  1. Thanks! infact i just made another one....... not as good and i cant remember what you call those things so i called it royal.... anyway here you are....
  2. And now so is yours! i made the last hearts smaller as people suggested so could you update the one on your site ?
  3. the originals are here on this site... http://projectguitar.com/tut/inlayimages.htm
  4. Hey all, after seeing the inlay template/drawings done by VDL guitars i decided you modify one and customize it....... its pretty simple but none-the-less its another design for people to use...... what you all think?
  5. i think the inlays suit the guitar...... nice work dude!
  6. nope i havent.... but im thinking of makiung a replica of a ibanez. just dont know what model yet......
  7. Exactly! I always fill the holes (and contours of the inlays) with black dust and put a little drop of superglue on it. It will soak the dust and will become very hard. And after that just sand the surface. Wanna see the fretboard in real, made from real MOP shell? It's nog finished yet... Thats sweet!....... now all i gotta do is find sumwhere that sells the woods for body and neck and fretboard in the Uk.....
  8. Hey thats a nice tutorial! .... i got a question about that skull inlay you gave a link to... ( http://projectguitar.com/tut/inlay/Alexskulls.jpg ) You know the tiny eye and nose holes....... how will they be done? wud they be done by drillin little holes and filling them with a mixture of glue and fretboard dust/shavings?
  9. im outta school ... ( 17 ) i dont go to college ( didnt work out ) wanted to go to another college to do a guitar building course ( too far away ) ...... so i have all the time on my hands... im also trying to get a job at a airspray shop ( spraying helmits, stuff like like u know all that airbrush art ) which cud help moneywise.... and when spraying the guitar etc... but yea i have all the time on my hands and i know ill mess up... ( im the one laughing at my dad cos he's messing up a speaker cab were building.... a 4x12 by the way ) ... lol...... anyway yea.... thanks for the tips... anymore? a question about making a neck.. i looked a tutorial on here and its building a neck with 3 pieces stuck together.... u know if i dont want the middle one to be a different colour can i just get the same colour as the other pieces of wood ( what a newbie question ) Chris.
  10. hey, im in the Uk for starters.... and im located im Rotherham..... also jeremy id prefer not to send for anything from ebay from overseas......
  11. would you suggest trying to make a neck? making the body and neck my self would dramatically drop the price and be more what im looking for...
  12. what sutible woods are there that i can get cheaply? ive tried alder and ash but no look as they say that there ( the alder anyway ) is as rare as hens teeth
  13. hey all, since im having trouble trying to find some decent wood where i live im gonna have to i think send of for a piece of alder pre-cut... ( only routed for neck )... anyway.... i was just wondering what cost people nmormal play building their own guitars? am i right in thinking its suposed to save money or not? heres is a list of a few things i want to get to build a pretty much exact replica of kurt cobains guitar.... which at the moment is pricing up pretty hefty.. Alder Jaguar Body - £138.60 Neck 22 fretts unfinised with binding - £125.40 Jaguar Pickguard - £37.20 Control plates - £8.30 £8.30 £8.30 Jaguar Tremolo/locked - £33 Bridge - £28.90 thats already priced up to £388 and i have even added bits like knobs, jack inputs, pickups, paint, etc etc..
  14. lol........ thats what i had to go back and redo all the first ones for..... im just bad at spelling that word.... ah well.... it really wud be a 'custom' logo wudnt it
  15. ok ....... ive tried doing somethign to another one of my logo's is this one ok? and surely things will become jaggier once u zoom in becos ur seeing the actual pixels? anyway have a look at this one....
  16. Would it be possible for anyone to do a test one? i mean at the moment i dont have the nescercary equipment to do it and wud like to know what they look like ( or one of ur choice, may the custom looking one )..
  17. hey all, as i was reading the other topics about logo's i decided to have a go at making my own.... i made 4 diff cols anyway heres the link.. i dont know if they can be used or not you'll have to tell me but i have made them transparent ...( note if u have i.e explorer 6 or higher u may need to resize them ) http://www.mp014a6065.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk...enderlogos2.gif EDIT : MODIFIED
  18. yeah they are going to be right handed.... and brian... maybe you'll have some additions.. im gonna need all the help i can get..... im only 17.... ive bin reading everything and anything i can tho on buildinga guitar etc..... ive got the melvin hiscock book.... full scale strat plans etc.... but if they turn out then of course they can be in the gallery
