Thanks for the feedback fellas,
Sorry Xanthus, didn't quite get what you meant by the Dave Myka comment.
The neck to body join was purely intentional. I'm building this for my sister who is small and finds her current Les Paul copy heavy and awkward to play and asked for a shorter, lighter instrument. She rarely sits high on the fretboard, so positioning the joint slightly higher, gets a slightly shorter overall instrument and maintain a standard scale length. The 22nd fret is still quite accessible. The body is about 90% of a standard Less paul size, and Geo you are correct in it being thinner than normal. 35mm at the edge and 47mm at the centre, which makes for a very playable instrument. Quite light too with the chambering and the slightly shorter neek maintains excellent balance.
The wood wheels are centrally placed and just screwed in for each individual guitar, however the offset cam is a very good idea.. mmm... might steal that idea.
Cheers,
Peter
Thanks Again
