2” bent top and makes for a very lightweight guitar. I use this ribbed back under the figured maple tops.
Just like hollow bodies, ribbed bodies require a considerable amount of time to develop before the first one can be made. These guitars will sound more like the wood they are made of. The bodies are hollow, not chambered, which makes for an amazingly lightweight and resonant guitar. The body is completely hollow from the tip of the treble horn, all the way around to the tip of the bass side horn, following the arm and belly contours. The same wall thickness follows around the internal pickup cavity and tremolo routing. The ability to make hollow bodies requires many months of complex computer modeling and development, but the results are impressive. Front, back and sides are. Neck: 4mm on bass side, 1.5 mm on treble side You must ultimately adjust your pickups for tone and your own ears and gear. The measurements below are a starting point. Each of our humbuckers have different outputs. We suggest that you set your single coils first and then set your bridge to match the single coils. The goal of pickup height is two fold: Balance of volume between the pickups and balance of the volume of the lower strings to the higher strings for each pickup as well as overall tone. Hold down the stings at the last fret and measure from the top of the pole piece to the center of the string. (Yes, get a mm scale)Īfter the setup is finished, adjust the pickups to these specs. To set the action, at the 12th fret, measure the distance from the top of the fret to the center of the string: the wound strings should sit at 2mm and plain strings at about 1.75mm. Fairly straight with just a bit of relief. Use the index finger on your right hand to push the string down at the 12th fret. You can eyeball this by holding down the string at the first fret and then using your pinky on your right hand, hold down the string at the 16th fret. 002” measured between 1st and 16th frets). Adjust the neck relief with the slightest front bow (about. We set the bridge to sit level to the body with a slight forward tilt. String Spacing at Bridge: 13/22” / 10.5mm
