metallisomething Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 hyunsu, i really admire your work and you skill. Not to mention the speed at which you do all this. do you draw the designs on paper before you start building? im having a hard time with my drawing. i dont know where to place the pickups or how to align the bridge properly (tune o matic) How do i position the bridge?

hyunsu Posted December 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 (edited) hi.. my pickup position is front pickup position is allway location natural hamonics location.. but brige pickup location is not fixed.. i choose brige pickup location append to wood's dense.. and my wish sound's choice.. if i want to hard sound ... near to brige.. and want rich sound.. is not near to brige.. i know.. pickup location is allway natural harmonic location... brige location is allway append to scale length.. but tailpeaice 's location is append to sound's choice.. yet not find my rule.. rosewood neck is made by 3 fingerboard material.. i dont get rosewood for neck.. so.. i laminated 3 peices fingerboard.. fingerboard's wood is Dalbergia lafoteria ( it is same indian rosewood.. but grow area is diff, my rosewood is indonesya's Dalbergia lafoteria.. snokelling.. ^^) it is not expenssive.. it is more cheap than hard maple.. first i use router.. make small temprate.. and free cut.. and all made by small hand tool..

teknohippy Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 True craftmanship Mr.Choi. One day I'm sure you'll reach your dream of making a living from building and selling guitars. Then you could give up programming, make guitars instead and spend more time with your family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fehgalloway Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 Your work is amazing Hyunsu! I have total respect for you as a person and builder! I wish I could be less lazy and more like you! You'd nearly be able to compete with the gibson factory for speed, and i bet your work is better quality too!

Maiden69 Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 hyunsu, the Mokinbird is nice, but I must say Great! that you got the PRS style finally done. I'm sad that you had to scrap the other 2 about a month ago, but this one is dead on! Very good position of the neck pickup. and nice done on the heel. Hand carving, I haven't seen that since my granddad use to do furniture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddiewarlock Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 I agree on the english thing, see, my native language is spanish and it's taken me a long of time to speak and write it half decent, and both languages are , in a way, kind of related even though spanish descents from latin and english from anglosaxon, but Korean??? same goes to japanese and chinese, my hats off to you Hyunsu, great guitar working skills ( and damn fast!) and your english is very good and getting better, keep up the good work man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
