Credit for all the handwork dude. As for marking the frets, just use a fret calculator on the net man. You enter your fret board widths at nut and end, scale length and amount of frets and then u can print a full size sheet that has all the frets marked. Then you glue or tape that to your...
I used that agathis for my first 2. Its ok but actually too heavy. Just grab a mahogany blank. Anagote in sydney does it for around $50. You dont want anything too light cos you'll get neck dive. Mahogany is guaranteed to sound and look nice and is pretty cheap. You would get a body and neck...
That sux man. I would be crushed aye lol. Hopefully u get it sorted. If the fingerboard isnt damaged, you could steam it off and reuse it. Just replace whatever frets popped out. Its pretty easy. Just use an iron with steam and a putty knife to seperate the two
Nice score man.. A word of warning..Dont use the tang nippers on stainless steel frets..I ruined my tang nippers and normal fret nippers from stewmac after one stainless steel neck..It left dings all over them.
Tassie oak is fine for a neck. Not the best but definately works. My first neck was tassie oak cos I didnt wanna ruin anything expensive. Also, not sure if the Hudsons ur talking about is the same as here in Sydney, but if it is, I dont think they really carry anything suitable for tonewood...

Really? I'll have to look into that. I've read somewhere else about x pattern. don't really know what it is. a few places I've read say that isp, hush and the likes are only really needed if playing live, and that u don't really notice a difference if ur up close to the speaker. is this...
I won't have any worries with that cos I don't play live. It's just for personal enjoyment and recording. Im looking into a used rocktron hush at the moment. how do they rate compared to a decimator
I just got my new Sonic Maximizer..Man this thing is great. I always loved the sound of my bugera 6262 but adding the maximizer it sounds WAAYYYYY better!! Still waiting for my g major to arrive. I was looking at rack cases, but being a cabinet maker, ive decided to make my own rack. Its gonna...
