Paranoid Android Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Please try and stick the pickups on using a glue gun! PLEASE! And take pictures of both the guitar once done, and your hands - presumably covered in molten glue. Great work though mate. Keep it up!

Ultimate Riff Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 MY BABIES HAVE ARRIVED!!!!Hehehe, yes yes yes, thats right i finally got my pickups.Seymour Duncan Jazz and JB, $330.Arn't they beautys! I can't wait to finish my guitar and whack these babies in.Also i bought a bridge, not just any bridge, this one is a very good quality solid steel one, weights a tonne, but that means a hellva lot more sustain.Also got pickup mouting rings, the little bag has all the screws and springs for the tremolo bridge.Rock on <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Keeping it real as i say!

johnezz Posted November 18, 2005 Author Share Posted November 18, 2005 AHAHA, yeah yeah yeah quit your bitching. Ok i've rough cut the neck, and also bought a Truss Rod, its a good one, Double Action one. I have to rout a trench for the Truss Rod and also cut the fretboard to the neck. The neck is the Hardest part of the whole guitar, wish me luck.I've also routed out the cavity for the tremolo at the back of the guitar, AND YES I MADE A MISTAKE OK!! Only a small one, as you can see i cut the body too thin and you can see the biscut joints. BUT THAT CAN BE FIXED I can just fill them and when i paint over it you wont even no the differene. I'll also just grind down the bottom of the tremolo block too.Hopefully i can get alot done on Monday, Peace Out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuckin retard.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I know perfectly well about biscut joints, i cut them many times before. The mistake i made was cutting the body too thin, when measuring i forgot to take in to account the 5mm thickness of the blade. But meh, i can be fixed easy as pie.
