I have the Velocity non chambered. Upper fret access is effortless. A Strat feels confining by comparison. For me, the back edge of my fretting hand can get further up the neck before bumping into the lower bout. Also, the lower bout is very "open". This, along with the Contoured Heel...

Terrific looking guitar (minus the red knobs). You'll get there on the soldering. I absolutely sucked when I first started. Over scorched a couple of pots and a 5 way lever switch along with way. I've elevated myself to sucking less, not frying components out and not making a mess with...

That....is awesome!

As a pre adolescent in the 70's, KISS was everywhere. I remember a movie with them at an amusement park, the KISS dolls, the KISS lunchboxes, etc. I was never the hugest KISS fan, but I liked them. They had some great songs and of course, as a band, they were very much larger than life...

Looking forward to that. Not much info out there on this pickup.

As always, great video. My 1st Warmoth was a Tele and built using using Wildepickups / Lawrence pups. I used their T48 (rail Tele bridge) and L45 (rail Strat) and love them. I have another build in the works and may try some flavor of their L500 humbucker.

Ahhh, couldn't see that detail in the other pic

Hmmm, must be me, but I don't "bad" per se in these dye jobs.

Great info. I wonder how much the saddles can be adjusted to compensate.

I believe this uses Floyd Rose post spacing.

Great info....thank you. Enjoy that beautiful guitar!

Wow!!!! Stunning! How is upper register access on the Mooncaster?

Really nicely done. Heavily changes the aesthetic of the guitar in a good way.

I recently ordered a Schaller Floyd straight from them, and they give an option for a 16" bridge radius. Not too far off. I recently refretted my old 1975 LPD, as well as replacing all the electronics and bridge / tailpiece. T'was interesting to learn how to set the radius on the bridge...

Very cool vid. Wow, shifting the pups into the opposing positions really produces a different sound. I kinda liked the reverse sound better, but have no idea how it would be "in the mix". Didn't realize those pups could so easily be repositioned.
