mistermikev Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 I suspect not given the bridge... but I've seen some pics that make it look like the body might tilt away from the neck... hard to tell if that is just carve or not. Anyone happen to know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADFinlayson Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 Looking at the photos I very much doubt it, you can see from this pic there is some neck/neckthrough wood exposed under the fretboard, after the neck/body join, so few mm has been cut off the neckthrough where it joins the body so the bridge sits lower. Pretty much what I'm doing on the billy bongo, but I'm also removing the thickness of the top in addition to the few mm of clearance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
