It's the 200 watt EV, and no I haven't had a chance to A/B it yet. My cab is about 25 miles away right now, it's a cruddy silverface fender, but it's an alternative in case I have blown the speaker. I'd definitely verify this before I pulled the old one out.

I'm starting to get some unfriendly crackle out of my amp, and I have a feeling it's the speaker. I've got the original Black Shadow in there and am interested if anyone has swapped that out for anything else, and what your experience was. What kind of changes did you notice with the new...

Tom Anderson's philosophy really struck a chord with me actually, it just made sense to me. When it's all said and done I'm relying on a lot of stuff from those who've been building a lot longer than me, and just trying to interpret what's reasonable and stay away from the magical thinking. I...

Thanks guys

Here's my second build, a PRS Santana/Double cut Les Paul. Quilted maple top on sapele body, ziricote fret board with jumbo frets and flame maple binding. Bareknuckle Warpigs in burnt chrome finish, graphtech resomax wraparound tailpiece/bridge combo, planet waves locking tuners, 24 fret, 25...

So I recently got into a discussion on another forum with some folks debating making a guitar cabinet out of solid hardwood. There was someone asking if it had been done before and a lot of people responding that it wasn't a good idea. I felt like there was a lot of specious information being...

Hey RR, might want to see if one of these drivers will work for your windows 8. http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/Download/en379411 I haven't tried yet, just got super busy. Thanks for the compliments Cory! It was a lot of work but gave me a big feeling of accomplishment, and it...

I think it all depends on the construction. I've built two guitars now, both bolt=on's and my number one priority was to get the neck joint as tight as possible before doing any kind of mechanical fastening. I read a lot about this before I started and the most compelling arguments I read said...

no drivers for fast track? Crud, that's what I've been using for my portable rig. It's always something! :(

That sounds exactly what I'm looking for, I've got a little maudio usb I/O that's pretty handy for just plugging into the laptop, otherwise I'd need to hook up my old comp (which has been in a box since I moved) to get my big board going. Thanks man, I'll check that out! (you'll have to give me...

Thanks a lot guys! I've got the bug now and am pretty deep into my second build, I've finally got a shop at my house so that's helping quite a bit. I'm not very fast at building these yet but I really try to put all of my skill into them. It's kind of a nerve-wracking process but it's really...

I actually did a bolt on neck, partially because I was terrified something was going to go wrong with the neck and I'd have to replace it, and also while I was doing some research for the build I came to the conclusion that you can get just as good a connection to the body with a bolt on as a...

Been awhile since I've posted anything here and I realized I never posted pics of it complete. Here's a build thread that pretty much shows everything it took to build this thing. Still really happy with this and I'll need to post some sound clips of it, love the Tom Anderson pups with coil...

Hi, I just bought a Gmajor 2 used, and it was missing one of its large knobs. I went to their website but couldn't find any links to a parts page and wonder if you know where to find one? I'm not a dealer either so I'm not even sure I could order one direct, but I'd sure love to cover the giant...

from Earvana's website: http://www.earvana.com/installation.htm it looks like he didn't file the top section at all, and from the pics on their site this install looks incomplete. I don't know what recourse you have other than to take it back with pics of a properly installed nut and ask him...

I wonder if the nut slots are filed correctly. Next time you string it up try taking a string and pushing it into the nut by holding the string on either side of the nut, not super hard but make sure you get it all the way in. Once it's in try pulling it back out the same way, holding it on both...

Yep, first one and yes I do have previous woodworking experience, I've been a custom cabinetmaker for 16 years. Still there was a whole lot I didn't know before,I couldn't imagine how difficult it would have been learning woodworking and lutherie at the same time.

I know I'm kind of jumping the gun here but after working off and on for a year I finally got the strings on my first guitar and started setting her up! I've been bringing the action down and just have the lightest buzz on the fifth fret of the low E, which will be pretty easy to clean up. The...

thanks guys

been awhile since I posted any updates so I figured I'd catch up. It's almost done now, just have to finish the inlay on the headstock and finish the nut, then assemble. Here's a pic of what I'm doing for the head stock, I'm in the process of cutting the separate pieces and don't have pics or...
