Well that call ended with a no LOL. So I need to make a decision. As some dimensions are not available and the other company whose stuff I am sticking in there isn;t picling up the phone, I'll have to postpone till next week.
The No was to (at it was alluded to it could be back in the early 2000s), you cannot off menu order a bridge position ala 7/8 (the term used years ago was short scale it). That would have done it for me, a full size Soloist with the ability to use the 7/8 neck, but alas No go.
So now to decide, Soloist with 25 1/2 24 fret or a 7/8 strat. The issue is I plan to put a Sustainiac in it, and with the smaller rear route of the 7/8 strat, I am not sure the board will fit in it. (Also would like 3 knobs so I can control the aspects of the Sustainiac with the 3rd).
I think I will just go Soloist. I already have 2 guitars with 24 frets, I think I have used them about 5% of my soloing time.
Tell me, what should I do? I mean the Unique Piece I'd like of Koa is there, and Pao Ferro is back on menu as neck wood. Need to strike as the stars may not align again LOL.
(PS: The full plan, Hog back, Koa front. Off menu LW option. Rear routed. SSH route. Sustainiac in the neck, Bill/Becky Lawrence in the middle and bridge. L500L and Forgot what they suggested as the SC. NFT route, black hardware, All Pao Ferro neck, LST nut and black hipshot open gears.
Picture a Reb Beach, Vito Bratta, and Phil Collen all combined)
