"7/8 S-Style" is a link if you click on it! 😅 Here it is again: 👉LINK👈 But I just noticed you already gave it a (y) 6 months ago, so...😅

I build a 7/8 S-Style, basswood with quilt maple top, black dye on the top, candy red in the back. Looks great, sounds great, I absolutely love it! I haven't yet (in 18 months) made a dent in it and the finish feels like a better protection than an oil finish. Still, I think if I tried - which...

That N1 looks like a normal rear routed Strat body with the upper (bass) side being sanded off, with a sanding drum or something like that.

Those three shapes plus the Iceman (not to mention any kind of V-shape) already tend to be neck-heavy with solid bodies, chambering will most likely make it worse. My Kramer Star is about 7.63 lbs and slightly, but noticeably neck-heavy. Any less weight on the body and it would be very annoying.

It won't sound "chambered". I build this guitar: I forgot to take pictures of the actual CNC-machined halves before glueing them together, but it is heavily chambered, like seen in these simulations: The guitar still doesn't sound chambered! 😅 I'm absolutely sure yours won't either! 🙂

I like it a lot, such a simple design; they do their part and look cool. Bought it from Rockinger in Germany, but I just found out that Allparts is selling those, too: 👉there👈

Aaron said 👉this👈. And regarding the re-appearance, I think that was about the meadowhawk here. In the 2025 review video he also talked about a flake finishes from flakes giving possibly making it onto the standard menu.

Is the control plate the only thing you want to look like those guitars? Because a Soloist doesn't look at all like the Y.O.S. guitars you posted. They look more like regular "Strat" guitars than Soloists to me. So, if you want a guitar similar to those you posted and you have a source for...

Funny, as Aaron mentions them in this video about "off menu" options, where he also explains, why they won't make a list. ;)

For some reason I assumed "Levy's Leathers" was connected to the similar named jeans company when I bought the MSS2-BLU. 😅 I originally only bought it, because it seemed like a nice addition to my blue telly build and I didn't find any other nice blue straps. But I gotta say: It's a very very...

I agree, keep the grain visible! I don't know what your options are, but I had good experiences with wudtone, they have transparent or semi-transparent finishes.

Sounds to me like the "ground lug" of that bridge volume is to blame, I would check that solderjoint. With this kind of wiring, in the middle position of the 3-way switch, you should be able to kill the signal with either volume pot. If that only works with the neck volume, then it's probably...

Don't know about the 25", but 28 5/8" - if I see this correctly - is as if you took a 25.5" scale fretboard and added two more (lower) frets behind the nut. However, I was wondering why shimming the neck didn't help. I have no experience with Kahlers, but the angled neck pocket for a...

I partially agree on cream dots, or even white pearloid, although I actually think ALL of the premium dots will look better than black. But I disagree on the Luminlay dots: IMO Luminlay w/ black is the way to go! I mean, look: Aren't they perfect for each other! If Warmoth had face dots...

I think it's so you have "humbucking" in pos 3 when both humbuckers are split: The bridge-PU when split shorts the south-coil and gives only the north-coil signal; the neck-PU when split shorts the north-coil and gives only the south-coil signal. Together they should be buckin' the hum.
