Ive drawn terrible sketches which i will post soon and ive made a plan and now im purchasing parts. Basically the body is a very wierd shape that reminds me of something from a fantasy world. Because of this i am going to purchase an ibanez Jem Neck to get those beutiful Inlays and the 24 jumbo frets i desire. Ive ordered a standard Chrome Floyd Rose as my bridge with tremelo and 2 Dragonfire white humbuckers. The setup on this guitar will be so simple it scares most small children. both pickups always active. 1 volume nob. Thats right folks.. im bad at wirering I buy off ebay businesses because its easy heres the link to my bridge and pickups! http://cgi.ebay.ca/Black-Floyd-Rose-Lic-Tr...1QQcmdZViewItem and the pickups are these http://www.dragonfireguitars.com/product_i...products_id=282 ill take my own pictures once they arrive Sometime soon the bridge will be here, the humbuckers after christmas.

I just cant imagine myself building 1 is the only problem. I intend to build the body ive designed it and its very simple i will pritty much only have to cut it out and sand it to the right shape. But the neck would be a challenge for me.. i have limited tools and such. 1 way i have thought about cutting the price back is buy buying any old neck and then just buying the JEM fretboard.. all i want is wicked inlays I am also going to make my own head and fit in on somehow. The thing will hopefully come together someway or another You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
