Rosewood because it’s cooler 😎

I had a 24 inch scale 24 fret guitar for a while. An oddity off rondo music. It was a little too small for me. My fingers felt crammed together on the upper frets. Gibson scale is as low as I can go.

I missed out on that rosewood neck. It already sold 😔

Oh interesting

I just looked it up. Didn’t know that existed, thank you sir 🙏

I would love to use a normal old locking nut but they aren’t compatible with a Vega trem since the Vega trem doesn’t have fine tuners. I suppose I could use a floyd trem. Way cheaper than a Vega and a nut buster. Just have to shim saddles and what not.

Thanks. It’s a bit bland in a way but a serious player. I’m going to do a tele version with the same trem and locking nut buster but in gold hardware, bubinga top, roasted maple neck and Kingwood fretboard. That’s my plan for now. Also an angled bridge humbucker.

Your welcome and good eye because without explanation it would seem pointless.

I’ve had locking tuners. They just lock the string so you don’t have to wrap the tuning peg as much. They don’t really lock the strings to stay in tune for whammy usage.

The nut buster floats on the strings. I tried to use the nut buster without the string tree at first but have you noticed the slight design flaw with 7/8 warhead tuning peg placement? The low E string is angled toward the A string slightly between the nut and the tuning peg. I can see this in...

Looks great!

Another pic of this beautiful guitar! Locking guitar nut buster and floating Vega trem. The only way to get a floating trem with adjustable saddles and locking the strings with an earvana nut all at the same time as far as I know.

Reverse slap shot is what I would get no question

Real nice wiring! Those schaller bridges are great!

It doesn’t look very fancy but it plays and sounds so good! I was actually planning a second 7/8 and this was my basic build to see how how the neck and fretwire size feels. Feels great but next time I’m going with wizard and jumbo wire. Going with a bubinga top on a poplar body. Still undecided...

It’s pretty light weight

There it is basically done. Just need to add the guitar nut buster, the string tree and I put the strap buttons on since this photo. Plays beyond amazing. It has the standard thin neck 10-16 compound radius and low wide frets. Feels practically identical to my USA peavey predator neck which is a...

I’m assembling it tomorrow. I did like 10 coast of odies oil dark on the neck and body. I should have grain filled and sanded because it’s pretty low gloss. I put on several coats of renaissance wax at the end and it did help but not much. It’s ok, I like a satin finish but it turned out very...

When I’ve setup bridges to have low action with a 10-16 compound and then check the radius at the bridge with an under string radius guide it’s a 20 inch radius. You might want to shim the floyd to that.

Just got parts for my next build. Ash body, maple quarter sawn neck with low wide frets, standard thin contour, 10-16 compound radius, earvana nut. I’m building this around my Vega trem. Great tremolo but I’d like it to be on a 24 fret guitar, that’s why I’m building this 😉 It’s a floating trem...
