Electric XII project?

Post by markarkark »

Don't even know how compatible they are, but one of you USA boys needs to snag this Shenandoah neck, fix the binding and do an Electric XII:

Don't the Villager necks curve around the soundhole at the butt? How did you sort that out?

the neck pocket was cut like a 70's fender, and then i just made the guard fit around the neck. originaly the pups were "marauder" style, but i ended up mounting them normally since i was tired of telling people they were under the guard. it was the blue color for about 3 hours, i put a faded out oly white on top of that and relic'ed the shit out of it.

The ONLY reason this one sold for that much is so someone could make a XII.
