Yes the neck pickup on my Epiphone standard Les Paul sounds dead also(Burst bucker).
I meant Pickup placement and the body length to accomedate it. I don't plan on keeping the orriginal electronics anyway. I have some Ideas for that . So basicly I just find the SG style confortable to play and I like the looks of it.
With a Floyd to you have to have a neck angle? Oh and does the SG have an angle on the neck? If it does will it sill be comfortable to play without it?
I wanted to do a Floyd on that body style because I havent seen it much. I also would just like to have a guitar with a floyd on it for tuning accuracy. About the same thing with the neck through though. I liked that idea because, it might prove a challange, but from what I've heard the results are worth it.
I was planning on making a full sized drawing this weekend, but I need to figure out how to work my dads CAD program to get it to print full sized . Cause I don't have an SG to look at for measurements and I can't find any were thats gives sufficent measurements for an SG...or any guitar for that matter. Before I do the drawing though I need to consider what kind of electronics and hardwear I'm installing so I can figure the placement for that at the same time. I am also rather concered about the pickup placement with a 24 fret neck because I want my first to sound decent. Maybe I'm expecting to much out of the first but this project I will take as much time as needed. And will not cut corners.
I did actually want the 24 frets though, not for sound, but for my playing. Oh, and can someone address my question about the straight rail pickups vs. the seprate pole ones? Or should I just go to the electronics forum and ask? Thank you again for all your help guys.
