Correct. Some of my extended range guitars have double cut without 6-in-line but for six strings, it's pretty much the unwritten rule floating around in my subconscious.

Are you here to ensure I take it to my friend who builds high end custom furniture and constantly offers to help me with this stuff every time I ask him?

I would probably be satisfied with just offsetting the routes for the "7/8" with some existing bodies. I have a 7/8 neck sitting here and I can't bring myself to order the 7/8 S body to the point where I'm looking at other suppliers and also considering routing a Warmoth myself... something I...

@Hagwood I'm curious how thick your veneer was, and if you could give any pointers on how you glued up / shaped. I have a velocity body w/"ultra high grade" flame maple top in tye-dye blue - ordered a custom roasted maple neck for it and the flame on the shaft is unreal, but the tiltback...

I bought a warmoth neck for my velocity build earlier this year and I think it pairs well (minus the finish I still want to do). If the meadowhawk was available I probably would have also considered that. There's some hard coded thing in my brain that generally says "double cut = 6-in-line...

I just got a D last week, haven't attached it yet, but I'm already thinking about thinning it. It feels like a baseball bat to me.

The lawyer has the briefcase, Omar has the shotgun, you have Forstner bits.

Ozzy didn't show up for Ozzfest 97 at Polaris in Columbus, Ohio. Phil Anselmo from Pantera said over a live mic "Ain't no way he's showin' up - I'm getting somewhere safe" and then there was a full fledged riot where the fences were ripped down and set ablaze bonfire style. Maybe the tour...

Should have read the about... wow. I just got Chibson'd.

The gear geek in me says, "wow, super cool." The practical (cynical) touring tech and former DSP/Firmware engineer at a major gear manufacturer says, "absolutely not." The main reason why I wouldn't put this in any guitar = Deprecation of technology. If it doesn't sell, Bognar will stop...

Tuners + Filing the Nut : - What gauge strings do you plan to use? 13-72? 20-90? You need to know or estimate in order to ensure the holes in the tuners posts are big enough. Most modern guitar tuners start to choke around 70 - some less. You will either need strings with tapered ends or to...

Already seeing the upper access and horn size discussion. I'm very intrigued... Took a rear route strat and a KNS 6 from the showcase - scaled them as close as I could get them based on the neckpocket and screw holes. Should give a decent approximation for those wondering on size/shape of the...

Have you ever watched BigD guitars youtube videos? I don't think all of his finishes are amazing - some of them definitely are - but it's worth perusing his channel to see what works and what doesn't work for him - and if doesn't work for him it probably won't work for you or most people...

Single colors are not impossible for a person with little experience, but a decent amount of patience, to execute. You could also consider buying DIY-paint ready and taking it to someone local to do it for you - my friend has had multiple non auto things painted by a local auto body guy and that...

I know you're saying CBS, but for color reference here is an actual showcase purple heart against your body.
