cool, thanks y'all I just got word that the neck is on its way in the mail, should be a couple days, then I'll be out in Nashville at the Music City Guitar show for the weekend. It will likely be almost two weeks before i am ready to drill the posts for the bridge, but I'll make sure and get a second opinion befor I drill it out. I think I'll stick with butternut without a top,
I'll check out some or your how -o threads restorationAD, when I can break free from the amp stand emails etc. i spent the whole day in the shop and didn't cut a single piece of wood, just boxed up stuff and fixed broken tools and gear...on the bright side the AC30 is up and running again since the volume pot kicked the bucket at the last show.
I've plenty of time to decide on this but this butternut body is 1 7/8 inches thick right now, I hand planed it so it may not be exactly the same all the way around, but both sides are flat at this point. I'll have to check and clean it up some to make sure it is the same all the way around. I think i like the oversize body right now. If I keep it thick it will be the thickest SG I've ever seen. That will mean my arm contours and bevels will be a bit different as well...Maybe an arch top? anyone ever seen an arch-top SG, like an LP?
Will i meet anyone from here at the music city guitar show this weekend in Nashville?
