Hi, I'm not luthier at all, but, i'm building something that has become so much unusual spending too much time thinking on it. It's not ready to get it own thread now, i'm not often working on it, i'm working how i want to, not really how i would have too ^^ Lot of stuff : Glass...

I used the same kind of gig but found having not parrellel guides for router was not easy to deal with. I finished the twist by hand. Here were i am actually. (Not ready to post my own thread since i work on it only few time. Lot of unusual stuff on it to say...later ! )

Hi, Congratulation ! What kind of truss/rod did you choose ? It seem you didn't twisted the laminated wood of the neck. Did you ? How much angle is there finally ? What kind of gig did you used to make the twist ?

Wood to aluminium glue, without need of specific surface preparation to make thing durable (anodizing process for exemple) : search for methacrylate, 2 components glue. Better than epoxy for this specific application. Invalid Link Removed

English is not my native, but i'll try adding my pinch of vodoo partial interpretation of physics. Of course, energy can be absorbed, dissipated, or resonating, partially gived back. The point is in the last part. How can a structure give back some of his energy. Low frequency content is barely...

I understand that the extra resonance spike came so maybe in mid where there should already have enough "harmonic content" that could be emphased, but why would it have "nothing" but hot midrange, and so, no lows, i hardly understand. If the (mid ?) spike is too high, loading the system with...

Hi, I wanted to know if someone have tried this configuration : 2 Humbuckers, each with coils in series, AND wiring again both pickups. Really simple, but not usual. Since "serie bass pickups" can lead to a lot of stuff with google, i didn't found the answer anywhere. Of course, it means...

Hi, This thread contain a very interesting content. If i understand, that mean sica.it drivers are very good, and very cheap. They calculate xmax "as eminence", but they give hvc and hg too. So, for example, this cheap 8" speaker (85€) Invalid Link Removed has xmax of +/- 5mm, but it's like...

Marblewood, density 0,95 And for neck/figerboard Boco, density 1,25 for this piece, sorry for the bad quality of the photo, it's a lot more beautiful in reality Each 6cm thickness enough to do all the bass thickness (I registered just for this thread, it's awesome, and i can't resist to...
