If I can dig up some lefty tuners, I'll think about doing a lefty headstock. XD
So today I put the bridge on, so that I can get the neck all positioned (Yeah, that is a little bit backwards, in hindsight...) But, everything is positioned fine, and seems to be positioned damn near perfectly when...
DISASTER STRIKES
Ok, so this is a problem that can be resolved (Otherwise I'd be crying right about now) But it's still a bit of a hassle.
So, I'm using a stratocaster tremolo, right?
And you guys know that the depth of the tremolo block is 1" 3/4?
Right, now here's where it gets good.
Ok, so being a thinking man, I made absolutely sure that I'd have enough room for the tremolo system in there.
Alright, go ahead and guess what my body thickness is!
Yeah, it's 1" 3/4.
Well, at least it's not thinner than the block, I suppose.
So yeah, the end of my tremolo block is perfectly flush with the body.
This is rather worrying, because I'm thinking that once I get the springs and all that stuff in there, that I might not be able to fit the cover on very well.
So, in order to make room, I'm thinking that either I have to get a veneer and put it on (If I do this, I'll probably get an ash veneer and hope that it blends well), or I can make the cover thicker than usual, and cut some of it out, to ensure that there is enough room.
Any other suggestions would be awesome if you had them.
I'll try to get some pictures up in a bit, if I can find the USB cord for my camera.
