unless you've got some sort of genetic condition that doesn't allow your skin to toughen up and resist the wear then this might be one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. The company will go under fast

there must be some sort of mini rotary switch you can use? I would have thought there would be something meant for a pedal perhaps that would be small enough?

What size is the hole?

Not sure what process you use? but couldn't you make a two piece mold? You'd have the main one and cap piece that would give you the underside shape and inject the resin or whatever. Never done anything like this so it's just an idea off the top of my head.

TITS!!! when I re-did the headstock I must have not sealed it up properly as it's gone all crappy. There are also bits where it seems to have gone all cloudy and is separating between layers. It wouldn't be such a big deal if I could just strip the headstock again and do it again properly, but there...

I get that the idea of building one up on the cheap is a nice idea, and I know people that have done a similar type of thing, but personally i'd just go the easy route. Get a Squier and upgrade anon. You'll have a great guitar that you can play straight of the bat. Guess if you've got a guitar that ...

custom straps

<t>My ex is doing a fashion technology course at the mo and has discovered the college has a laser cutter and is going to use it to engrave some leather for her projects. I asked if she could run off a few guitar straps for me, which she's up for. I'll see how it goes and show y'all the results. Sho...

The body shape was lifted from a Saturn 63. Love the shape myself. I think I would like to see a touch less metal on top though. I like that there is a lot of it, but perhaps some curves and more a pickgaurd appearance would be take the edge off it looking quite so industrial? I see what you mean, ...

I would think it's mostly reliant on the cut of the wood and quality. Fancy stuff like burl and what have you, means that it'll likely be more unstable. You basically want the grain running as close to vertical along the wood. I'd say a lot of mahogany neck breaks happen because they are made in one...
