:imnew: Hey, I'm fairly new to this website and a fairly new overall to seven strings, but I've been playing 6 string for a long time. (though I probably should be a lot better considering how long it's been) but just curious if any other guitarist, bassists, drummers or whatever in the area if...
Gear/Guitar Wanted: Currently im working on getting my Ibby projects ready and since im an amateur of building guitars, i thought i wont bother to buy brand new hardware, electronics and stuff, rather built my first guitars out of used parts.
So if you have and RG laying around, that you would...
I have made one thread about this to no help. I received an evo7 from dimarzio instead of my ordered x2n 7. What I am wondering is should I keep the evo 7 or get my planned x2n 7. The pickup will be used in the bridge or middle position in combination with an air norton 7, and tone zone 7. So I...
So like most of you, i'm a lunatic when it comes to my guitars. They all have something special about them, besides one that I'm considering using for firewood. :nuts:
And then there's my Rg2228. And although I love this thing, it's quite possibly the ugliest looking finish I could imagine up...
anyone know where to get wood for making a guitar body in the southern area of new mexico? i dont have money to guy a body blank online. idk if this is the place to post for this if not then woops...
I posted this on the ReRanch forum and thought I might as well share here, too.
So I found this lovely blog on this guy's homemade acoustic guitar build:
Building an Acoustic Guitar in your Kitchen
And then I found a retired luthier building an acoustic from 2000 popsicle sticks:
And...

So, after having my RG7421 project put on hold until I was able to afford the pickups of my choice, the guitar has been without pickups and strings since I stripped it and "distressed" it in March.
Then a package from The Axe Palace showed up in my mail box today.
I opened it up and found an...
I bought this guitar for $400 off eBay about a month back and it was
stripped of all electronics. I replaced the tuners with Schaller locking tuners (very slight modification to make them work), put on some Dunlop straplock buttons, added a switchcraft jack and volume pot, bought a Cephius...
So, considering how broke I am at the moment and that I'm still paying off school and waiting on my Bowes custom 7, I shouldn't be spending any money. Therefore, I had no business browsing some local classifieds the other day when I found a hell of a sweet deal. The guitar was listed as an...
At some point in the future I'd like to get me a RG7321.
Now I know they only come in black, and I like black, but I got a crazy idea for a way to make mine very unique.
I would take off the strings, the hardware, the wiring, etc., and sand off the black finish (the headstock too).
Now...
My girlfriend has a completely neon pink Dean custom zone. I've decided to give it a sexy makeover. I think what I'm going for is a JP6/YJM look and feel.
I'm going to sand 'er down and paint it with a glossy burgundy, then finish it with a topcoat of metallic/royal blue. Its going to have a...
ok, this is my 777 post, so I have to do something useful. a week ago, flo post in one of my thread (the 8 strings one) his first projects, and show how his skills grown up.
so I have this idea, a thread in which everyone who ever build or modified a guitar can post those works.
I don`t care if...
Hey guys, this is my first thread post here so I'm sorry if I put this in the wrong place. Anyway, I recently finished refinishing my Agile PS900 and my buddy Tony (who is also a member here, TKozuch) liked it so much that he asked me to do something with his Septor since he wasn't real happy...
Been a long time coming, and it's taken 8 years since the idea, and 10-12months since getting all the base parts sorted out. It initially started out as a sorry mess, and needed a lot of work and new parts, but, eventually, it's got here.
To see the little story of how it started out, read this...
I bought this guitar with the intention of modding. Sanded the neck down, and had all sorts of crazy finish ideas and mods in mind.
With a little advice from SS.org, I began my venture.
STAWK PICs
Aw sick, gross!

Ok, it's my first project, and i figure it will be a good starting point :)
No pics as yet, but i shall post some from my shitzor camera phone when i get it working again.
At the moment, its a J&D bass guitar, 4 string, average pups, but real nice sustain and resonance. Ima giving it a once...
Any fans of Planet X, On The Virg, and heavy prog-fusion in general, I'd highly recommend check out this Aussie project by master drummer Grant Collins:

I asked about some ideas for this here before. I'm doing a final year project next year for my degree. I'm doing Electronic and Computer engineering. I have the option to propose my own idea so I want to put some music into it. I want to know how hard this kind of thing might be.
The project...
