I do have one question maybe you guys could help me out. Regarding the slitting saw blades, I have read that some makers say you can use these and other who say you absolutely cannot. What is the deal? I have ordered one recently (have not gotten it yet and it was only five dollars) to see if I can use it, but has anyone given it a go and what were your results?

the reason you see that is because people are trying to use them on there table saw. for that Id just get the stewmac blade, much more stable.

if you've ever watched the "how its made" series on discovery youd see Godins uses a saw EXACTLY like what your talking about.

but honestly, if your going to be making less then 10 a day, a fretsaw and Jig work just as fast.

it took me 5 minutes to slot 3 boards. Using just the stewmac blade, and my jig.

your trying to hide where it transitions?

going to be hard to do with dye.

you could use a mahogany binding of some sorts, but you will still see a edge.

someone on here was using a old fireplace mantle for a FEW guitars... and then a cutting board..

I used it to join my body(swamp ash)

and honestly its the same as T1. maybe the part about water proof is true, but the seam is invisible and thats all I cared about.

thickness planer?

yes.

as long as they are made for the correct fret necks, it should work.

yeah theres another vid out there of another performance..

actually theres a few..

Arron somthing...

just the switch? does it really matter if its fender?

any pics?

+1 on where to look

lol @ snugification

i purchased the black dust from stewmac, but then I realized, after I cut the taper/fretslots/radius of the board, I had more ebony dust then what came in the container.

I use the special bit and I like it. I still use a bit of painters tape around the edges for a snug fit, allthough it doesnt take much.

Im in, but I wont be able to start on the 15th, my "shop" has been put into a giant box and I need to either ship it, or wait untill the end of Jan to pick it up.

but I'll definatly be done by august.

1.Tele

2.PRS double

3.Strat

I could do a explorer too, but Id prefer those.

I think experiance should be a factor as well, Im in this less then a year.

there are tons of quality on here for judges, Id say Setch, Perry are two I like alot, and of course Melvyn himself.

+1 for Texas

I think what throws me off is the proportions of the horn, instead of it flowing int the shape and having a square end, it simply is a rectangle into the body.

favorite square horns

perhapse making your own dremel base about 6" wide, and just set the height whatever the binding is..

thats what I do when I recess pickguards, but I start with a router, then switch to a VERY little dremel bit.

+2

the stew mac one uses a index Pin with a matching slot.

Mine actually fits SUPER snugg. but I push it to the right JIC.

-1 to cream..

I like the black better.

I agree it looks a bit off on a tele, but Ive seen some SUPER nice square horns..

EEK at that tearout...

I used a new freud bit when doing mine and came out perfect.

you could allways do it with a thin sheet of aluminum. shape it, glue the hell out of it.

then polish it up super high grit and it will be damn near a mirror.

then Laq it.

that is TOTAL theory, and Id 33% expect it to be very hard and/or fail

first, how many mounting screws? second, whats the width between them?

go to www.guitarfetish.com

they have the same thing there for cheaper
