Hey Guys..
I am considering building a strat that I want with the features I want.
Here's the thing. I've never setup a strat with a Floyd that sits on the body
or that doesn't float. I should say I've never put one together. I've had them
in a Peavey Wolfgang and it worked great and helped with sustain I thought.
Anyway, I can buy a used body for sure from Ebay from an old Jackson or maybe
even a Charvel, etc,. What do you have to look out for in buying a neck? I mean, I'm
wanting a guitar with the old Charvel sand dimas type necks, and I am thinking I'll either
use Warmoth or USA custom guitars for the neck as I want stainless medium jumbo
tall frets, a symetrical EVH neck profile, etc,. and this would be the perfect guitar for me. I'll
use a new Floyd or if possible I might use an Ibanez Edge as I really like those better than the
real floyds. Does the height of the floyd resting against the body require the neck pocket to be
different or should this difference be in the neck ? Where does this happen typically? Why does it matter?
Thanks so much. in advance. You folks rock!
