Ibanez Mods Round 2

[ThePhilosopher]

I took my neck off of this guitar to donate for my new body.

I tried to sell it to recoup some of the build cost; however, it didn't get a lot of movement. I decided I'll have the same fellow that built the body, build a replacement neck for me.

Specs:
28.625" - 29.4" multiscale conversion neck for RG8 body
5 piece construction, Padouk with Wenge stringers
Scarf jointed 1 piece Padouk headstock
Birdseye maple fretboard, no inlays
Black position markers on fretboard edge
Birdseye maple cap on headstock
Drilled for stock Ibanez tuners
Graphtech Tusq XL nut
6100 Frets

I like what you are doing but why such a long scale length. For higher notes seems to be too long. for me a 25.5 - 27 would be great. Always wanted to try a multiscale guitar to see if I got on with it.

It's going to be tuned B-F#-C#-F#-C#-F#-A#-D# or Bb-F-C-F-C-F-A-D. I also really like the bell like tones out of the high notes at such lengths.

I concur!  That's very cool!

A little sneak peak; I'm hoping I'll get some time by this weekend to get some better images and record a clip or two.

Here are some non-potato images.

Some sloppy playing.
