    Actually, on a closer look I would skip the strat-style idea.  Sorry bout that. :D

    Referring to this picture:

    1.

    The mounting screws would wind up under the pickup.  So a setneck is the only option. 

    2.

    That means cutting an angle into your neck pocket or cutting an angle into your neck heel, either way, TOM's generally need to have a neck angle at 2 to 3 degrees. 

    Other options are to sink the bridge into the body

    1. In this case Southpa you are wrong, he can still do a bolt on, just not traditional style. The Saga HT-10 and some PRS (CE if I'm not wrong) are bolt on necks and have the same area you have on yours, 2 screws on the top and 2 under the pup area

    2. I will do the recess into the body before the angle anyday, but since you have already a carve, you can modify it a bit to make the angle into the body carving rather than the neck.

    Do you have an example? I like the idea of having a bolt on better than the set because, I can modify the angles and play with it to get the best tone and feel.

    So Southpa which way do you think I should set it up? I want to put a gibson tune o matic bridge on it. I dont think Ive ever seen a strat style heel. This is the part I messed up on with my last guitar. I want to have 22 fret neck. Does this mean the frets are wider if its a 24inch in length? Could you elaborate on the subject?

    ahaha.... no im not gunna use that neck. I just was seeing what it looked like. That neck is off a gibson les paul(or so I was told-it has no inlays)

    I have to do a neck with a heal. I kinda wish I did the AANJ like on maidens guitar.

    You got some pretty good eyes southpa, it is 2 different color pieces. Im thinking about doing the burst unless, I find a something i like better.

    I like the idea of the blue body and gold hardware too.

    Hello again, all at project guitar!

    This is my second prs project, an alder body, carved top guitar. The first one was a disaster. I messed up with the neck and drilled my bridge holes to close to the pickup! My new saying is..... Cut once measure twice! Ill post pictures for you guys

    to compare.

    Here is a picture of the body>>>

    As you can tell I haven't really done much sanding. The pick up and electronics hole need sanded. The back and top also need it. What kinda finish do you guys think I should do?
