Basically i've bought this SG Body And I want to fit a strat style neck into it. Now the neck pocket is full depth, so i'll have to fix a solid shim to raise it by about 13mm. But there's no gap between the heel of the neck and the pickup cavity. Does anyone know if this will present a problem ? Because the neck just about fit into the pocket with a small 1-2mm gap between the neck and the pickup cover.

Bust buying up parts for my first project, and i've come to buy the machine heads for a les paul head. Now i've no problem in identifying which ones i want, however the product description always describes the heads as 3x3 heads. Now to me that would mean 3 sets of 3 heads. But im not sure. Can someone please clarify to help me out abit?

Hi guys. Basically this is the design i'm interested in having on my guitar. http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/9236/dsc00004da2.jpg Now, painting it is going to be quite difficult obviously. So i was thinking of possible, shallow scribing the design into the wood. Then painting the body white. Then filling the indentations in black, as to keep the black paint from spilling over to the white, for a clean design. Anyone got any tips on this? Or maybe suggest a better way to pull this design off?

Thanks. Im just seeing as to how far and what limitations i can find. I'd like to be able to switch off and on humbuckers quite quickly, i.e On stage speed. My project, being my first, is just a simple Les Paul Custom in Alpine White. I've purchased the body (a B grade sunburst) and the neck (mape w/rose fret) and am currently midway through sanding down the body. (The neck is new). Am going to go for a simple, white body, with black pickguard and covers, topped with gold instruments and switches. Gonna use cheap, decent quality equipment first, to make sure everything is correct. Then slowly replace it with high quality equipment used in Les Pauls (spotted some nice Alnico 490's) Another detail i was going to try was to have roman numberals as inlays on my fretboard. After reading the tutorial on soldering inlays in. Im currently trying to get hold of some gold coloured solder. I've also tried my hand at designed my own colour scheme for my guitar. This is the most promising at hte moment: Lemme know what ya think, n i'll try and get some pics up once i finish work in a couple hours.

Hey guys, first post here. Am starting building my own guitar. Gonna be a Les Paul style. Basically i want to put three humbuckers into my guitar. But then have them on individual 2-way switches, so i can independently switch between variations. Has anyone had experience with doing this? Or more importantly, can anyone see any snags with this proposed setup?
