Seaman Jay replied to Mitchell Montgomery's discussion starter tool kit"Following the suggestion of a fellow ukulele-builder I just flattened the regular (small) metal saw with a file. It makes more or less 0.6 mm wide cuts, perfect for the fretwire. Use the miter! "
Jim Woods replied to Mitchell Montgomery's discussion starter tool kit"If you want a $7.99 solution, I use the Harbor Freight japanese saw

pick up and neck problem
I am making a 3 string with a through the box neck and want to use a humbucker pickup I am worried that I will need to remove too much of the neck to locate the pickup and I will weaken it. are there any low profile pickups ( not piezo ) that you would recommend?Thanks In advance MitchellSee More
Ron "Oily" Sprague replied to Mitchell Montgomery's discussion resonated v not resonated"Louder, more twang, but mellower when played with slide. To my subjective ears;-).

Keni Lee Burgess replied to Mitchell Montgomery's discussion resonated v not resonated"Built correctly with attention to creating a full rich tone, a standard type CBG can sound great. Like designing anything, there is knowledge gained through experience. Getting the soundboard to ring correctly and all the notes to play in…"
Keni Lee Burgess replied to Mitchell Montgomery's discussion resonated v not resonated"Resonator will certainly give you more volume acoustically and that iconic bottleneck tone. Although, they are more expensive and difficult to build. Setting up the string action (height) in relation to the correct downward pressure to…"

I am collecting bits for a resonator build I have not actually heard one live and im wondering how they sound compared to a regular CBG. I have listened to youtube clips but its hard to say from them. I though some of you should be in a good position to verbalize the difference between the two.MitchellSee More
