I'm gonna build my first guitar soon and plan on making most bad-ass guitar I've ever played.
The Neck
fret inlays? I was thinking of silver triangles but other ideas are welcomed to. (please note that I'm a complete novice and that I'm not sure if I can do this, any HELP would be nice )
-Wich wood for the neck?
I like the tone and feel of maple but any help/suggestions would again be nice
-Tuning knobs?
Need some good looking black ones that aren't total shite, some names/pics would be useful
-fret width? 25.5 I like alot
-How many frets? 24
-What type of headstock?
Normal ibanez RG one with a custom logo, nothing fancy
-How will it be attached to the body?
No idea how I'm supposed to get the neck attached to the body, tutorial would be helluva useful.
The Body
-Floyd rose or simple tune-o-matic?
The shredder in me loves the idea of a floyd rose but I have absolutely no idea on how to build one and it could **** up everything I've been told, so again a tutorial with pics on how to do this would be nice.
-Shape?
I was thinking of an ibanez RG like this: http://www.projectguitar.com/tut/body.htm
Electronics
-Wich/how many pick-ups?
I'm thinking of 2 (active)EMG 81's, I like the bad-ass sound and the nice clean they give.
Finish
-colour?
this black
http://www.ibanez.ru/gear_el_guitar/big/rg7321.jpg image is too large
-Varnish?
No idea wether I'm supposed to use some or not.
---------------------
This is all I've got so far, I'm open for any type of suggestions or tips since I'm a beginner I'll need all the help I can get
