    Favorite wood tops, examples, sources

    When you say unfinished, I assume you mean not dyed /stained/kandy painted? Or do you plan on leaving the body w/o a topcoat (finish)? The terminology here hasn't been agreed upon by the curmudgeons Merriam and Webster, but finished usually refers to having a topcoat of some sort. You could say...

    The new Ibanez baritone, RGRTBB21

    Wish I could grow callouses. My fingers just shred like Satriani. Yet they also don't shred like Satriani.

    Jackson JS22-7 pickups

    I had about the same conclusion as you with the stock pups, just didn't work for me. And I guess I'm a banwagoner because I also tried D'Activators and really liked them (as well as the 6 string versions fwiw). Tried the SD Pegasus, but I think I remember it wasn't as punchy and aggressive as I...

    The new Ibanez baritone, RGRTBB21

    factory tuning 1B,2F#,3D,4A,5E,6B strings D'Addario® EXL157 string gauge .014/.018/.026/.044/.056/.068 I'm sure factory gauges and tunings don't matter to most, but why the hell do I see so many ERG options set up with massive tension? This example is like 25-35 lbs per string. Dayum that's...

    Few Solar concerns, so ?'s

    What exactly is the inlay issue and chassis black paint for? Are the inlays popping out or chipping?

    Few Solar concerns, so ?'s

    Looks like those sale prices are only through Solar. Doesn't matter. Had a very bad and expensive day, don't need to buy it now anyway :erk:

    Few Solar concerns, so ?'s

    Just looked up their return policy, and it looks like there are no returns for simply not liking the guitar. Except maybe for EU folk, which I'm not. Since they have a b-stock inventory, I guess it's fair to assume I'd get something w/o any significant issues though.

    Few Solar concerns, so ?'s

    I'm looking at a GC1.6ROP+ that's on sale for $400 off ($899 vs $1299). Spec wise, the price seems fair, and generally it's going to fit what I want well with those specs. But I am concerned, or maybe it's just more curious about a couple of the specs. 1. Swamp ash....really? Swamp ash is...

    What's the headless hardware market look like these days?

    Been awhile since I checked in to this, but I'm wondering if there's any cheapish yet decent hardware options now. I'm open to different hardware styles/types, not looking for anything in particular, just in the planning stage. I'm also considering converting one of my head...ed guitars to...

    CNC Spindles water/air cooled worth it ?

    Just a thought, would some sort of enclosure around the machine maybe quiet things down enough? Omzig, you still liking the kit you put together? I still think one day I'll be one of the cool kids a build a machine too :p But then every time I start doing research, my indecisive ass keeps...

    Acacia 7 String Problems

    I don't know much about Acacia, but I've had truss rod issues from a "major" brand. I doubt Acacia is making their rods, they probably get them from vendors everyone else does.

    Harley Benton Single Cut with Candy Paint (video)

    I respect your dedication for going for that paint scheme :yesway: I love candy paints, about to experiment with some myself. Nice demo too!

    Water-based grain filler under 2K Poly?

    One thing you should know is ZPoxy gives an amber like coloration, of that matters.. What is white glass microsphere? It may be better to start a new thread going over exactly what you want to do and getting more opinions.

    Water-based grain filler under 2K Poly?

    Sorry I can't help you because I honestly don't remember what I did because I don't remember what guitar this was for. I've built like 6 or 7 guitars in that time, and refinished some necks. Since I can't remember the specifics atm, I can just say that I liked ZPoxy best of what I've tried...

    Duncan 59 with more mids?

    Could try swapping mags in the 59. An A8 magnet should give more mids. It'd be an interesting and cheap option to try.

    Knightbrolaire's build thread

    Top one looks rad. I'd probably go for the middle one just because I like some curvyness/swoopyness added in that design. Either way I like the those unique looks.

    The Pickup Magnet Swap Thread

    "A8 - like an A6 but with more treble. Used to add mids & boost output. Players now use this magnet in PAF, medium, and high output bridge PU's. Too dark & powerful for neck humbuckers." I've put A8's in neck humbuckers, and I love it for lead tone. The mids in the A8 can help leads to really...

    NuAge Tonewoods

    I'm about to get some wenge for a neck, and richlite stringers was something I was thinking about adding. Did you order a bass fretboard(s)? Their prototype samples would seem ideal to cut up for stringers...if they came longer than 24".
