I remember a lp type binding vid with a guy with english accent. he taped at the endpin and the worked up one half typing and bending as he went. then he did the other side. As for the glue vs the acetone I likes thae he desolved the binding material in acetone, and filled gaps with it. But I guess ...

I think the stamp shows the date of manufacture
40.10.8

But that seems wrong as the style looks more 60ish.

There is a section here for glues and finishes.

just buy a neck off of ebay use an iron and remove the fret board and then make the fretboard and not give up on what you want. Heck i got a nice tele neck made of walnut really cheap last year.

I just had friend take his guitar in to a repair shop (he does not live in may state I did not do the work) because he has humbuckers but he though it was just a little bit to noisy and he had the shielding work and now he said it is much quieter. I don't if it was placebo effect or not but the reco...

I have not yet tackled building a neck yet myself but I have removed a damaged fret board an installed a new fret board on the neck. So yes you definitely can have the neck built and apply a fret board. Are you doing any particular type of neck shape? Or is the neck a standard neck and the only thin...

I have seen guitars with T O M bridges that are recessed into the body and I thought that was a weird design because the access to the intonation screws seemed to be hindered. What advantage would there be to use a recessed tom bridge with zero neck angle over having a neck angle that did not requir...

Did you get it wider to make 7 and 8 string guitars? or was there another reason?

I don't have those skills but I have been comic book conventions where people make elaborate costumes and have a side business in make costomes for other people. they have the artisick ability to make one off items out of a variety of matierials. you might try looking at cosplay forums for help ther...

I have a circle cutting jig for use on a band saw, but I have used it on my bench sander with good results. It was not fast or clean but it worked well for the wheels I made fore a toy car. I was not thrilled about trying to cut something that small on the bandsaw to the belt sander seemed much safe...

what conference?

CA glue for a finish? Never heard of that what is the advantage of that type of finish?

Rickenbacker did that to on the 4003 bass it was never an issue with me either.

I did not understand that? are you saying the upper horn should be higher like a fender jaguar? Like off set waist?

I would say start in the real world and go to a music store and see what feels best to your hands, then take a few measurements, and plucg those number into your cad program

I wonder if the warmer tone your after might be in new pickups. I have not had emg bass pickups in an instument before but the emg's in the guitars I have worked on are not my favorite for playing clean they are a bit flat response. pulled them after just 2 days in my schecter. I put in passives and...

No the necks both were tapered up to the nut, the reason carvin gave for leaving the squareness up to the 19 fret was to have a flat surface to glue up the wings to. If you making an sg style then you don't need the blockyness so you finish shaping the neck but if they shaped it all the way to the 2...

I bought 2 neck thru necks one from carvin and one from another seller. The carvin was 25 inch scale and the other was 25.5 both both were nice but the necks were not tapered all the way to the 24th fret I don't remember exactly were the blocky ness started, but I had to shape the necks to get the r...

I've seen chinese wilkinson pickups that are really cheap, as well as chinese wilkinson locking tuners, also the classic 2 posts Japanese Gotoh Wilkinson trem (I love that tremolo), but I just don't know if what Ebay is offering me are counterfeit products or are all of this really wilkinson produc...

Does the neck taper carry right through the body, or are the two wing straight faces parallel? I'm scratching my head on how to build this on mine. The fingerboard ends only about 1/2" into the body, but that creates a short transitional area where the neck is straight but the fingerboard is s...
