jessejames Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Specs: Quilt Maple Top Black Limba Body with Neg-X Chambering Figured Movingui Neck Quilt Maple Fretboard Black Limba Pickguard Going to put a Shadow Nanomag Piezo Pickup under the pickguard just after the last fret and going to wind my own humbucker and make it splittable in the bridge. Going for a myriad of sounds. One volume, one tone, two input jacks (one for piezo, one for humbucker). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessejames Posted January 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Curious, need some advice. If I were to make this a fretless guitar with the standard hipshot bridge with a ".125 floor, would I require any neck angle? Currently on my guitars I put usually 0 - 0.5 degree neck angle on them with the Hipshot ".125 floor hardtail bridge. I just route the neck pocket deep enough so that the fretboard is flush with the top of the body. Would I need to go any deeper or shallow to make the fretless action good?

Prostheta Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Frets are only a small offset. Draw it out I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prostheta Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 The Movingui must be quartersawn or near to it to get that figure, right? I've not worked with it yet, so I have no great frame of reference. How resistant to bending is it, and how does the grain move through the piece? Generally broad figures can be a no-no for necks since they can introduce short grain (for example, quilt Maple). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessejames Posted February 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Yeah its quartersawn. Should be plenty strong for the neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
