    Very serious post.......

    @Spud : ain't it nice when you find that perfect profile? I just found my 3rd. Lol My new favorite is my Ltd eclipse necks in general, with my ec1000fr as the best of the 3. here is the shape at the 1st and 12th frets. Its 20/21 to 22/23mm in size. The other 2 are sanding variations on this...

    More 7/8th body styles, please!

    I like this idea. How about any headstock on the 7/8 necks too?

    Meadowhawk body, neck, and inlays are now officially on the menu!

    I love the modded tele look where they add a little offset vibe to it and play with the cutaway and upper bout dimensions and shapes. D'Avanzo has one, but its his own builds, not just a body. He is also very limited in what he offers. Good stuff though. Precision guitar kits has one too...

    Meadowhawk body, neck, and inlays are now officially on the menu!

    Im having 2nd thoughts on one of these now. No binding, yet masked edges are available. I really want binding. 4 hole controls too. A carved top is a frivolity, but I want it. So, I'm back to the carved top tele, unless the binding and 4 holes are1 doable. I could forego the carved...

    Need help preventing ski jumps

    I've been working with wood all my life and have never had over tight screws cause any issues on 2 closely and tightly mated surfaces. In a strat pocket, the only mounting thing that can cause a warp up high is a small non tapered shim. No shim, no problem.

    EMG's for Genres of Music Other Than Metal

    I have a set of 57/67tws in my VIP build. I was intrigued by the very same aspects of actives that you are. As @TonyFlyingSquirrel said, they do get some good clean sounds, moreso with the tws in single coil mode. My trick is to eq a little bass and low mids, which shifts the eq a bit to...

    Does anyone know how the mechanism for the Ibanez "Dyna-MIX Alter Switch” works? Would it be possible to do something like this yourself?

    Alot of cool stuff can be done with a 4 pole super switch. In either one, you get a common lug plus a lug for each position. Its super easy to do a dual switching setup on one. 3 separate switching patterns is doable, depending on what you want to do. Where you'll run into problems is...

    Do Emg TW pickups fit

    Best i can do is a vip with a wraptail and neck angle. 57/66tws fit, but barely. I have 2mm from bottom of string (unfretted) to top of pickup. They really need a bit more than that, but I deal with it. That height makes for tasty sounding single coils. The bridge has no issues with...

    Is anyone else as stoked about the Meadowhawk as me?

    I'm all in as soon as these release. @aarontunes , will these essentially have all the bridge and pickup options like a tele or strat? please say yes.

    Any Thoughts on the Regal?

    I keep sniffing around the regal. It would need a funky bridge though. Something you dont normally see. The 4 knob layout and switch location is appealing to me. The carved top tele is another one. This is so true. Its also why I dont like actual les pauls. I guess I just like that...

    Thoughts & opinions on my next build

    My '99 tele started out as an alder/spalt showcase body i just HAD to have. I too was concerned about excessive brightness, so I went with a mahogany neck. The fretboard is ebony for some articulation. I wanted maple, but they wouldn't do it. It sounds amazing unplugged, just perfectly...
