the 356 tyoe shape is timeless... very very nice.

The neck looks really nice from what one can see...can you do some pics of the neck please?

It's a very fluid shape. Did you design it yourself?

i suppose - like a lot of things - it's possible but probably not worth the trouble if things are going well. My first 'good' guitar way back when was a Gretsch orange DC with an ebony fretboard and a zero fret. The action was unbelievably good compared to what was around at the time. The reason I u...

...carefully calculated failsafe strategy ..neither a sudden change in neck angle or change in length of the stringpost will affect stringbreak tension over the nut and zero fret. If both happened simultaneously i would be in trouble!! But I reckon the odds of that happening are quite low.

..Hi. no pickguard - John saw it above...silver wire 1.5mm inlayed into the outline. re the wiring - Jason is right on the push/pull and the other aspect is better expalined here : http://guitarwiring.blogspot.com.au/2011/07/stratocaster-double-tone-control-mod.html#more I liked the idea and added t...

Thanks guys,

Headstock is tilted at 13deg IIRC - whatever my jig is lol.

HI. This is my ‘more than I could Chew’-o-caster. It was almost called the ‘disastercaster’ because lots of things happened - from a loose router bit, a bendy drill bit, moving template , (and more) - but like someone said recently one just gets better at fixing things. Particularly with a high doll...

Beautiful and the photos are too!

Spectacular!!

Thanks for all your help guys. Pics when done )

Thanks guys. I appreciate your help.

...i understand you question...the idea of lacquer pulling rather than sanding to the lowest point on the whole surface appeals to me since I'm usually dyeing the wood and I manage to sand through from time to time :o). That being said - I got to a very nice but not quite perfect shine and being new...

This is the Myka guiatr finished.

Hi. After watching a few videos i made a serious first attempt at french polishing a guitar. I went to check on it just now and I have to say I was excited at the result. However it's not like the guys on the videos get. There is a beautiful shine - more than I expected as a first try - but there ar...

I think this is the 'holy grail for non spray bursts with solid on back:

Also Big D vids on you tube are good to watch.

Hi. I had look at an Epiphone SG which a friend recently bought. There has been major repair to the neck (see pics) and now the alignment left right is out ie the centreline is skew and the neck angle is now slighlty negative rathet than +2deg. The guitar is now playable after lowering the bridge st...

...could use binding..

Hi. Have you 'angled' the top? Ifg you do that from say just behind tghe front pickup you will have a flat angled surface for your neck pocket routing. abouty 3deg IIRC Also check how much hand clearance there is in the cutaways. My first ever attempt was a similar guitar. I knew nothing, and it sti...

I'll try inputting the slots. and see what happens. I never thought of that.
Thanks,
Rob.

Sorry ..I wasn't very clear. I'm sure my excel calculations are on the money, and i step from the nut to each fret position individually, but on the diagram in the cad programme. ie I type in the co-ordinates. when I checked with a 'select' point in the cad programme - a sort of mouseover - the co-o...
