Reply #47 – December 12, 2004, 10:18:56 AM This guy I work with makes guitars as a hobby and has a friend that sells them for him over here at Peeler Music in Toledo. Right now he is working on a double neck acoustic, thing is purrty. Ill have to get a few good pics of it when he is done. Quote Selected
Re: I just saw what crystal looks like..... Reply #48 – December 12, 2004, 03:05:42 PM A guy I know back east makes his own guitars. He doesn't sell very many at all, but he keeps on doing it anyway. When we runs out of materials, he takes an old one apart and starts over. :p They're beautiful guitars, and have an awesome sound, but I think it's cool that he just keeps on doing it for the love of it.Anyway, here are some pics of 'my' guitars. Sorry they're not all spiffed up. Oh, and it apears I don't have an eq on the accoustic. (oops) I rarely plug it in anyway. Quote Selected
Re: I just saw what crystal looks like..... Reply #49 – December 12, 2004, 03:25:32 PM I'm rebuilding this dirty old thing for Ange, and will be stringing it left. She asked me to teach her, but without having her own guitar, I'd end up having to restring mine, and would have nothing to teach her with. :p I just hope it holds tune. There is no warping, or water damage. The neck is straight, and the frets are in line. All I need to do is reinforce the area where the bridge was ripped off, and reatach. I'm going to do some celtic knotwork with stain around the edge and up the center, before varnish. I just hope it works out.Anyway, it's extremely dirty, and it's in the storage room, so forgive the mess. (this isn't the only room like that now, since we're renovating the kitchen too :wtf: ) Quote Selected
Re: I just saw what crystal looks like..... Reply #50 – December 12, 2004, 04:49:41 PM where the bridge was ripped off, did it end up pulling the wood with it and splitting it? i have an old acustic in my closet that the bridge got ripped off of and the wood split a bit Quote Selected
Re: I just saw what crystal looks like..... Reply #51 – December 12, 2004, 05:29:09 PM A little. The wood around the peg holes splintered out a little bit, which is why I want to put a brace inside, and fasten the bridge down with some countersunk bolts, or screws if I have to. These things are made to pull the pegs out before to much carnage happens to the flat top. The one thing that worries me is that the wood around the bridge is raised a bit. I don't want there to be too much action for her first guitar.Oh well, if it sounds like arse, I'll put some old strings on it and just hang it on the wall. We can buy her one, if need be.

Ive bought just about every bit of musical stuff there cept for my stage head/cab cause i got a pretty good deal for them @ Mars. Poor lil ampeg 15" couldnt take the workingman head power tho. Found a replacement eminence delta speaker that can take 400w all day and sound nice and loud next to a pair of marshal half stacks. I'll only use that in shows or soundproofed rooms tho... has a tendency to shake houses terribly *grins* Quote Selected
Re: I just saw what (a guitar) looks like..... Reply #53 – December 13, 2004, 10:43:10 AM I just saw what Crystal looks like - she's got nice strings and she'll play a good tune if plucked properly! Good 'ol Dead-ham Mass. - I used to hang out there when I was, well, 21 also! (now I'm x2 that).Oh, and I gave away my guitar to some chick I was dating a couple of years ago - oh well :wtf: Quote Selected

Re: I just saw what crystal looks like..... Reply #55 – December 13, 2004, 11:46:44 AM and all of Zachs guitars that are in playable condition play awesome, i enjoyed sampling them :) Quote Selected
Re: I just saw what crystal looks like..... Reply #56 – December 13, 2004, 02:00:55 PM Thanks, Shawn. Did you play the Peavey? That guitar has the fastest neck and best action of any guitar I've ever owned, and I paid only $50 for it.I played a set-up Mexican Strat that didn't play as well as that Peavey. Quote Selected
Re: I just saw what crystal looks like..... Reply #57 – December 13, 2004, 02:07:15 PM yeah, i played the Peavey, i think at the time it was lacking a stringi still need to restring my jackson, ive never messed with a floyd rose, so im still a little iffy about messing with it, i put new strings on my ibanez, but they were too heavy of a gauge so its pulling the hell out of the bridge, maybe sometime soon ill swing out to a guitar shop and get some ultra lights for the ibanez Quote Selected
Re: I just saw what crystal looks like..... Reply #58 – December 13, 2004, 02:59:13 PM 6 string basses scare me. the range must be nice but im a tall guy with long fingers and reaching the top string is still a nightmare Quote Selected

Reply #59 – December 13, 2004, 06:47:25 PM Quote from: AtroXR76 string basses scare me. the range must be nice but im a tall guy with long fingers and reaching the top string is still a nightmareThat's the nice thing about a jazz bass. The neck is a little longer, but it's a lot thinner, esspecially at the head. I can touch my thumb to pinky around the neck down there. Super smoothe though. I've never played a six string, but have messed with a five string. It's odd. The top string is the additional, with a lower tone than the E (it's the b, right?). Is the sixth a higher string, on the bottom, or another low string? And they're not that bad to play. Quote Selected
