    720 mod, shimming a neck with floyd rose

    Hi no I didn't buy it yet. The current build times are too long for me so I'll hold off for now That guy's build seems like the way to go if a recess is not needed, and without the recess he can have the superior GE1996 trem as well. You already received this body and wish you gotten the 720...

    Questions about Soloist body and Gotoh GE-1996T

    from a previous post in May I understand there may be dremelling required to make these bridges fit, I didn't realise how tight Warmoth's floyd route is - I assume it's not just a one off thing and that all their OFR routes are like that? Did anyone actually drill out the holes for Gotoh trem...

    Natural ash soloist.

    How does the neck angle feel? The drop D trick wouldn't work if this were floating correct? I've been on the fence about the Gotoh trem as it uses a wrench to adjust the bar tightness, then I remembered you can get one of those red bishop magik arms. Kinda interested now, thanks

    Hi all, I prefer the neck angles on a Les Paul vs the flat plank feel of a Fender. I want to build a flat top soloist with a recessed Floyd Rose and get some kind of angle in there to help with comfort. If I use stewmac angled shims how much neck angle and bridge height one could realistically...

    King V body

    Not going with a V anymore but having tried a Jackson they have the right idea with their jack placement - the whole lot, cable, strap, classical position is all comfortable and makes the most sense, the jack is just out of the way. Its just too bad they don't do many 22 fret KVs with floyds if...

    King V body

    Anyone have a King V with contoured heel? How's the neck joint feel compared to the Jacksons that are bevelled on both sides with the strap button in the middle? Do the King V bodies have a slight angle to the neck pocket? Has anyone successfully requested them to change the output jack...
