neck How to give a Maple neck a vintage amber look
ProjectGuitar.com posted a tutorial in Finishing/Refinishing
As I have worked on my “relic obsession” (and make no mistake….it IS an obsession!) One of the biggest challenges that I had was figuring out the best way to get that ambered 'vintage' look. The goal I was shooting for was that of a ’62 Strat neck & the color of the headstock & back of the neck (I wanted to start with a rosewood neck first. I plan on tackling an all maple neck at a later time). The target neck has this cool brownish-goldish-amber finish (that’s quite a mouthful!). I wanted to make it look authentic; not only in color…but REAL vintage necks bring out the grain of the ma -
truss rod How To Make A Vintage Compression Truss Rod
Prostheta posted a tutorial in Instrument Building
"Vintage style" truss rods are highly effective whether they are configured as a bending rod or simply as a compression rod. In spite of many alternative designs working around their shortcomings, the original is still often regarded as the best by many builders. Whilst I won't be weighing in on that lengthy debate, from practical standpoint "simple, inexpensive and effective" are worth the cost of entry alone. This article was written to be a suitable blend of comprehensiveness and brevity....if you remain unsure about certain areas, leave comments below or ask over in the forums. O -
Hey, I wasn't sure where to put this, but I was sent this message and thought maybe I would share with everyone. Is anyone familiar with this auction house? Any information would help. "Did you know that one auction house was responsible for selling Jerry Garcia’s guitars for a million dollars a piece, Elvis Presely’s first guitar, Les Paul’s “Black Beauty”, Waylon Jennings' most iconic instruments and a wide array of the rarest Martins (including a 1930 OM-45 Deluxe to the Martin Museum) and other treasured acoustic instruments through the years? That auction house is Guernsey’s*, which is no

Hi Guys, I started building this amplifier around Christmas, I finished it in March and have since decided to start work on some new ideas and turn it in to a company. I hope you guys can give me some feedback as I respect the quality of work that seems to be posted here. Unfortunately I'm having to sell this amplifier to raise capital to build my new idea which is a version 2 of this amplifier. Same internal components and features but in a smaller box. I'd have liked to have kept this forever but needs must! I hope you enjoy this build thread and like what I'm doing. Again any fe -

File Name: Gotoh Vintage style tuners with scalloped knobs File Submitter: SwedishLuthier File Submitted: 26 Apr 2014 File Category: Component Drawings 2D CAD of Gotoh vintage style tuners with scalloped knobs -
So I'm looking at buying one of the guitars in the topic heading (the '57 being the Reissue version, not the real deal), but I'm not sure which to get. I really like what I hear about the V neck on the strats compared to the typical "C" shape, so that's kinda why it's down to these two. I do like the 22 medium jumbo frets on the deluxe, and the locking tuners as well. But I also like the nitro finish on the Vintage and the thinner neck (I'm used to a Ibanez Wizard II neck on my Prestige). Any suggestions, thoughts, positives/negatives? I will also be glad to hear any other guitar ideas in
