avengers63 Posted April 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I'm not building the neck on this one, but I AM performing major surgery on the one I'm using. reshaping the headstock - sanded clean reshaping the headstock - outside & horns reshaping the headstock - center point rounded over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpcrash Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 curious - what's the plan for the headstock graphically? Personally I think it would look cool as hell to take the f-hole pattern and make it more S shaped to use as a graphic or carving in the headstock. Just a thought. Looks great so far.

avengers63 Posted April 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 curious - what's the plan for the headstock graphically? It'll match the body. Vague enough for ya? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihocky2 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I have that same dragon file saved around here somewhere. I think I was going to have a batch of picks made with that printed on them or something, but never got around to it. The build is looking great so far.

ranman106 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Whats the scale on that neck? This sure looks familiar..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avengers63 Posted April 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I'll answer some questions now. Is that 3 p-90's you're using or are those something else? 3 Airline "Kleenex box" reproduction single coils what's the plan for the headstock graphically? Honestly, I'm still a little up in the air on that one. I want to put my J on it, but I don't want to throw off the theme I'll have going. Fortunately, I have time to consider what's to be done. Whats the scale on that neck? 24.75" This sure looks familiar..... I blended two shapes into the same guitar, then extended one of the horns. body specs 1 piece poplar 14" wide 19" long 2" thick more to be revealed through the thread....

avengers63 Posted April 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 With a 24.75" scale length and 24 frets, there wasn't enough room for all three pickups. The only answer was to remove two frets and reshape the heel. shortening the neck original thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avengers63 Posted April 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 rounding the heel I know... you've seen these before. I'm posting these here for two reasons: 1) completeness, 2) buy me time to continue working on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 I would had done it the way that PRS do their bolted necks, just to have more area to bolt the neck down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avengers63 Posted April 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 I would had done it the way that PRS do their bolted necks, just to have more area to bolt the neck down. Had I thought of it at the time... Since the heel ended up a little short, I'm considering a couple of dowels through the end, just for a little something extra. I wouldn't glue them in, but they would add some stability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranman106 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 I guess Ranman106 would have liked to have seen this thread a couple weeks ago. You got that right! But, now we have the same neck used 2 different ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
