    Drinkwater Guitars headless 8 string build thread!

    Did Tom glue some maple in the cavity? To support the buckeye top?

    Headless tuners - Are any of them easy to turn yet?

    From my experience ETS headless bridges are the stiffest. ABM works better as far as smoothness goes, but I found the Hipshot headless bridge to be the smoothest. They are a bit lubricated if I'm not mistaken. Also it's the most comfortable bridge to install and to set up.

    Abasi Concepts/Larada Megathread

    @frank falbo Have you thought about a "simplier" way of doing the neck/body oil/lacquer transition? I see how difficult it is to follow the lines of the gluejoint and I get your point why you want to do it like this. Anyway, have you thought of something like this?

    Advice modding a multiscale guitar

    It looks like the intonation will work out right in #1 as the small recesses for the height adjustment screws go all the way up to the front hole on both bridges. The small slot is for a piezo wire, but maybe you could still use it as a string through body hole. I'd go with #1, drill the...

    Neck build for RGA8

    Yeah, with the scale length, the width of the neck at the nut and the last fret you might be able to draw the shape of the neck on a piece of mdf to build a template.

    Advice modding a multiscale guitar

    Let me correct you :) That would only be the case if the top and bottom string would run parallel. But since the neck is tapered (string spread at the bridge > string spread at the nut) the angles at the nut and the bridge are different.

    Padalka guitars

    I'm not totally sure, but I think the Sun model he brought to the Holy Grail show isn't for sale. I've been there on saturday and the Saturn with the Saturn inlay was my favourite, but his guitar were mind blowing in general. Awesome craftsmanship! Super clean work. This guy is a genius in what...

    New Build - Heretic Paradigm 6

    Dude that's a bummer! I feel you. The new blank is nice and the glue joint won't be visible on the wenge I guess.

    palm muting on 8-string... note goes flat.

    Do you have a fixed bridge on the guitar? If so - Is it possible that one of the two screws that adjust the saddle height of the 8th string doesn't have contact to the base plate of the bridge? I'm just guessing, but that could cause the saddle to move down when palm muting?
