I think litch used it in one of his guitars. Try doing a thread search. There might have been others, I can't remember off the top of my head.

I have a question for those of you that use the press, is there a groove in the surface of the arbors for the fretwire to sit in or is it just radiused but otherwise flat?

-Vadim

Sorry, I didn't know you were female. As far as the ovation style agile acoustics, no I didn't play them as I have never like composite bowl backs. Just a matter of preference.

nyjbkim: I would say spend the time to go out there if you are looking into getting a guitar. I would never buy somehing i had not played. Granted it is 20 minutes to rondo from me.

I have a set of dual design ones on there now, and was thinking of just sinking it down to before the reciever swells. But that was before i knew there were purpose-made recessed ones.

-Vadim

anybody know where i can find flat mount strap locks like on this page? btw, i have a the regular ones.custom basses

-Vadim

hey guys

I have a dillion 500x

and use dunlop strap locks. I hate how far forward on the strap lock the strap sits, so i was thinking of counter-sinking the reciever for the strap lock with a bit just big enough for the reciever to fit in the hole and just have it sticking out enough for me to attach a strap. good idea? bad idea? will this weaken the upper horn at all? Thanks

dude, check out This guitar I played one a few weeks ago and it rocked. Its is however dreadnaught shaped.

-Vadim

As far as your winged idea goes, its seems to me like it would be possible to do 4 strings straight and 4 fanned, etc by slotting the two sections seperately and then gluing the two halves together. I guess it would be extremely difficult to get the fret slots to line up perfectly and getting the fretwire to bend exactly might be a hassle but it is definately doable without a CNC.

-Vadim

if my previous post seems at all irreverant, it was not my intention. The home-made sustainer is a freakin brilliant idea.

-Vadim

(I'm still confused as to how the piezo one worked then, cause from what i understand they don't produce a very strong magnetic field.)

I was thinking about this the other day.... the driver in the speaker moves the cone with ELECTROMAGNETIC OSCILATIONS. Wouldn't it make sense for the pickups to then pick up those osillations (which they are designed to sense) and not the actual sound produced by the cone. Cause decent quality potted pickups should not be succeptile microphonics on a sufficient level to reproduce sounds. just my two cents.

-Vadim

btw, this means that it would be possible to prototype this mod without taking apart your guitar.

just out of curiousity, how old are you guys and what are your majors. I am assuming most of the students here are engineers. I am a 20 yo biomedical engineering major.

consider this thread.....

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiijacked.

yo, I went and played one of those agile swamp ash lp's last week. Rondo music is 20 minutes from my school. The majority of their LPs pretty nice, the swamp ash ones however were horribly finished. You could feel the grain when you run your hand over the finish. All the LPs I saw were proper dimensions btw.

I guess that makes sense, but my zoom 707 has never had a problem. With the behringer we are talking about a half beat worth of delay, making it pretty rough to use live.

was that the hawk the would fly back to his master, transform in mid-air into a tape and slide into the guy's chest. Cause that was my fav too

Weezerboy,

I just did a search at http://vamp.hyperboards.com and they say the solution to the lag issue is to set the modeler to L2, I don't think that my friend's amp has that setting, but I figured it would be useful for you.

-Vadim

hey guys,

One of the guys at my frat just got a behringer gmx212. Its a 2x50 watt modeling amp. When you hit the channel switch footswitch there is a really annoying delay between when you hit the pedal and the other channel kicks in. Do any of the other behringer users have this problem and can it be solved?

-Vadim

One of the guys at my frat has an awesome Japanese Contemporary Strat with the non-rear router, locking fender trem (i mention it to see if anyone has info on the trem, cause it rocks). Anyway, the guitar is all black and has those glow in the dark stars kids put on their ceilings over the fret marker dots, they make em in circles too. its cheesy, but i'm not a fan of light-up guitars to begin with. my 2 cents.

-Vadim

By far... electronics and instrumentation. My professor dronning on about diodes, transistors, and op-amps does nothing but make me wanna go home and re-wire stuff. I have some pretty cool ideas for "intelligent" switching that i'll post if i ever implement 'em this summer.

-Vadim

btw, we just got a new tv in the apartment. Someone threw it out a pretty nice TV cause the power button broke off. I took it apart and soldered in a pair of leads going to a radioshack momentary SPST and it works like new.

Hey guys,

a few people have mentioned these kind of devices. I know radioshack has 'em (I used to work there) but definately not for this price.

7 bucks well spent.

-Vadim

Kent Armstrong makes one too.

Anybody use grover locking tuners? I dunno, theres something about that grover "dimple" that just plain awesome.

Thanks

Hey Guys,

What is the best way to cut the slit for a strat type blade control switch in a maple top?

-Vadim

hey guys,

I wanna run headphones off of my multi effects pedal, but it only has a mono out. Can I just split the one hot coming off the pedal to the two hots on the headphones? Thanks

-Vadim

btw, I did promise to prototype the sustainer mod this past weekend and get back to everyone with my results. But after playing around with a fernandes guitars at GC thought better of it. I guess I was expecting something else from the system. SOrry.
