GuitarMaestro Posted January 17, 2004 Report Posted January 17, 2004 Hi! I realized that I still need some measurements for my Ibanez Universe Copy: 1. How long is the fingerboard after the 24th fret. I need the distance between the 24th fret slot and the end of the fingerboard. 2. Does the fingerboard extend over the heel of the neck? If yes how much overhang does it have? I am talking about the all-access neck joint here. 3. Where are the PU's placed on the Universe? Great would be distances measured from the 24th fret.... 4. Does the neck pocket unite with the neck PU cavity or are they separated by wood from the body? Thanks in advance, Marce Knapp! Quote
StreamLine Posted January 17, 2004 Report Posted January 17, 2004 i'm basing my next guitar on the Universe too, so i'd like to know as well..... Roman Quote
EKG Posted January 17, 2004 Report Posted January 17, 2004 Do you have access to JEM plans/measurements? They are the same.....just wider pup routes and wider neck route. Quote
GuitarMaestro Posted January 17, 2004 Author Report Posted January 17, 2004 Yes I have access to the original Jem body plans, but they dont have a contoured heel and without having a Jem neck plan I cannot figure out these dimensions. Quote
jammy Posted January 17, 2004 Report Posted January 17, 2004 I would help ya man, but my UV is old style neck joint. I can do the measurements ne ways, if u want? some of them may be the same.... Let me know Quote
GuitarMaestro Posted January 17, 2004 Author Report Posted January 17, 2004 Jammy you could answer my question number 3). That would be really cool. Thanks in advance, Marcel Knapp! Quote
jammy Posted January 18, 2004 Report Posted January 18, 2004 24th fret (fretwire) to middle of neck pickup (the line between the 2 coils) - exactly 3cm 24th fret to middle pickup (pole pieces) - 7.3cm 24th fret to bridge pickup (the line between the 2 coils) 11.9cm hope I helped Quote
StreamLine Posted January 18, 2004 Report Posted January 18, 2004 cheers, what about how much fretboard wood is present after fret 24? Quote
daveq Posted January 18, 2004 Report Posted January 18, 2004 cheers, what about how much fretboard wood is present after fret 24? I always thought it was standard to go to the next fret and end it there. In that case fret #25, yes, no? Quote
jammy Posted January 18, 2004 Report Posted January 18, 2004 according to my new flashy digital calipers (ooohhhh ) its exactly 9.28mm (from the centre of the 24th fret, to the end of the fingerboard) Looks like it could be 25th fret position, yeah Quote
GuitarMaestro Posted January 18, 2004 Author Report Posted January 18, 2004 Thank you very very much!!!! One further question: Is there a little space between the end of the fingerboard and the neck pu or not? Quote
