[QUOTE=purple_hazer;13958119]haha what about a 16 fret guitar?[/QUOTE]

I could even do a 12 fret 1 string guitar :)

how's about a ukulele

[QUOTE=Son of Magni;13959693]I could even do a 12 fret 1 string guitar :)[/QUOTE]

haha holy crap, sorry that was supposed to say 36 not 16

also you dont do quotes huh

144 fret guitar plz

how about a 12 string bass with 60 frets and pickups made out of jesus's semen?

[QUOTE=purple_hazer;13962428]haha holy crap, sorry that was supposed to say 36 not 16

36 would put a huge limit on pickup placement, and very difficult to play up there, but is possible

I do quotes, just through email after deciding on most of the design...

i dont mean to be a pest but youd do a quote even if could in no way buy one?

[QUOTE=purple_hazer;13965080]i dont mean to be a pest but youd do a quote even if could in no way buy one?[/QUOTE]

Sure, a ballpark quote. Tell me everything you want including
[LIST][*]Top wood type[*]Core wood type[*]Pickups[*]Controls and preamp[*]Number of body lams[*]Neck wood types[*]Number of neck lams[*]Number of strings[*]Number of frets[*]Type of tuners[*]Type of bridge[/LIST]

Update: Did walnut inlay dots on fretboard (can't really see them right in picture), drilled tuner holes, bolted on the neck.
New Pic, almost there once I finish winding the pickups I have to install them then finish sand everything for finish.

would you take on a wood core project? like have an alder core and have a curly koa 'shell'?

yer a visionary, hazy

[QUOTE=purple_hazer;14001276]would you take on a wood core project? like have an alder core and have a curly koa 'shell'?[/QUOTE]

What do you think I would use for the core, other than wood?

SoM how much do you charge for necks? im going to need one for my Oak Tele haha, i don't know what wood yet but id like a ballpark "range" i guess

[QUOTE=Son of Magni;14004932]What do you think I would use for the core, other than wood?[/QUOTE]

very true, but do you see what im saying? can it be done?

EDIT: ofck! on a related/unrelated note i have an insane amazing idea for some mass produced guitars

The core would be made of a custom 2 mile long piece of rope licorice that comes out of a dispenser on the guitar that looks like the output jack but is actually a dispenser.

I guess I really have no clue what you're saying. Unless you're asking if I can build it the same way I always do... :confused:

I've never sold just a neck. I guess it would be between $200 and $400 depending on just what you're looking for.

I think he's more interested in the 2 woods he suggested.

Or, he wants to encase the guitar/bass

Where # is the koa and the ~ is the alder, as opposed to just having layers of wood glued together...

my dad said his first thought was a machine/robot type image, which is exactly what i was going for.

yes, you CAN see through the body, all the pups run at once, the bridge IS grounded with spare wire and hot glue, and there's a patch on the headstock where the paint almost came off.

good job jorge. you should try to make it fade more smoothly between the blue and grey. i need to see it in person.

I just started finding parts for my Maestro Sample & hold clone project! It's ust an envellope filter with a "random setting" that sounds like a wah pedal rocking back and forth randomly. Frank Zappa used one. I want to o all out fancy on it and try making graphics for it. What are some things I could use to get graphics on it, and ideas for the graphics?

[url]http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?board=2.0[/url]

they have a lot of information on finishing enclosures , building pedals in general, and doing art work. if that envellope filter is going to be your first pedal, i'd recomend starting with something a little simpler for starters such as a fuzz pedal just to practice and learn from the mistakes that any first timer is bound to make.

Not too shabby for a rush job. That pick guard looks a little rough though. Be careful playing it or you could end up with one of your fingers falling through that hole :amaze:

yea, that pickguard is a mess. the only metalworking tools i have are a pair or sheet metal shears and some drill bits (with the drill, of course). needless to say, it'd probably look better if i had just gotten a silver pickguard, but since i don't play too much guitar i don't even bother.i just hate how spraycans aren't very accurate.

it's also got some cracking & checking on some parts- which i like. maybe a bit of ebony stain rubbed in will look better.

lol. u used spraypaint?

there's an easier way to do burst finishes. i don't remember the site i read it at, but you just need a cardboard cutout of the body suspended over the body, and you spray around the edges and vary the angles to get the burst in.

It's right here :) [url]http://www.projectguitar.com/tut/burst.htm[/url]

yep, thats it... i also saw another one for doing bursts on stomp box enclosures. same exact concept, just doing it on a square box.

i was actually considering that, but i wansn't going after a 'burst' per se. i was going after this [url]http://www.liquid-fire.co.uk/musegear/musegear/chromemanson01.jpg[/url]. but seeing as it's a strat and has a pickguard, i decided to wing it.
