NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

how old is consider vintage? does 80s ibanez vintage or just old?

The advantage is that the string height at the nut is instantly ideal...some of the cheaper imports used them because it saved time not having a skilled craftsman cut a nut with perfect string heights. that said, grestch have them on some high end models.... also, it would not be as easy to replace ...

hello boys n girls, here s my second build
one pc Alder body, maple neck, P90 neck + Fat Pat Bridge Humbucker. Xtrem Bridge. 3 way selector + split. Lacquer + hand rub dye finish.

good stuffs, wish i have half of ur skills. y do u decided to build from one piece of wood rather than joining?

i salute u!!!

the cyan grain will show a more magenta finish rather than black grain like some SG. i think the black grain is more brownish, i wanted a more magenta kind of red. same thing, solvent magenta ink.

i wasnt going for a blue guitar. the cyan is just to fill the grain. sand it off with 150

cleaned up the binding, sand it down with 100, then 150. im using eco-solvent ink as dye since i couldnt find the rite wood dye color here. wat im using here is just cyan ink.
