I would love to see you pull this off man

TemjinStrife · 05-13-2009, 08:41 PM

Low F# to High A tuning? Or Low E to High G?

I'd recommend going shorter than 25.5 if going for high A myself, but there are always the Octave4plus Gary Goodman strings.

EDIT: And why the locking nut? Unless you have fine tuners on the bridge, locking down the nut is just going to put the strings out of tune and make it impossible to tune them.

F/Ab with Goodmans. And the locking nut wil be there only if i decide to try to make a fine tuning bridge which i have a design for so i guess we'll see what comes of that

Thanks, i wanted to have amazing upper fret access so

Hollowway · 05-17-2009, 11:51 PM

Sweet build! I think you'll end up moving the tuning pegs, tho, since some of the strings will go right over the pegs.

very cool idea!

gatesofcarnage · 06-07-2009, 01:52 PM

I am sorry to bring this news but i am going to have to bow out of the competion but there is good (for me at least) I have been invited to a 16 day tour of Europe including England, Germany, Austria, Lichtenstien, France, Italy and Switzerland playing music with people from all across the state. I'll be playing percussion in concert band and auditioning for guitar in jazz band. So all of this is really awesome and really expensive so all my money will be going to this trip. But don't worry te avenger 9 will be built just with better woods and materials and later.

Aysakh · 06-07-2009, 02:01 PM

good luck with the tour! hope you make the band

!

(heh heh heh, less competition for me!)
