I can't resist posting a new pic with my new camera. It takes MUCH better indoors shots.

If that was what I was gonna do-and it ain't;)-I'd move the pup more to the neck.
By using the DS "swimming pool route," it then becomes reversable in it's hole.

Move it more t'ward the neck. If you don't like the extra sonic depth (and I think you will) then reverse it so's the poles are on the bridge side.


Also, I'd find a donor Rev neck, and send it to Dolan, Lull, or some other such qualified luthier who could mic it up (micrometer, not microphone!) and make a damn fine copy of the neck. The Reverend necks are just dreamy, I think.

Lastly, I'd add a string:hiding:
 
That's great. Gives you the difference between Precision Standard, and "bigger and deeper."

How, exactly, is the Rev neck different from...whatever?
Dunno, zactly.
I do know Rev 4 and 5 string necks are just very very nice and comfy.
The BH5 neck is a chunk, and requires getting used to.

I have on hand:
72 Tele, 51 P RI, 62J RI, 72 P, 81 L1000, L2000, SB2
Rev JJ, Rev PJ (are the necks different? never mic'd em...)
The Lakland Scheff 4, and HB4 are also very fine necks.

To really get very definative about such things, you have to get out a contour guage, and a radius guage, and get to measuring a lot of things.
 
Overkill? Not if that's what you want.
2 D's's take up a lot of real estate due to the surrounds...

The Geddy neck is way skinny, back to front. Ick.
