wood

We all like to learn from our mistakes, but it's more convenient to learn from others' so here you go :lol: I plugged and redrilled the holes on the neck for my current Falchion project, did a test fit with the screws and then came the hitch... The last one didn't budge at all because I didn't...

So I've been after one of these for a little while and I saw this one on reverb for pretty cheap (given they go for £2k+ these days :eek: ), and I managed to get the price down on it even more as the guy hadn't tested it because he had no cab available. For whatever reason the headshell had...

Immediate erection when I saw this that hasn't gone away yet. I've been waiting for an E-type Solar 6-string with an Evertune for a while. I didn't even notice the matte black one that came out previously, but that's fine, because I'm a sucker for raw wood finishes. My next guitar was supposed...

CITES Restrictions on Musical Instruments Could Be Coming to an End

His new stuff is pretty impressive.:yesway:

I just got this in today. It is a Pete Malinoski Rodeo. I really like these fancy furniture wood guitars, so this one was a no brainer for me. Its a spalted maple top, flame maple neck, spanish cedar back, and pau ferro fretboard. Really pretty, I think. It has 3 of his own pickups, which sound...

Same neck and hardware and everything, just swapping equal sized planks of different woods. You can still argue it's not scientific enough as it's impossible to say he picked and fretted exactly the same way every time, but to me I can hear a difference between each one. Yeah, it's a subtle...

In the last couple of months I've picked up a couple of PRS SE exotic wood guitars, that I am chuffed to bits with. A Custom 24 Zebrawood Ltd and a Tremonti Custom Ebony. I've previously owned a couple of full blown USA PRSs and a much earlier SE. But these 2 are my favourites. Superb build...

The new CITES regulations affect every guitar builder that uses rosewood for fingerboards and other parts, including Fender, Gibson, Martin, Taylor, and many more. It will likely take several months before the paperwork requirements are actually sorted out. From Warmoth's site (Warmoth Custom...

Yep.

Got into an argument with a white night on the Caparison Facebook group. I posted this image of a headstock from a period of poor build quality from them. The neck wood isn't much nicer either. I pointed out the huge knot at the scarf joint and said that sometimes dud guitars can be made...

Been skating quite a bit lately. Learning a bunch of new stuff but haven't filmed as much as i'd like. Got a few quick clips of my go-to tricks though.

Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears... A long time friend of mine was having some issues with his JS100, so he brought it to me for a tune-up. The guitar's got a lot of sentimental value attached to it, plus I played it quite a bit while we were growing up, so I was happy to help...

Well I've clamped and glued the neck for the Ibanez RG6CSD2 and due to how it's broken there are some small little slivers of wood missing and micro gaps along some of the original crack. Not structural, just cosmetic. Before I put the finish on what would you recommend for a filler? There's a...

:) So pleased to hear such a talented guitarist with chops and musicality landing an amazing gig! Congratulations to Andy! I got to watch and meet Andy open for the Aristocrats back 2012. He was such a swell guy and furiously blazed the stage with his playing. In case you don't know Andy...

I personally don't have a real preference, I love certain things about different types of woods. Very subjective I know, but I just want to know if any of you have a favourite and why. My opnion is based on different guitars from each type of wood and the differences noticed that were...

Hey guys!!! My main man Andy Wood and i were chilling yesterday, and he left this lovely Lambo Green Suhr at my house for me to diddle on for a couple days. I'll tell you, i love my Ibanez's to death, but this guitar has some real charisma. Extremely cool. Its got the Aldrich pickups in here...

What's the preferred method?

Hey dudes! Been a while since i've been active on the boards… been spinning a LOT of plates and haven't had much time to cruise the web! Just thought i would share that i am EXTREMELY proud and excited to be playing guitar in Andy Wood's solo band. If you're not familiar with Andy, just...

Looks pretty nice.
