Don't be stupid, coconut. AOD's prices are on par with any other luthier.

[Jebodiah]

How much do you pay him to do all of this for you? And how much do you think it'll cost to get 24 frets and seymore duncan pickups on a Fender Stratocaster?

You can buy a pickguard loaded with the pickups. And you can just buy a 24 fret neck and bolt it on there, but you better make sure it corresponds with your current scale length.

I wont discuss his prices, if you're interested, send him a PM.

Ron Jarzombek has done this with his guitars, he says that he adds an extra 1 1/2" maple piece to the neck so it has 24 frets (some of them are up to 31 frets). So I'm thinking of trying the same thing if I ever own a Fender Strat and have enough money to perform some custom work to it.

looks like a prs

[JesseJames]

Yeah he's doing that design for me. I wanted a sapelli bodied one.

Knid of a PRS style body. What kind of wood? What kind of wood are you planning for the neck and fretboard
What are you doing with the finish? Painting, Staining?

You think a guitar body finish make a different sound? Or is it just aesthetic
I was surprised at how much of a difference just the fretboard would make the guitars sound different. When i was trying out Strats at the store i tried 2 same guitars with Rosewood and Maple fretboards and the Rosewood had a smoother sound and the Maple had kind of a tingy sound.

[The Doctor]

That looks pretty damned good.

[JesseJames]

New shit in the e-mail today!

[Jebodiah]

What paint job are you getting on it?

[JesseJames]

None! It will be au natural. Too nice of wood to cover it with paint.

Looks excellent. Can't wait to hear it.

Wow....AOD can do something besides tatooing people.

I remember him posting a picture of a guitar he made himself years ago, it was rather metal.
