Thats fuckin incredible, I majorly respect your disipline (sp?) and your inspiration. You have inspired me to go and talk to my luthier, he doesnt look as badass as the one you were workin with. How exactly did you set up the apprenticeship? The body is kinda wierd, but its more like a classic RR, if it feels good to play on than i wouldnt even give a shit. Ive thought a lot about being a guitar tech/luthier. Im starting to get good at setting floyds up.
BTW soul that looks fuckin badass it must have been a bitch doin those led's |

Well, I've known him for a few years now. He's the guy I'd always have fix my guitars. After I got all the parts I called him up and he agreed to help me out. He's just a super nice guy. So yeah.

Well right now I'm converting this 25.5 scale body to work with a 24.75 scale neck. It's gonna look goofy in the neck joint, but it should work out fine.
I'm also planning on buying a neck thru blank from carvin. that will probably be the next thing i do. Shouldn't be too far off.

I refurbed this one last year. I saved it from a pawn shop in really bad shape. I refreted it ( leveled and crowned ), refinished the neck and fretboard, replaced the pups and electronics, reshaped the headstock, put in new black MOP inlays, new nut, and installed fiber optic LED side markers. I gave it the works. It plays and looks much better now.

I'm thinking of buying the parts for a JEM/570 from Ebay and assembling it myself. And I found an LED strip from Ebay (a store sells them) that I might put on my green ibanez, if I win it.

yeah 2 big holes- route out the recess for the floyd, and the spring cavity VS. 4 29/64" holes for a tunomatic.
