I'm typing this on my knees with my butt in the air. -Drew |

...yah, I'm that guy) but I still believe with any guitar with woods of "higher" quality, EMG's just do not do justice for the said guitar. I'm not knocking em either, because they are great for certain things, but for a handmade guitar of that magnitude, passives would more than likely suit you much better IMHO. | |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | +1 Your using some uber mega fine tone-woods there, and like philkilla said, passives would be best suited to really bring out and compliment the natural tone of the woods you use. EMGs will sound pretty much the same in any guitar you put them in regardless of wood. ____________________________________________ ...Into the orchard I walk peering way past the gate Wilted scenes for us who couldn't wait - Harvest |

I'd definitely consider building for other people when I feel my skills are good enough; I'm still learning. I'm signed up for a 3 month session with a really skilled luthier in January 2009(long waiting list). I have also decided to the use the Duncans on this build. I'll use the EMG's on the re-build of my 7 string kelley which I finally gave up on. More work will be done around the 27th when I get back to the shop. | |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Hey guys, Got more work done on this build. Heres the neck nice and flush trimmed. ![]() Copied out the headstock outline. I drill out the holes for the tuners before actually cutting the headstock. I haven't shaped the back of the neck yet, there are more processes that are made easier with the flat square back like pressing frets and whatnot. ![]() Headstock cut out. ![]() ![]() Prepping for the neck pocket cut. ![]() Here are the rails in place for the cut. I actually dont' have a pic of the neck pocket cut - more pics tomorrow. ![]() |
