...totally forgot about this one I built 3 years ago. So I've decided to write a little article about building it! double neck strat enjoy! :)

5 Awesome Extra Gain Amp Mods From The 80’s http://www.shredaholic.com/5-awesome-extra-gain-amp-mods-80s.html Just wrote this article for my site, I don't like spamming but thought you guys might be interested. There's probably more I could've put on the list but 5 seemed a nice round...

Now that I've been back from Uni the past week, I've managed to actually get started on my various building projects. The first few days I spent getting further acquainted with some of my tools, and also purchasing various accessories to help keep the tools in shape. Since most of my most useful...

Most people seem to think of guitars like pre-CBS Fenders and late 50's Les Pauls as the "holy grail" of guitars, what do people seem to find the best sounding Bass guitars to be? Are there such instruments in existence, or are bassists less picky?

I'm going to be building a run of 6 Les Pauls, so many simply because the wood worked out very cheap in bulk (the 4x4 neck timber and body/top all work out to roughly 3m lengths of timber). 2 are going to be for friends, and I'm just charging the basic cost of materials (wood/plastic/paint etc)...

My Dad was uploading some photos with his camera, so I thought I'd pinch it for a while and take some of what I've been working on or collecting over the past few months. Brazilian Rosewood quartersawn fretboard blank from colonialtonewoods.com, their supply was cut some time around the...

Timber for suitable for fretboard blanks, or for a few after resawing. Shipped to the UK. Send me a PM with what you've got and we can discuss it further :) p.s. I've got quite a few fretboard blanks for possible trade (eg. Ziricote, Padauk, Zebrano, English Sycamore) EDIT: managed to find...

Do you guys think an LP would sound decent with a Ziricote fretboard? I've got a light 1 piece mahogany back, figured English sycamore for the 3/4" top and mahogany for the neck (bit denser than I'd like though). Would using a Ziricote fretboard on this build be a wise choice? I've just bought...

For those of you who've tried both Brazilian and Indian Rosewood on strat fretboards, what did you find the differences were tonally? Do you have a particular favourite?

I'm currently in the process of building a double strat (6/12) for myself, and one for one of my best friends. I'm really not sure what pickups to go with for either of them, more so the 12 string section actually. My doubleneck will be to the following spec: 3pc body, Alder/Honduran...

I'm about to start building my own doubleneck Strat completely from scratch, and I'm at the stage of drawing up the router template for the body. I'm wanting to have the two necks parallel as opposed to the Warmoth style where the 12 string neck would be higher up than the 6 string neck. The way...

Anyone else using it for guitars? I'm planning on taking the plunge with it after hearing about the benefits such as joint removal ease, stronger joints and more resonance - plus the fact that it's been the benchmark for high quality instrument manufacture for hundreds of years, and with the...

Does anyone have a set of plans for a soloist that they can send me? :)

On Warmoth's site they say that their hollow bodies have a smoother high end response, more bass and are at least 25% lighter. Is it just me, or is that the difference between hard ash and swamp ash? So if you chambered a hard ash body, theoretically, wouldn't it sound closer to swamp ash and be...

Been searching for a nice thick piece on ebay, and found this: .....right... :laugh2:
