goth_fiend Posted August 10, 2004 Report Posted August 10, 2004 its settled, im going to take the plunge into the neck-thru world, i have had a laminated neck for quite some time (3 piece 1/4-sawn maple) and its going to be the beginings of my rhodes V, now im a big fan of children of bodom, so my V will be based-off alexi laiho's, but what i want to do either do a drop-top with abalone and 23k gold leaf pinstripes or just paint the whole guitar white and do black/23k gold pinstripes, the axe is only going to have an emg 81 at the bridge (maybe an SA and do a 29 fret neck) and a booster switch, plus 1 dual-con knob for vol and tone, i just have to get a template for the axe before i start it, i dont want to screw this one up!

goth_fiend Posted August 11, 2004 Author Report Posted August 11, 2004 whats the normal nut size for the original rhoads V's wasnt it 1 11/16"? i cant remember Quote
goth_fiend Posted August 12, 2004 Author Report Posted August 12, 2004 also if i took a line down the middle of the neck, would the upper wing curve and lower wing curve intersect there? Quote
Sindlei Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 if you mean where the middle of the V is behind the tremelo? it's not centered, no, the nut is 1 11/16, scale is 25.5", alexi's new guitars(from esp), also have a belly cut, like on most superstrats, and also the cutaway to provide better access to upper frets, i don't have an RRV, my friend does, so, if anyone else has an RRV they can help you better than i, but i was planning on making an rrv, so i made these observations.
