20inch - Im going to assume you know very little about metal in general.

you're very ignorant to say that i dont like bands when they start becomming successful.

your half right on that, i'm not a huge metal expert. but i have had conversations with others who are, and they pretty much echoed what i said and thought slipknot deserved their success and were a good band.

and it was an assumption about you knot keke liking bands when they become successful. i've heard others say they dislike slipknot and more or less this was the vibe i got, that they didn't like that they were relatively "mainstream" as compared to other metal bands.

lol bands can be as succesful as they want and ill still like them... as long as they dont get 'metallica syndrome'

NOONE that is a LEGITIMATE metalhead that ive met has ever said that slipknot was more than a pile of dogshit.

bump... lulz

We should really make this back into its original purpose.

^^ What? Bagging Slipknot?

Because you haven't sold me on the Death Metal vocal thing yet.

BTW the Metal Storm Awards are taking votes now.

 

[Skeptic]

I don't care if you like death metal vocals

 

[jnutz19]

i do believe this is in the wrong section now lulz

I start making my guitar at the end of the month. :gaysign: Thinking Sarafass or Blackwood. Walnut is a maybe as it is a bit too heavy and would need chambering or a thinline body.

Tim - What style guitar are you making? or is it your own design?

 

[jnutz19]

silly nutzy

yes......yes i know

I'm thinking something simple to begin with. I'll probably use a bodyshape design similar to either the Templar Scythe or Scheter Hellraiser Avenger. Just a simple carve on the top and then set neck. Depending on the look of the wood I'll either go versatile with the setup or make it a metal guitar.

I'll send some links when I buy the wood.

 

[Skeptic]

Sounds like it will look great!

 

[tim290280]

^^ I'm hoping it will sound great as well. But that is the real trick

 

[Skeptic]

What kind of electronics and hardware are you thinkin of?

 

[tim290280]

^^ Well I'd prefer passive pickups and was thinking Seymour Duncans. Versatile setup I'd go a JB and a Jazz (the rolled gold standard for everything from blues to metal), metal I'd go an INvader or something like that.

Also want some decent tuners and bridge. No trem, just hardtail with string thru body.

lol you found it. i totally forgot about that exchange we had there.


and tim, you're making a guitar?!? that's incredible. how long does a process like that take?

 

[Skeptic]

Im a fan of passive pickups. Ive got Dimarzzio X2N pickups in my metal guitar, passive pickups with the output of an active haha

 

[Skeptic]

Ive been looking at dimarzzio D'activator for my neck pickup for awhile also

Starting end of the month

I've been buying up tools and setting up a woodworking room for the past few months. I've got most things now, just need the materials. Actually making a guitar from scratch is a hobby so it will take as long as it takes. I've seen pro's do a brand new design start to finish in 20 days. I've seen complete amateurs do the same in 3 years. The basic building doens't take long, it is the finish and fit that takes the time. Setting up a guitar can take a day or more alone by a pro!!!

So I'll just go at a reasonable pace so I end up with a good guitar and don't mess things up along the way. I plan on taking pics and keeping a build thread on a luthier forum. I can send links when I start if you like

I checked out the Dimarzzio pickups on their page with the auto-chooser. I liked the idea of some of those by their description. But hanging around luthier forums you get the sense that the only people who use them are Ibanez/Vai/Satriani fans. Everyone else steers clear or goes prefers the smaller handwound manufacturers who will do custom specs. So I'm not sure.

But either way passive with high output pisses all over the super low output active with its amp. If I'm going to have an amp in my guitar I'm going to have peizo's or a midi driver.
