7/8 body ?

[rauchman]

Greetings,

Not even done with my current build, but contemplating a 7/8 body build.

Can the cavity route on the front accommodate 3 pots, or is it restricted to 2 pots?
Can the neck be made with a tiltback headstock?  if not, can a different headstock shape be used?
Can the neck be had without the side adjust?  if so, does that affect nut choices?
Like the 25.5" option, are there body blanks that can be prerouted for the 7/8 body?

Thanks!

1. You might be able to cram three pots in there, but it would be tight. Obvi, you would have to drill the control holes in the pickguard yourself. Can't guarantee it will work because I haven't tried it.


2. No tiltback. There is one kind of 7/8 neck construction and that's it. As far as headstock shape, you could potentially order a custom shape for an upcharge, but we will not do Fender shapes on it.


3. No. There is one kind of 7/8 neck construction. That said, I have heard of people getting Modern Construction necks without the SAM as an off-menu option, but I don't know if that is possible on the 7/8.


4. We do not offer a 7/8 body blank product. If you give us a call we may be able to do a special request for one, but I'm not certain of that.
