Hello,
One old school square heel Ibanez 550 Wizard neck:
One Warmoth insanely light swamp ash v body routed for 1 hb and original floyd:
To make it work with the neck the body needed some routing. The neck pocket had to come down a mm or 2.
Also the RG style shallow channel for the fretboard overhang was cut in. Once that was done I routed for the neck pickup and drilled a hole for the wiring.
The Trem route and post holes also needed expanding slightly to fit a lo pro edge:
Result:
Black stain with no grain filler, a few coats of satin poly, shielding paint in the cavities and rubbed down with steel wool:
Headstock got an ash veneer and new decal. Poly and steel wool like the body:
And done!:
It's got an 85/85 combo in there at the mo. Sounds good.
