dude i wish i had seen that before i started i spent hours on razorback research

first of all u need a few things before u start like a neck u need scale length to set the trem in the right place mine is set at a 25.5 scale 22 fret the strings r tight in standard tuning so i use very low tuning for bending i just went to deans web site stared at the rust razorback for hours got a doner guitar and took off the measurements off that mine not very accurate i should have made the body 5 inches longer past the trem u defenatly need to bevel the edges man thats what a razor is man ive got like 40 hrs in mine all by hand and was worth every minute im sure that dime guitars are a short scale like 24 1/4 if your not to sure on what in talkin bout do some research trust me my scale is out 1/2 an inch and my intonation is so so. im a noob and didnt reasearch near enough before i started

heres mine the floyed is goin in 2 weeks
