  1. I only see a picture of one. Are we supposed to compare a soundclip to a picture?
  2. There isn't any specific brand that feels better to you in general? I really like the 60s slim-taper neck found on many gibsons.
  3. Maybe it's a bit late, but the Vee-Wee at musiciansfriend.com is pretty cool.
  4. I thought Drak said once that he never sells the guitars he builds. If that's true, must have a buttload of guitars.
  5. You could make a wooden bridge. I'm making a cocobolo bridge for my Les Paul right now. I just need to wait till I break a string to put the bridge on.
  6. If you put speedholes in your car it goes faster.
  7. I thought that acrylic and plexiglass were the same thing. Perhaps I was mistaken.
  8. Lack of a headstock would make it difficult to put on the wall hangers that most stores have and may make it slightly more difficult to fit the guitars in readily available cases without sliding around.
  9. A 10 piece inlay set for Les Paul (#0972) is $43.79 You could buy a couple of ounces of MOP for about $30 from Stewmac
  10. BigD Do you still have that leopardwood top? I was going to get some for a project this weekend. PM me the dimensions and price if you still have it. PS I am in a suburb of chicago.
  11. "Make Your Own Electric Guitar" by Hiscock has instructions for the vintage Fender® style neck.
  12. I have acess to a color laser printer that is capable of printing full size guitar plans. It's pretty ass kicking.
  13. The ABR-1 has a saddle retaining spring that always rattles, and it is weaker than the newer TOM bridges making it more prone to de-radiusing. I'm replacing the ABR-1 on my Les Paul with a cocobolo bridge I made because the ABR-1 has de-radiused and rattles.
  14. Maybe everyone is telling you that you are wrong because you are.
  15. If you only charged what the disk cost, there wouldn't be a point in selling more. Unless you believe that your music can help people better understand their differences and bring about world piece. FYI: Golden Rule is, "He who has the gold, makes the rules."
  16. It has Alex Van Halen. But it says, "Signed by 44 musicians" not "...44 guitarists" That leaves me wondering why Avril Lavigne is on there.
  17. But if you have a pretty standard body shape (Strat, Tele, LP) it shouldn't be a problem to purchase a high quality case that is an exact fit.
  18. If "a little over one inch" means "an inch and a half" then the body wood+top thickness will be the standard thickness for a solid body. (Assuming you glue the maple to the other wood.)
  19. The washer trick works in cases where the wood around the trussrod nut has been compressed. I don't know if it will work if that isn't the problem.
  20. Stratocasters look cooler to younger players, and they have a whammy bar. I am sure that plays some role.
  21. I like the new headstock shape. I would have to see the body too to tell if it sucks though. Dylan, who should regulate the price of a Fender? People don't need guitars. They aren't medicine. If you don't believe that Fender deserves any money for their clever inventions, don't give them any.
  22. I personally think Fender should be able to charge whatever the hell they want for their guitars. If you can't afford one, tough.
  23. That way you can go when they have the most crap. FYI: If the smell is killing you, put some Vick's Vapor rub stuff under your nose. If it can cover up the smell of rotting flesh, I'm sure it will work to overpower rotting pizza crusts.
