ASSMAN Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Recently started my first electric guitar build. Its an SV/Alexi V guitar... So far, only the body has been shaped, it still needs routing for the hardware. I've got a couple of problems seeing that I planned to make a bolt on and now have too 'skinny' of a neck area to join a neck on to. I am now thinking of sawing the body in half and making a neck-thru body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
