howd you end up doing the angle?

Wow that looks great. With that deep neck pocket are you planning any type of contoured heel? AANJ maybe?

I'm not even going to attempt to read that massacre of the english language

a radius is used to improve playability, theres a reason 99.9999% of guitars (bar classical) have them.....

Massacre? I've seen much worse on forums. For those who are TLDR, he wants to know if he can use a flat fretboard, which would work (like a classical)

looks like 2 volumes, 2 tones, and a pickup selector switch

to count windings you can get a cheap calculator and solder a NO momentary switch to the "=" sign. You then set the switch up so every time it gets hit by the pickup's bobbin it is triggered. You then push 1+1 on the calculator and youre good to go

Amazing build, the scalloping is just awesome, and to add to the last two replies, I've imbibed a little too much also, haha

haha, I like the keystone can in the background

EVH's guitar was northern ash...

...if you dont have anything good to say dont say anything at all? haha

lookin good btw

Ive had this bookmarked for a while incase I wanted to give it a go

Yes everyone I built the neck, unfortunately i havnt taken any photos of me working on so i cannot prove myslef.

besides im 13 where would i get the kind of money to buy a neck.

Im not one to not believe someone but that neck looks waaaay too good for a 13 year old. Sorry if you did actually build it though

how do those active Guitarheadz compare to EMGs?

i dont know much about redwood but I doubt it can get to the white level to dye it to the hue you're looking for with bleach

i agree with killemall I like GFS

nice guys, I posted the way to get to them a while ago, I think wiki has quite a few headstocks for further reference

you could always fill in the route but that would be not so smart

^Same question

at the moment this is similar to my next project, a flat top LP. How are you doing the neck angle? On the tenon or in the pocket?

well you tore it up didnt you? Whats it look like now?

This build was my first so I figured I'd see how it does

Specs:

2 piece lightly spalted alder body

Maple neck w/ black side dots

Tung oil finish

American Fender hardtail bridge

Seymour Duncan SH8 invader (bridge)

Single volume control with push/pull coil tap

knockoff Vintage Kluson tuners

do you have the neck already?, id suggest tracing it and making a template from that or going this route

install frets

lacquer back of neck

fret work

oil fretboard

does it pop when played clean, distorted, or both?

just use yellow/brown stain?
