thats why i hate fender necks so gosh*expletive* much, and LOVE rg's.... I love flat, fretless boards...

sandpaper, exacto knife, a hand plane (non of that electric crap), files, and uhhhh, i dunno... my hands themselves. Available at: hardware stores, home depot, and hobby shops.

I don't think I could bring myself to shoot a guitar

ya, me neither. I'd cry...

Inless it was a fender, i would shoot one of those pieces of crap anyday. I hate em.

So my idea actually sounded good, but wasn't actually good, so i guess I'm halfway there!

so it is poplar? maybe? I should ask...

do they all? I didn't look very well, poplar would be OK for the cheap one i wanna build...

Whats th esmallest size bandsaw i could use to resaw wood, like a piece of wood half the size of the guitar body to resaw into a top or something? this is too small for just about anything, right?

This one looks like it's got good clearance. I need the cheapest one possible...

Oh yeah! My girlfriend's mom works at the local harbourfreight store, and she MIGHT be able to get me a discount! I love this girl! I think i'm gonna marry her! (no i won't)

I don't know HTML at all, i was just guessing...

an idea... wood takes a while to dry, so i'm guessign that alot of the honduras mahogany that people still have and are selling is a few years old, and was originally cut down previous to the honduras mahogany "ban". I mean, what is the government gonna do, replant the old mahogany back into the ground? Things like this take a while to kick in. I'll bet if the ban stays in order for a while, no one will be selling real honduras mahogany in a few years..... Think of prohibition. The government banned the production and sale of alcholol, not the consumtion or buying of it. So, the gov't was able to go into company's warehouses and shut down the factories and destroy their stash, but people who still had wine or whisky in their cellar were still aloud to drink it in their home, the gov't didn't bother to go in every house and destroy everyones bottle of red wine and such. Same with the wood, Larry and other people still have honduras mahogany in their basements ready to sell, but they can't get no more from the supplier, and soon they will run out.

I went to homedepot to see if they carried any hardwood (and to walk around the power tool section ) and all they carry is pine, and whitewood. This sucks. *** is whitewood?!?! is it hard or soft?

I gotta find a local hardwood supplier...

yea he should change it from euc-kr to eng

I've been seeing problems with that site. When I first entered it, I was asked if I wanted to download foreign language support (korean?). Now I'm seeing strange characters next to the descriptions. I doubt they intended to have a question mark after their part description for the floy rose locking nut. If they did, why the heck are they selling it if they don't know what it is?

Anyone else see these strange problems? Maybe somethings up on my end?

i am having similar problems. No biggie, though. It's just messed up text.

idea:if you used hide glue to put in the frets, wouldn't it be super easy to remove the frets with an iron?

nicce that $20 hardtail bridge and those $27 tuners look good for a cheap project i wanna start...

Heres an idea. Shoot the guitar once with a big revolver, or high powered rifle. Then make up a story that the guitar was your father's when he was young, and the guitar stopped the bullet, and saved his life. So he's had it for 30 years through thick and thin, and thats why it's so messed up.

That would be cool!

is their stuff good?

hahahaha. Dude that sucks. You cant refinish cardboard, eh? Unless you go over the existing one with like a solid color.... I want a half size acoustic. I have 3/4 size i converted to fretless but it's too big to play while in the car... so i need a half size fretless....

aerosol aint that bad... I have a tiny room, a few meters by a few meters, and i do all my spraying in there, and then stay in there to play playstation 2 while it readies for next coat. That's not what you wanna hear, though. I would use something better, like those grizzlys.

But I wouldn't bother with a mask unless i painted more than once a month.

soap bar, that pic is awesome. I hope no one gets mad at me for posting direct. I mean this thing is awesome!

It's a copy. Or a homemade body. the tummy contour on an ibanez Rg goes a bit farther down than that.

But than agai, don't all Rg's have a regular square/rectangle neck joint? I thought only the Vai's and such had those rounded at the top ones... And that 5-way switch looks too far up...

I spent an hour or two taking the fretboard off of my ibanez bass neck. Theres a problem, though. The truss rod has a strip of wood glue on top of it, which was betwen the rod and fretboard. How the heck do i get the wood out without damaging the rod?

No i said the voodoo chile thing. You told me i was wrong. I admittted but said i have alot of useless crap in my head. So you said it's good to have. And i said yeah, when it's right. Meaning that sometimes my crap is wrong and in that way the useless info is completely useless.

dude. ***?

Recently I've been studying the guitar body to see why it appeals, and realized it is imaginary lines. it's lines that are crossing the body to connect curves and horns to make oval shapes, a few of them. it's hard to explain. But in my mind (no offense) it doesn't stick out as sexy, i cant connect flowing lines, and etc. it just looks like a blob.

But as far as your CAD work, very nice. You are definately good.

Sorry if I offended ya.

It's good to remember when it's right.

I swer i got so much extra crap in my head i could win jeapordy...

veneer is thin. Maybe two maples to two purplehearts to two ebony to two others or something?
