Ava-Adore

From what I know it cuts out for a second or two, then comes back. He says if he works the knob back and forth, the sound comes in and out, so i think both the pots are dirty.

This is not my amp so to speak, but one of my teachers. So I really don't know any more than that. Sorry, should hav stated that earlier, but thank you to all who replied, it really helps.

I have a fender hot rod deville 60W and the sound cuts out when ever I turn the amp to level 2 or 3. I cuts out on distortion and clean channels. I have replaced the cord, and the problem isn't from the guitar. any help?

I dunno Ed Roman, or what scalloped means, but I do know one thing......wait....... wait.......o yea... that is a beautiful looking guitar.

If the glue joint is stronger than the wood fibers themselves, woulden't it make sense to join the sides down the center? Or am i not understanding? At any rate if your still unsure when you go to build, go with your gut.

good luck

^lol

very nice wood wes... heh heh, "the better half".

I think you need to spend some time with a breadboard and some components before making any plans.

No kidding daveq, whoa... all plans are stopped for now. thanks everyone, almost jumped into a big mess. a little education on LED's and then maybe I'll start again.

The intonation problems are most prevalent on the G-String, so perhaps you need a compensated nut like the earvana?

what is a compensated nut?

I was thinking on using 4 AAA batteries for a 6v. power supply, does anyone have any other ideas?

Well that way you'd also have to get the wires across the neck pickup cavity...

What is the neck pickup cavity?

well you're looking for something with...

thanks

Can't wait to see it! 31 frets or 29, however you want to look at it, is very cool, like an artist, the guitar is your tool. awesome

which would be easier to make, a bolt-on neck for an existing body ...a through-neck ... or a custom bolt-on ...

What is the difference between these types of necks? the way the attach? or is there more?

I looked at the stew mac site, but i can't figure out what kind of fretboard to order for my guitar, it's an ibanez grx20z. can any one help?

Thanks for the diagram, it helps alot. not that much extra wiring, and well worth it.

do you know how to wire things in parallel? i think that's the way to go on these, cause should one crap out the others will still work, it's a little extra wirring, but not much, anyways i can draw a little diagram if you need it, the wirring is the easy part, it's actually putting it all together and installing it that's hard and time consuming

I understand what you are saying, but I don't know how to do it. A diagram would help alot. thanks...

I thought i could put the power supply between the 2 pickups, there's enough room, but would it affect the sound at all?

Thanks for all the replies, i will try to get some pics when i am done.

but i still don't know how to do the wiring. can i use the truss rod as one big connector for the negative end of the power supply, so this way i only have to use wires to connect all the positive ends of the leds?

you can shave down the plastic part of the LED. That doesnt mean anything. I do it all the time to mod my molex connectors (power connectors of computer) really cool. it works just shave them down

thanks for the tip. shaving the top flat is much better.

i think 31 frets is an awesome idea, brilliant.

Were you looking for blinking one's or just standard lit dot's?

i was looking to add leds which stay lit and then run the wires to a power supply in the body. there doesn't seem to be enough room for the leds and I can't find smaller ones. any one have any ideas?

I have played guitar for a few years, but I have just recently wanted to modify and work on them myself, mostly to save money. I wanted to know if it is possible to put LED's in your fret board in place of the dot inlays?
