Looking great @koendb. 👍. I’d go for the Zebra pickups myself. 
🙂🙏🎸🎶

Lovely @koendb. 👍

@rocknroller912 With active pickups I meant the system described by @koendb and @mattbeels  : pickups that use a 9V battery. EMG pickups for an example, they have their own circuit. I don’t know their performance, never listened. I think I…   Read more»

Thanks I’ve got experience of building simple active amplifier circuits but I didn’t know much about active pick ups and how they are constructed. Less coils must mean a lower impedance.

It’s all a learning experience @koendb. Keep at it. 
🎸🙂🎶🙏

@koendb – sorry missed that – with my Firebird wings were cut on bandsaw and routed to shape but the cutoffs were still close enough to clamp – guitar looking very good!

@koendb 
I like the stripe design all though the middle. Think I will try that one day. I get your point about the string break angle on an electric bridge also.

It is starting to take shape now @koendb. Keep up the good work. 
🙂🎶🎸🙏

@Boo – I agree with @koendb agreeing with that @tv1 guy.

@russ and @koendb Yeah, thanks for the confirmation boys, it’s definite now. I’ll put white ones in, colour coded white pearl to match the racing stripes, obviously. 
🤘😜🤘🎸

Pink!
What can I say? I am a rebel

Thank you @koendb good for you. 😁✊

@koendb
Interesting I’ve never seen a string break at the bridge on any instrument

Thank you @koendb and @boo for your comments. Being complimented by your peers is the highest form of appreciation there is. Thanks guys. And Boo, when you make the jump to properly hollow, I’ll do anything I can to assist.Cheers…   Read more»

Hi @c-cap, Welcome to the best guitar making forum in the WORLD!!!! I agree with @koendb in that the tricky bit would have been making the compound radius fretboard in the first place. As this has been done for you…   Read more»

@koendb
True but it is a potent string break point. I think some of the old 50s and 60s designs have a lot of room for improvement 

@Koendb Thanks so much for the warm welcome and for taking the time to answer my question!
Perfect, ill move forward in the bolt on direction. Thanks again!

@koendb I think that moving the peg hole may cause an alignment problem with the nut as the string won’t be pulling in a straight line, it will be rubbing on the side on the nut slot which isn’t good…   Read more»

@koendb but it would have looked a bit nicer if that one came in a bit more from the center. You could plug the hole and drill again where you wnt it. If you don’t move it too far, the…   Read more»
