I sure miss shooting but I make up for it by doing guitar stuff. When I move to a bigger place or get an unshared appartment one of the first things I'll get is an airgun. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Tue Mar 19, 2013 10:35 am Slavia Moderator Joined: 31 Mar 2008 Posts: 4382 Location: Waseca, Minnesota, USA Nice to hear from you! I think woodworking on musical instruments is even more demanding than gunstocks. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Tue Mar 19, 2013 5:39 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Slavia wrote: Nice to hear from you! I think woodworking on musical instruments is even more demanding than gunstocks. I'm finding out more and more that less is more and the more you spend the more can go wrong. I think I spend the most money on the neck (100 bucks, it was a mismatch but I can find nothing wrong with it, one piece maple!) in this particular project. The body is made of pine and hardboard. Spend about 10 bucks on that I think. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Wed Mar 20, 2013 10:37 am Robw Veteran Member Joined: 30 Jan 2013 Posts: 441 Is the body of that guitar particle board? _________________ Getting in a rush only slows you down.

Actually a pinewood frame with Masonite top and uh... bottom? _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Sun Mar 24, 2013 5:18 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Some progress: I'll mount the bridge next week. I made the holes to big so I have to put on a different one. Not a biggy, I have a couple laying around. The electronics on a 1 pickup guitar is easy, real beginners stuff. Just connect the dots, really. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Mon May 27, 2013 9:56 pm redlock Member Joined: 27 Apr 2013 Posts: 26 Location: Ottawa How many pick ups does a guitar usually have? How many does it need for really good sound? Masonite is awesome stuff. Machines nicely and strong as, well really strong.

I have seen some with as many as 4. The waters of guitar tone debate are deep, indeed. There is absolutely no simple answer to "how many do you need".   Posted: Tue May 28, 2013 12:37 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands The old Danelectro's often came with one. The first electric guitars generally just had one. More then 3 is a bit overdoing it, though the difference in output on pickups may be a reason why you would do that. Wiring it becomes a bit of a pain in the a$$ though, and I think it just doesn't look right to have more then three, and I prefer two, also because of the simplicity; I like it when a guitar has a clearly distinguishable sound from another one. I might put a Piezo pickup in the one up there too, but I haven't decided yet. Couldn't finish it because I had been applying for art-school, which reminds me. I should tell the bros on the forum. _________________ BIG GAP set neck or bolt in?   Posted: Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:04 pm Vic New Member Joined: 22 Jun 2013 Posts: 5 Location: United States Lets don't get into the sonic differences here, just wondering where you were headed with that...of course it needs a 3x9 scope to reach tonal Nirvana...
