i agree half way through with you renablistic. the radius on fender really didn't appeal me too much but then again, i don't know if eric clapton or malmsteen have any comment on it you get what i mean...

hai curtis, i just want to know, how are you going to build the guitar with the built in distortion and reverb? sounds intersting you know...

can't wait to see it man... after all the hardwork... you deserved it... i'm also finishing my neck this week while waiting for the body to be properly glued up together... it will have a three piece body which i will do either, a solid colour or material finish on mine... can anyone told me how to post the pics? i have some but i don't have any website to link it... anyone?

how about if i'm doing it with 10mm thick, fretboard? can this be done? or i need to plane it down? if its ok, then this fretboard got a lot of space for those fret tangs....

how do you post the pictures anyway? just asking, because i want to post some pictures...

can a rasp or a file be used for radiusing the fretboard? anyhow, i've got a 10mm, should i keep this thickness or cut it into two?

snork, your guitar body thickness is 2 1/4"? i mean, you could really do that? i am just wondering if i can do more than 2" of body thickness and here, you said its 2 1/4". wow... can't wait to see it man...

so, you mean, a nut can made out of ANYTHING? apart from wood, i do interested in making the nut from stell. the'submarine' sound that soapbarstrat talked about, sort of aroused my curiousity... what do others think?

can i use carving knife to carve my neck? anyhow, hope to see some answers to my question. i really kind of stuck a little bit without the info's.

hai again. 1. i want to know, how thick is the peghead after shaping? 2. can i use the accoustic guitar tuner instead of the electric ones? does the hole and size are the same? this is for experiment only and if a lot said it's not good, can you tell me why? or, is it ok for me to put whatever kind of tuner that i want? thanks westhemann & fidgec94. i've considered to make the route just a bit bigger than what i've seen and if the pickup is smaller than the route, i could always use pickguard right? i asked again this same question. 3. at what fret should the neck heel is carved and at what fret should the neck be jointed? i was planning on 17th fret as the neck heel and 19 is the neck joint. is it ok? is this possible? 4. my fretboard blank is almost 10mm thick. can i keep it that way? does it cause any inconviniece what so ever? thanks.

thanks for all the advice but i really need to know the depth of the pickup route. i will do some drilling (as i don't have any router) to make the groove and then chisel it out to make it nice, but i need to know the exact size and dimension. or, could i just make a swimming pool route? at what fret should the neck heel is carved and at what fret should the neck be jointed? i was planning on 17th fret as the neck heel and 19 is the neck joint. is it ok? is this possible? i kind of did a mistake in the neck making when i had shape the neck a little bit and then realised that i hadn't glued the ear. when i glued the ear, THEN i realised that my jigsaw isn't long enough to trim it. what should i do? i don't have a bandsaw or a drum sander. all i have right now is an impact drill and a jigsaw. someone, help? my fretboard blank is almost 10mm thick. can i keep it that way? does it cause any inconviniece what so ever? the body blank is a bit small as that's the only blank that i've got for free and i still have to bookmatched them in 3 pieces. can this be acceptable? the reason why i want to use only one humbucker pickup, is that, when i measure it, there's not much space for two humbucker pickup as they would be around 1 1/2" space b/ween them. or is this space acceptable? sorry for the lots of question.

a few more question this time. 1. pickup dimension? size? depth? the mounting ring size? 2. can a single humbucker pickup be used? thanx.

thank you for now i can do my work with a smile and lots of sweat... lol

ok, i will begin my project anytime now and i do need a few info's fast. 1. how thick can the body goes? i've seen people doing 2", can it be thicker or it can't? 2. i have a jigsaw which i used to cut the body shape and also the neck shape. can i still used it to cut the body and the neck to its final thickness or near to its final thickness? that's all for now. thanks.

i did look at the plan closely keith but i just don't find anywhere about the height of the roller bridge, the roller size, the block size, the height of different block and also the spacing guide for the roller to sit. can anyone who had built this kind of bridge help me with these infos?

hai, i accidentally stumbled onto a site that discuss on how to make brian may roller bridge and tremolo but the plans are seems to lack of height in bridge dimension. anyone can help me to sort this out? it looks cool you know...

what kind of flame is that drak? god !!! it's so... visual.... graphically stunned i would say...

but this is a neckthrough guitar. how can i do this repair? the tutorial at the main site by brian, only shows the crack at the headstock area and it's bolt on. but this is neckthrough.... how?

i don't have the pics right now as i don't have any camers to get the pics. btw snork, it's not a crack in the finish, its crack in the wood. my friend was thinking of thrashing it away but i'm still under negotiation with him if he could give me the guitar instead of thrashing it away. the crack is quite deep into the neck which i think, can't be reapired. but, then again, in this forum, you could always found someone with astounding ideas...

hai, i just want to know how to fix the crack in the neckthrough guitar. my friend had a copy of gibson sg with neckthrough neck, and it has crack a t afew spots. some are just before the fretboard and some of them are way down the neck and way down towards the body. is there any chance of repairing this crack?

hai, i'm just going to build my very first guitar any time soon and i'm just wondering if someone could show or give a detailed plan of making clamps?

mj_gant, since you don't want to use floyd trem no more, do you consider to sell them? i kind of need one of those in my guitar.

hai mikeB... go on dude... go on for your dreams... it rocks dude...

hai brian, sorry for entering this post but i can't seem to find the post of the making that icecastor. i've view it once (the post with construction pics only but without any details) but i can't seem to find it anywhere again. can you help?

i just want to ask, if i got some 1 1/2"w by 1 1/2"h and around 5/6 ft long, can i cut it into few pieces and glued them together to make, let say, a 5 piece body and a separate wood for top. is this possible?
