ABM headpiece info

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi guys,
I've ordered from Moses an headless neck for my next building.
Now I have to order an headpiece.
Steve (Moses) told me that he has shaped the neck to mount the ABM, but (as you can see from the photos) is impossible to me to mount it angled as the AMB sheet shows...

Can someone tell me if the headpiece mounted not tilted will work?

If he built it for the ABM headpiece, and it appears to fit, then my money is on it working.

Also you can buy headpieces directly from Moses, that way you know it's right.

not possible, Steve moses wrote that this kind of neck was prepared for an ABM... but I' have to mount it whitout the tilting. So I'm wondering is that should be possible...

This post isn't making a whole lot of sense to me. You bought the neck from Moses... yes? Why don't you simply ask them... Hey, what headpiece will work with the neck I just purchased from you and could you please send me one.

Sorry if I'm sounding a bit terse... but... is there something I'm missing here? Is there some reason you can just ask the folks who made the neck?

Hi.

If the ABM headpiece follows the contours of the neck, I see no reason why wouldn't it work.

If it seems that the headpiece won't fit or the strings end up in awkward angles or something, there may have been an error in the shipping. Is it possible that the straight end neck end is for some other headpiece?

Why don't You take a pic of the headpiece on the neck, that should clear things up if the folks at Moses can't help for some reason.

Regards
Sam
