I know. But I'm going by the imprints in the body for size... those are some big holes.

Posted: Sat Aug 13, 2011 5:41 pmWell I got this deal on a mustang body you see... and I wouldn't have to re-drill a vintage neck and stuff...

It's a MIJ reissue one, in off white... I'm asking for a quote on a PG in this color
routed for a filtertron.

Posted: Sat Aug 13, 2011 6:07 pmMain reason is the Hi flyer bod is really too light and neck dive would be horrid with the music master neck and tuners.. I really wanted that to work but balance was not on my side with that combo

Posted: Sat Aug 13, 2011 6:27 pmThat's too bad 'cause the body is fukken awesome!

Re: New project thread:The Thang MKIII-updated to hurt your
Posted: Sun Aug 14, 2011 2:05 pmYeah it's good to do "something" with that damn neck... it's a beatle bass neck so the string spacing is like a guitar 
I had to make up two 3/16" thick shims cut to the profile of the edge shape to get it to fit... Thing it it is a GOOD neck: five piece maple and a beautiful rosewood FB, it was NOS too so it was never used.

They never got back to me and after reading stuff about them I glad they didn't... so no orange
BUT I've been in contact with Tony over at pickguardian.com and he has been really nice and helpful. I am going to go with a silver-plexi one from them 
I just have to wait for the body to get here to get a measurement. I was going to get the PG for my ric project from them anyway so I'll get both at the same time
