I am building an electric guitar and i am running into some problems. First the nut diddnt seem to stay glued after i strung the guitar, it just pulled rite...
No, no you misunderstand. I'm not comparing the two at all. What I'm saying is that I like a lot of treble when I'm playing, whether it be country, rock, or...
The nut pulled up?? What's with that. The strings should keep it down, the glue just keeps it from moving side to side. You got big problems if the nut is...
Are you sure there's a slot cut that the nut "sits" in? I mostly do works on acoustics, but I think electrics have them, too. I've had guitars that didn't...

A guitar having a cutaway for the most part doesn't affect the sound. The "speaker cone" of a guitar is (mostly) below the soundhole. Having a cutaway does ...
Yep, the jury's still out on my thinking about cutaways. I think it changes in the way that Greg described, but maybe it changes it to the better of what the...
Hey, thanks for the feedback. Ok so now tell me about chamber volume. I know the vibrating top is where the sound originates from. But how does the box air...
