Anyway, progress thus far.

Nothing is really " better " , iCE , it's all preference.

Icey means:

Wouldn't it be considerably less stupid to use a strat trem or TOM?

What JD meant Icey was that better is a subjective thing. A TOM or strat hardtail would change the character of the guitar and its sound. I would never buy a hard tail strat because I'd miss the sound of the springs.

A TOM or Strat hardtail might give the guitar most sustain and maybe dddve doesnt want that.

I bought a Warmoth Swinger body that I could probably take pics of one of these days, I was gonna make it a big surprise when I was done with the whole thing, but I just took at job at the Pentagon and I have like no time anymore. But if you bug the shit out of me I could take pics and maybe even measurements.

Arlington, huh? That's a bit of a drive, but not terrible. I hope you got a little extra for your troubles. That looks pretty good on paper. There's a great guitar tech over that way who does a lot of the work for GC. If you need any setups he's a good guy to go to. He's on 23rd Street.

Did you ever work out your routing issue? What's the best way to bug the shit out of you? :)

What Euan meant was that it's fucked up that Warmoth offers such a weirdo design in the first place, let alone for such a small market segment.

Is it not obvious what I meant? Or is my humour too British?

That's awesome dude! I've been thinking about getting a swinger body from them too. Aren't they 25.5 scale though? And also... I thought they only came routed for humbuckers on those bodies... so you shouldn't have any problems angling the pickup if that's the case.

I was continuing the "what so-and-so meant" idea. Like playing telephone. I know--it didn't work. I was hoping we would continue to the point where we were talking about racecars or Gestalt.

Yes, that your template. All I really needed was the outline of the body. The guts are all gonna be bronco. I have all the parts already with the exception of neck pup.

this whole 'Aug-is-building-all-yer-shit' thing might work a bit quicker if I had a Bronco and parts, dave.
