  1. Hi, Would anyone one have dimensions or plans for this guitar? Thanks
  2. Nice thanks, thats not the one though. I have a slab that is 2.125" thick, was thinking about using this, and this pic I saw was incredable and it was not laminated to the best of my knowlege. Rob
  3. I found one site that had a BEAUTIFUL redwood electric solid body guitar (clear coated) I was looking for that pic. Thanks!
  4. Hi, would anyone have links to a few electric guitar makers such as thorn, I know there are a few out there just can't think of them. Thanks
  5. That schematic does not give you the full view so its a bit confusing, look at this site its so much better, keep in mind also some pups were not designed to be split three wire ones, others that are have 5 wires. diagram: http://www.guitarelectronics.com/product/WDUHH3T2206 look at another diagram all: http://www.guitarelectronics.com/category/...pickupdiagrams/ hope this helps! Rob
  6. i always put my left hand in my back pocket as a precaution. even better.
  7. You need an amp that rocks, two 12's are good very good but thats a loud amp too, unless you do two green backs at 30watts each and a master volume amp ...this all seems to be saying JCM800, something with a master volume though. For blues I have a real sweet spot for a Fender 5E7, but the JCM can do both. This type of amp kit would have three preamp tubes and two EL34 power tubes, its a kit that may be hard to do for a first time out and its a 50watter, but with a master you should be ok. Here is something you could build or buy if you wanted a project: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...;Category=10171
  8. Dude........people don't build guitars because its less expensive, they do it for the love of doing things for them selves same with amp builders. If this is not the case don't even bother, just buy an amp. All the amps I build are 100% from scratch so I am not a expert on kits. What type of music are you playing? This (saturation) is something I just broke ground on a year ago, with my mini jcm (prototype) basically its a low wattage amp with lots of gain at lower levels and is based on that circuit with a twist, you won't find a kit like that. I am presently working on a plexi jr and taking things I learned to the next level. Any one can build anything but getting things 100% just right is not always easy, you can follow all the directions in the world and the amp can turn out doing some strange things.......there are some very powerful magnetic fields crossing paths with ultra sensitive inputs.
  9. Look on this link then go to the bias link its on this page though you can't miss it: http://www.dreamtone.org/PJ.htm
  10. It is, but not if you wan't a compact version....... LOL
  11. Two things make the 5E7 harder, the bias circuit, then setting the bias. You do not do this in a 5E3, since it is cathode resistor biased, (a lot simpler )
  12. Yes, I made a 5E7, here it is: http://www.dreamtone.org/5E7.htm And I would do a 5E3 first, its also a very cool amp. I take it you play blues? Right....
  13. Not sure, I am not a fan of crate because of durability reasons. But I can say that I would rather have a Blues Jr. VS. this palomino. But a 5E7 has some really sweat tone! Its much above both these amps, but I still think the Blues Jr is a nice amp too.
  14. This site is great for guitar wire diagrams http://www.guitarelectronics.com/category/...ckerwiringmods/
  15. I would say it all depends on #1 you were happy with the tone, and how much a replacement one will cost. Also what speaker depends on what type of music you play. Check this place out http://www.avatarspeakers.com/
  16. I would recommend doing a Champ or a 5E3, BUT the 5E7 is a great amp so thats doable also its not that its harder to do just a bit more work. You problably can do it IF you take your time, and stop to ask questions if you are not sure. Remember that the capacitors can and will hold a burst of 400V even if the amp is unplugged, so you need to safely drain them with a home made discharge tool before you go back in the chassis to do more work, and always probe an amp with your right hand only and with the left hand by your side, and never work with music head phones on. If you survive all this then you can see if the amp works.
  17. Search for this member on this site, I think this is the person that did that web page & tutorial: Guitarfrenzy I should have been a detective
  18. Post the link of what you have, so we can have a better idea of what we are looking for.
  19. Well since you asked I would use either: ‘59 & JB Seymour Duncan or Pearly Gates & CC Seymour Duncan But defiantly standard full size pups
  20. Here are some steps you may need to do, make a set of line up marks in many locations like a 2" x 2" plus mark "+" this is for lining up multiple plots, then you can do a plot manager page set up for the size paper you are using save it with a name and set current, Then as mentioned above you use plot window to select all the different plot areas that you need based on your paper size and your plot scale is set 1:1. It also takes some practice printing with AutoCAD is never easy, though it has gotten a lot better. Also note even if you make a plot with a huge piece of paper, keep in mind moisture and climate can affect that sheet and it can expand or shrink .125" easy, so plot and use right away or check it in an x and y direction based on a pre determined lines on the drawing! Look its all right here on page 750 No, its not like a windows program. You have to do it all seperate, unless you go to a place that has a large plotter.
  21. What values are you using for the capacitors on the tone pots? Did you buy a 500k Audio taper pot on that tone control? Double check the wiring this is a great link for this kind of stuff. http://www.guitarelectronics.com/product/WDUHH3T2202
  22. I looked arround for this and I cam up with nothing, I was hoping some one would though. Maybe someone has the guitar plans and it will be on that?
  23. Yeah send me an email I think I can help you out some.
  24. Hi Tom: Just saw your post on the SG 1275 Plans, if you can send them to me that would be great. Thanks, Rob
  25. I have the same SG plans I also have Les Paul, Tele, Strat, and JBass plans by him. If you want some just PM me or something. Hi, can you send me some plans, I am looking for the SG, Tele, and LP All I have to swap is an SG CAD file if you wan't that I can sed it to you, just send me an e-mail at dreamtoneATcomcast.net By the way I wen't looking all over the net for the double neck wiring diagram, but no luck as of yet. Thanks, Rob
