    Interested in the walnut. If you still have it, how much do you want for it, and how would you like payment? Thanks.

    I second that. It looks sick.

    I play a fender 72 telecaster custom reissue, and I love the thing, but I hate the dramatic change between the bridge and neck pickups. I like the sounds seperately: the fat, full sounding neck and the thin, squawky bridge, but I'd really like to be able to get a nice clear single coil neck tone. I was wondering if anyone know's whether it's possible to wire a coil drop on my neck pickup without replacing anything radical? I don't know whether it has a four conductor wiring, so that'd be a good place to start. It's a fender FH-1. I have an old schaller humbucker with a chrome cover and four conductor wiring lying around, but it's a little small, and I'd really prefer not to dick with my guitar to terribly much. So if anyone has any insight, that's awesome. Thanks.

    So I've been looking at crazy heavy metal guitars, and this one popped up. It's an abstract "rockingbat" I think it looks sick, and a loose copy would be cool, but I don't know about craving a top like that. What would that entail? Is it a good idea to even think about it?

    It's black locust. I've got a big stand of them in my yard, and two fell over about 2 years ago. I cut them into 8 foot sections last year. It's great to hear that it'll work in my project, as I do have a nice, straight grained piece. The wierdest thing about it is the smell though. I swear, it smells like barbeque, its really wierd.

    Yeah, I just "acquired" a nice cherry log from my local baseball field. It's not long enough for a neck, but I'm hoping I can get a carved top blank out of it. It looks nice.

    Alright, I cut a test blank to see what the locust looks like. Its really cool looking, I dont know how it would hold up as a neck though. The blank I cleaned up was too small for a real neck, so I cut a much bigger one, that im letting dry at the moment. O, and I just acquired a nice cherry log from my local baseball field that's been sitting there for a while. I'm hoping I can get a blank for a carved top out of it.

    I have a couple of big locust logs lying around my back yard from a tree that fell over last year. They're fairly dry, and are perfect candidates for quartersawing into a neck, or neck laminates. Has anyone ever used locust as a tonewood before? Would it even work? Thanks.

    I'm still digging for an idea for my next project. My dad really wants a dobro, but he's too cheap to spring for one, so I was thinking I could build a resonator guitar. Of course, it'd be a little too ambitious to try to do a fully acohustic guitar as my second build, with the little skills I have, so I was wondering if anyone's ever seen a solid body guitar with a resonator cone. Maybe with a magnetic and a peizo pickup? Thanks.

    Stewmac. http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bodies,_necks,...uitar_Neck.html Fretted, blank headstock, ebony fretboard. Good luck with your project.
  16. the telecaster kid
    Yeah i bought one there, it's awesome.
  17. the telecaster kid
    Dude, that looks sick. Shocklingly reminscent of a guitar i planned a while ago. Still toying with it, it may be a bit ambitous for my skill level...
  18. the telecaster kid
    Wow, that looks absoultely sick!
  19. the telecaster kid
    I've also been thinking about using snakewood as a fretboard in my next project. How much would you want for a piece like that?
  20. the telecaster kid
    fret lines drawn. I'm going to put thin strips of rosewood where the lines are.
  21. the telecaster kid
    Fretboard attached, trimmed and sanded. Radiusing tomorow, along with sanding the rest of the bass.
  22. the telecaster kid
    Yes, nervous. And fretless basses are cool, but mostly nervous.

    Alright, this may come as a dissapointment to some, but I've decided not to do a hollowbody. This isn't cause I don't think i can do it, well, not completely why, it's cause my dad just dropped an atom bomb on me. It turns out the old guy's had a 1972 fender Starcaster in the basement since the eighties. For those who don't know what it is, this is one: Since he let's me play it, I no longer need a hollowbody. So now I have no idea of what I'm doing for woodshop. I'm not dissapointed though, the starcaster is unbelievable.

    Well, I've got the new headstockblank glued on, and the shape drawn out. I just got my new fretboard blank, maple. It's going to be a fretless. And my arm is healing. I'm getting the stitches out soon. It doesn't even look that bad anymore.
  25. the telecaster kid
    That's actually inkscape. I just got it, so I haven't figured everything out. Made it a little rounder though, more es-like.
