Blackdog Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Did you join the neck and wings using a V-joint? That is where the line is drawn Wez ;-D if i had you would all know about it by now Har! Next time I cook up a bird I will have to use that V joint now. What are you two talking about ? Sounds like something I should try.... BTW, adjustable bridge. You can't possibly make a vintage correct replica of something that never existed anyway...;-) Lastly: not ready for the 24.75 scale with the rule of 18 spacing yet ?

Prostheta Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Have a look at the end of a Firebird or Thunderbird. The wings and neck are v-joints rather than parallel straight flat joints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Lastly: not ready for the 24.75 scale with the rule of 18 spacing yet ? has that been verified - i understand how it probably worked just fine on medieval lutes but i cant quite get my head around gibson still using it in the 50's if so i still wouldn't expect it to be better than the way the rest of the modern world (in the post industrial revolution sense) does it - potentially it has better intonation in some positions, but without going down the wonky fret/nut route it will always just move the dodgy intonation problem to another area of the fretboard nah, 24.6" of 24 5/8" will do just fine for me and a vintage correct replica would be whatever they did on the 200 they made in the 80's - but i was more thinking period correct for the 50's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
