Hello guys! I decided to build my own eletric guitar since it's too expensive to import one( i would pay another guitar in taxes), that way i can spend the saved money on the rest of the rig. The catch is how to make the neck pieces ( going for 3 or 5 pieces ) and fret board flat without...
I have had Floyd Rose equipped guitars for the last 15 years and I never ever thought I would consider anything different. However I am now doing just so. I met some guys and they have different tunings for different songs and it started to make me think a little more. Realistically, I do...
