james90 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 cheddatom approved? it's not going to be a full AF build, but a body and neck anyway. Originally needed a neck only, then found out the body wasn't worthy of it! also, hooglebug, I gave you a shout out in a UK luthiers thread on thegearpage.net - hope you don't mind! They seem very impressed so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheddatom Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 that's some tasty wood. Shame you can't get the "arrows" down the middle of the guitar. I'm sure it'll look great though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I want that guitar. a lot. hooglebug, what's the neck profile on that one? I'm guessing it's like what you'd actually find on a late 50's LP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 someone has emailed me about it today and asked the same question. so i measured it. its 20.5mm at the first fret, 23mm at the 12th, and is a nice full rounded profile with slight v-ing of the shoulders at the lower positions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
