More 7/8th body styles, please!

24 frets on a Gibson scale is totally 'DA BOMB'.
BUT I have a 7/8 strat and a 7/8 tele already!
How about a 7/8th 'Z', Meadowhawk, Diamondback, Dinkycaster, Velocity, Nomad??
I'd be happy to assist with CNC work in trade ✨
I like this idea.

How about any headstock on the 7/8 necks too?
 
You can put a 7/8 neck on a Mustang.

The reality is, these are an odd offering for Warmoth and thus if there are too many options that start overlapping the option set for the standard scale stuff, there will be customers that order incompatible builds which would cause a nightmare.
 
Something I'd be interested in is a 7/8 Jazzmaster body, but still compatible with standard 25.5" necks - I've always found Jazzmasters a bit bulky and unwieldy, but a smaller version would be great...

So....same concept as our Dinky J and Dinky P bass bodies, but for Jazzmaster. That's a great idea!

Don't misconstrue that as evidence it will happen any time soon, but I like it in concept!
 
While we're waiting for those new 7/8th body options, I'm thinking about ordering a normal Z body with just the rear control cavity routed...

Then put on a hardtail hipshot bridge with graphtech GHOST piezo midi saddles... No pickup routing to fuss with, and the bridge an easy install - just place it right and drill one hole thru to the control cavity for cables...
 
I would probably be satisfied with just offsetting the routes for the "7/8" with some existing bodies. I have a 7/8 neck sitting here and I can't bring myself to order the 7/8 S body to the point where I'm looking at other suppliers and also considering routing a Warmoth myself... something I said I wouldn't allow myself to do... I should have just ponied up and bought that immaculate Jackson Fusion 24.75 at Rudy's last fall :)
