True. But its just that I don't like fighting and it annoys me when people do fight. I'm not trying to sound like a mod and don't want to unless I am one, but I didn't mean to sound like when when I said that.

Before drilling your holes, make sure you get some kind of template. Ive seen to many guitar bodies ruined because ppl drilled holes a 1/4 inch off. The best way is to make a template using a clear piece of plastic. I would stay away from paper designs.

yeah im gonna probably trace out the size of the holes on the guitar, and im gonna have the bridge be in one piece so hopefully i do everything right

Jopuma · Post by **Jopuma** » 20 Jun 2005, 22:17

EmptyWords · Post by **EmptyWords** » 20 Jun 2005, 23:03

What guitar is this?

EmptyWords · Post by **EmptyWords** » 22 Jun 2005, 16:20

bc rich stealth, they make stuff close to it, but i still want a bc rich one, and even on ebay they are rare to come by on. and if they are being sold, they usually sell for a grand and a half. and the NJ series sell for 700

He probably has a workshop with grinders, saws, sanders, and minute detailing tools.

Emptywords does not have a Wood workshop...

Last time I talked to him he was cutting up his guitar at a friends woodwork place.

Jopuma · Post by **Jopuma** » 23 Jun 2005, 18:50

Well I was meaning that he could go anywhere. Even to a school to borrow a chisel.

Why would you need a chisel?

Jopuma · Post by **Jopuma** » 23 Jun 2005, 19:23

To do in depth detailing like certain lines that would make the guitar look better. Especially if they're filled with black paint and the normal color of the guitar is lighter than the groove made by the chisel.

Uh. Sure. Ive never seen that been done, but okay.

Jopuma · Post by **Jopuma** » 23 Jun 2005, 19:47

Have you seen how many types of chisels there are? Professionals use a lot of different chisels to do work on guitars.

korge · Post by **korge** » 23 Jun 2005, 19:50

Ok. You teach me how to build guitars.

Jopuma · Post by **Jopuma** » 23 Jun 2005, 19:57

I don't know how to build guitars. I saw it on the Discovery Channel once or somewhere else. I'm not sure where I saw it. It might've even been a violin maker who did that.
