Hah, rawk 
I like the contours you did on the horns. Did you make any tests with ready necks to see how it balances?

its kind of like an ibanez fucked jackson headstock, reversed, and the neck does sit high right now, because we haven't put the 2 degree angle on it yet, when we put the 2 degree angle on it we also trim it to size.The Soulforged said:

gotta be accepted for this one, they basically have to make sure you aren't taking the school for a hobby, you have to be serious... i had to write a paper on why i think i'd be a good luthier lol... and you gotta have lots of cash or be willing to go into lots of debt

wow doesnt surprise me that companies want 2000+ for a custom guitar, just for man hours and a little profit. looks like it starts to get difficult when you start working on the neck thou

i've been told neck through is much more difficult... and i've been doing a lot of thinking, and i understand from a structural standpoint, the benefit from neck through, but from a tonal standpoint, i don't understand it... i've really put a lot of thought into this, and when you do a neck through guitar, the guitar adopts most of its tone from the neck wood, and not so much from the body wood.... so from a tonal standpoint, unless you want to sound like your neck wood, a set neck makes more sense, because it evens out the tone response of the neck with the body wood, you get both aspects of the tone, and body wood makes more of an impact... so i'm thinking on my 3rd guitar i'm going to do a highly sculpted set neck, so as to have the nice feel of a neck through, yet have the body wood benefit the tone more... just a philosophy of mine i guess...The Soulforged said:
