Titebond and how good joint will be ? The reason I´m asking cause I removed one of those fretboards and it came off a little bit too easy, I think.
  15. VesQ
    I´m intrested too! That looks like the tremolo I had in my first guitar.The trem was real piece of c***.

    I´m building my first Les Paul and Ì´m in the same situation as you. And I too don´t want to buy tang nippers. I think that basic side cutters and file will do the job.
  17. VesQ
    I would glue the joint first then route slot for truss rod. and after that i´d glue sides to headstock. but that´s just me. You can do it like you want.

    Are there any known issues with gold paint ? I wanted to ask cause I´m about to paint a strat body with gold paint. And I wanted know what I´m against. Not that I would change my mind about this thou. It wont be any precious project.
  19. VesQ
    Well you could try http://www.viilukeskus.fi/swe/defaultswe.htm It´s not in Sweden but very near, In Finland Turku/Åbo.

    how thick is the fretboard usually ? how often you can see jumbo frets with separate fretboard on a strat? I mean those factory made guitars. I asked this cause I made a neck which doesn´t fit my strat. no matter how high i screw saddles in the bridge. strings still touch the frets. I think there´s two reasons for this. Jumbo frets and too thick fretboard(7mm). heel should be fine. it´s 19mm/0.75" thick. I guess I have to remove frets and start sanding. I´m not really happy if I have go through this route.

    Obviously guy needs attention so bad. Just glue up some body wings into your harp and call it a bass guitar.
  22. VesQ
    Years ago some guy at finish guitar building forum built a hole strat from acrylic, including neck too. He tried at first to do it without trussrod but acrylic was too flexible.
  23. VesQ
    It takes a real hard time to understand what you mean.

    I´d like to try this circle saw method to cutting angle on top. http://www.geocities.com/ccbryan/BuildLesPaul.html

    when i´m gonna be 28. then i`ve been playin guitar for 10 years just like you. I think Yngwie is one, my father and Ritchie Blackmore. First band that got me started was Metallica.
