Scarve Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Yeah right! I've been searching for some time now... I try my luck here. Here are the specs for the Unfinished parts : Body : -RGA7 with AANJ if Bolt-on, no monkey grip or any UV related stuff -Swamp Ash or Ash, not sure- I'll probably make a Trans Dark red satin finish with that one, so errm... maybe it's better to have at least a top that is one piece??? -Routed for EMG707 sized humbuckers H-H -Back routed control cavity, 1 volume hole, one 3 way blade switch slot -Routed for TonePros Tune-o-Matic bridge with strings thru body (no damn floyd for me!) with Diagonal string holes. (Low B would be the lower and High E, the higher) -An independant battery cavity would be nice -Recessed jack input (like Jem's and UV's) Neck : -Reversed Ibanez Headstock with traditionnal tilt and headstock angles -No truss rod cover -Graphite or Earvana Nut -Blank black Ebony Fretboard, 24 frets with thin fretwire to minimize fretbuzz (Thick strings user) -Side dots would be nice -Hard maple with purpleheart or wenge laminates, as long as it makes a damn solid neck. Do you do 5 or 3 pieces neck? Which means 1 or 2 laminates? -I'll have the neck Tung Oil finished and the headstock front probably matching the body I don't care if it'S CNC or Handmade, but I'd want good quality and specs as close as possible to an original RG7 Thanks for giving a damn JP p.s. for final color, think Schecter Jeff Loomis signature and for switch and volume positionning, think Ibanez Mick Thomson signature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegarehanman Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 So what's been the problem with the other builders you've contacted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarve Posted August 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 So what's been the problem with the other builders you've contacted? One word : Backlogged. Too much work,don't take new orders 'till???? I've dealt with a UK builder, but man, I'm in canada, and The British Pound is errrm... pounding me!

WezV Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 the best things in life come to those who wait! i wouldnt trust a luthier who wasnt backlogged unless they were just starting out and you wanted to take a risk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
