avdekan Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) I'm coming back on a project that was on hold for a while now. this is going to be a 29 fret 6 stringer neck through, with 2 Q-tuner humbuckers (super high & high z) right next to each other, in the bridge and "middle" position. Since it's a metal axe, I'll put a 4 way (tele) lever pickup selector with a - both unbelievably hot pickups in series - position, which will probably suck but simply has to be done. eventually there will also be a 15mm, 45 degrees beveled edge around the body so it will not look so bulky. and it will probably be black (unless I go bananas and give it to a paintbrush (edited: airbrush!!!) guy who will make it look like a rusty old axe . as I'm in the middle of an exam period, progress will be slow during the upcoming month or two. I hope to finish this one before the start of the next academic year. B Edited June 24, 2009 by avdekan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthus Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 The bevel will definitely take some of the bulk off, which is good because I feel the headstock is just a taaad small for such a large body. Should look good! I'm scared of the Q-Tuners though. Might make the mahogany combust, you never know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akula Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 29 frets, wow... You gotta tell me how that is to play, when its done. I find 24 frets getting rather narrow for my bassist fingers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
