  1. You have to make a donation to PG the get access the the advanced section. Would Warmoth give you there computer drawing if you had a way to read it? If so get yourself and inexpensive CAD program and go for it.
  2. I think what Maiden is trying to say is something like this (correct me if I am wrong). If you take the cover off of your breaker box you will see two large cables coming in at the top. Each one of these is a 110V supply line. Now if you look down a line of breakers vertically, you will see that each one going down, connects to one of these lines in an alternating fashion. Thus creating a 110v circuit for each single breaker space. To get a 220V circuit you need a 220v breaker. A 220v breaker fills 2 spaces vertically and spans the contacts for both lines of 110, giving you 220V. Erik, for the rig you are looking at to work, the outlets you plug it into each need to ultimately attach to a different 110V supply line back at you breaker box. Otherwise all you have is 110V. Did that make sense? I hope so.
  3. Sounds like a sweet project Matt. I would be interested to see any info you have on building that Floyd. Also any progress you've made.
  4.

Now THATS immoral! ←
  5. I just came from there as well. Marksound you are frickin hilarious!
  6. I owned a seagull for about 2 yrs. Then I sold it because I wanted something accoustic I could plug in to a PA. Dumbes thing I ever did. For the money that was one sweet sounding guitar.
  7. Southpa, That wouldn't happen the be influenced by cheech and chong would it?
  8. I love that finish. What type of dyes are you using. Annalines? Water or alcohol based? What will happen to the finish when you route pickup and control cavities?
  9. Dude didn't you post this same question like a month ago? Check this out. The answer to you question
  10. A good router table with a good fence system is great for things like truss rod slots. A table can also be good for template work(as long as you have a bit with the appropriate bearings). The nice thing with a table is you have excellent support for your work. It all really depends on what you are comfortable with. I love the looks of the Woodrat fixture that Xlr8 is using in his LP thread in the in progress section. It's a little pricey though. PS What in the world is Spider Man doing? It looks like some king of a martial arts kata mixed with a hip hop dance or something.
  11. It seems like most routers are available in kits now, with both bases included. It seems to me like the way to go.
  12. Sounds like maybe it threw a bearing or ate its brushes!
  13. The problem with Formica is the color is only on the surface. If you inlay and then try to sand on a fretboard radius, you may well sand through the color. I'm not sure where you live but you might try looking for a product called Corian. It's a material used mostly for solid surface countertops. The color goes all the way through it.
  14. Everything that I've seen says to bind and then fret. When you fret you cut the tang of the fret wire so the fret just lays on the binding.
  15. You may definitely say so. The bass is gorgeous. Love that fret board!
  16. Very clean! That is going to be a sweet guitar.
  17. Lookin very nice. I also like that little test amp you have there. Is that for trying out guitars as you finish them?
  18. Man I love that veneer! I'm such a sucker for gorgeous wood like that.
  19. Donald, What software are you using for your 3d work? What method did you use to create the "arch" of your arch top? I am currently using mastercam for my LP project ( see this thread my LP) I found the process of creating the carve to be quite cumbersome. I ended up having to create 8 or 10 individual surfaces to get and acceptable carve. I'm happy with the final result, but it took forever. I'd really like to find a faster way.
  20. Stew-mac and martin both have accoustic guitar kits, but both are for traditional acoustic guitars. I haven't ever seen an ovation style kit before.
  21. Gi Ace, is it possible the cad drawings on guitarbuild.com are done in metric units instead of inches? If so the drawing would appear to be huge. Try scaling the drawing by 1/25.4 or .0397, this should get you to inches if the drawing is in metric. I just checked out one of the explorer drawings on guitarbuild.com, it is indeed a metric drawing. Your cad program should have a scaleing function. Just scale the drawing the the factor I gave above and you should be good to go. I think if you take the dxf or dwg file to an Office Max or Kinkos the should be able to print it for you full size. If you can't get the drawing scaled let me know and I will scale whichever one you want and email it to you.
  22. I went with the red. It looks like it was stained with the blood of 1000 posuers. Deadly!
