Hi guys,
i am currently planning a new build, inspired by the Richie Sambora MK1.
Unfortunately there is no Floyd Rose Nutshelf option on vintage modern necks. I will go with a closet clean MJT body that will age along the way, it got a fender contoured heel, so the modern construction neck is out of the equation.
Why dont just buy a used Sambora MK1? well, i want a cherry sunburst one and there is none available at the moment and, more importantly, the neck on the sambora is way too thin for my taste. I had a white one in the past and my preferred neck profile changed since then, i cant stand the modern slim necks anymore. This time i will try the 59 roundback,
I drift away.
The question is, does anybody here routed their vintage modern neck for a floyd nut shelf?
I want to go this way, i dont want to miss out on the glorious (and by many hated) star inlays.
I see there might be problems with adjusting the trussrod once the nutshelf is installed, i try to tackle this problem with a " Gotoh Nutshelf with bullet recess", just like on the original.
any thoughts? has anybody done such a mod?
best regards from germany, Dennis
