The rosewood skunk stripe on Fenders, This is a one piece maple neck. Does anyone know if it's for the truss rod installation or is it just for looks.

you can order the fretboard already scaled to what you want from stew-macJesseJames wrote:I prolly could have built the body, but as far as the neck and getting scale length right I don't have the foggiest idea how to do that.AoD wrote:pffft january?? you could have done the research, bought the tools and built your own cheaper and faster than that.
are you gonna bind the body and neck? that would look killer

tone pros nashville bridges are awesome but you should consider schaller. it's way wider than the nashville so you can be fucking sure your intonation will be dead onJesseJames wrote:Tone pros Tunomatic bridge, seymour duncan jb in the bridge and sh 59 in the neck.croninburg wrote:What pups/controls are you planning on?
Controls like a les paul, 2 vol, 2 tone, toggleswitch by the vol and tone knobs.

Yeah, gonna bind it in black.
I've tried the roller bridges before. Not against them, I just didn't even think of them when ordering parts. The tone pros is already there.

He shot me some pictures of the body with the binding on it, but it's an in progress pic and covered with tape and glue, so not really worth posting.

i'm starting to sound like a broken record here. that guitar looks like it would sound delicious and be a dream to play. the craftsmanship looks incredible. i just can't warm to the shape

It looks a lot better in the flesh than the template did, very pointy but not too OTT. Is the idea that the groove on the underside of the body will fit to your left leg?

Yeah, so I can play it sitting down like a regular guitar, not pointing straight up with the fretboard by my face.croninburg wrote:It looks a lot better in the flesh than the template did, very pointy but not too OTT.
