Re: Project fullMap

Do you normally go for a bevel edge on your frets or the rounded semi hemispherical ends?

I have the frets flush at 90 degress now and have started on the ends. This stainless steel is going to take me some time to get right,

I like a slight bevel with the ends rounded. That way I get all the real estate I can out of them puppys, but with comfort.

Ahh good that you're keen, I have been so busy with life's hurdles that i haven't had much time. All sorts of **** has happened but we are getting through it now.

I just went to take some pics and my camera is out of battery, I will go charge it and come back with some pictures of magnets mounted into wood.

Ill drop this one here.

Re: Project fullMap

It needed another two 4 magnets for cavity plate loss insurance



I forged the zero fret out of some ss plate. This **** was solid as it took me a few days to get it to where it is and it still isnt exactly how i want it. I dont know all that much about setting up a zero fret so i decided i will use an abm nut to experiment with heights before i actually make a nut for it.
Not finished yet but you get the idea.

Re: Project fullMap

I like the use of the magnets for the control cover! Very cool!

Re: Project fullMap

Damn the control cover magnets are such a good idea... I think I might be stealing those too! Where did you buy yours?

I already tried that and failed, I will just go to my woodworking guild and sort it out there.

On ebay you can get many different sizes.

Re: Project fullMap

Thank you sir

The magnets are a bit of a novelty i guess. I do like the no screw look but i dont know if i will bother doing it again.

I finally got word that my rg550xh neck simulator preamps are heading my way. $150 i paid for 2 of them. I think the net build will be planned for one of those babies. It took them 7 months to get them here.
