i wanted a hard rock guitar for a while now, and i really love the mockingburd shape
i did an arm contour before grain filling, my 4 year old helped with that..
after 3 times grain filling with...
well, I have to redo the shim
the copper is too soft and the saddle slides forward all the time
(I have a way to do it at work, luckily)
i tried a coat with tinted shellac and brushes, and it worked great.
the shellac just has to be thin enough
i did shellac on my MBM build, i went for 10 grams shellac flakes to 100ml of ethanol, then added stain.
i let it sit for 24 hours with mixing and then strained it through mesh and sprayed it using...
it was 8 quid shipping to israel. real cheap.
ah, i also coil split them.
that's when the volume drops a little bit
i used these:

this is straiught through to my DAW, i added some crunch with amplitube
i'm planning to do a sound demo tonight, so i'll be able to post
i'm honestly surprisde at how good they sound compared to my gibson LP studio from 2008 with classic 57s
i thought about reducing saddle height, but I think the problem is different:
i think the saddles were made to give a 12" radius, but one saddle was the wrong (short) one
after shimming it the...
just coming back to say i solved this using copper shielding tape and a lot of careful cutting.
the high saddle was 1.2mm taller (the metal itself) than the saddle next to it.
i think this might be...
i think it sounds great
i went for warman zebra humbuckers, but i think i need to raise them a little higher
the coil split is great when i want to get a nice little gain reduction
i also need...

a small hiccup happened when i dilled for my pickup rings throgh the humbucker wire, but i resoldered and even got the shielding fixed

i'm too used to having my grounds on one line
i'm finishing up my build, and i see the strings are not perfectly on the radius - specificaly the D string
when i look ate the saddles i can see this:

the difference in height is pretty...
is this happening in all the pickups?
thank you!
that worked great!
i measured and the post is 0.16mm wider than the hole. hope it shrinks enough in the freezer
wow, real nice stain!
one ofmy floyd rose studs is stuck.
i think if i hammer it in i might break or crack the wood.
it's out of the wood about 3mm
what can i do?
is it normal to cut the top part with a dremel tool,...

i staind the body using shellac with pigments.
i sprayed on the coats using an airless paint sprayer (the ones they use for walls) with the smallest nozzle (1mm)
this is the after 2 coats of the...
