Not sure where to post, so admins feel free to edit:
The Aldrich body I scored last year, mated up w/ a NEWC DK1 neck, plus SD hotrails & custom custom, as well as a schaller trem and schaller straplock. Assembly & photos by our own Jim Glinsky !

Nice. How many boxes of Crunch'n'Munch did you have to go through before completing it? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Check out the nice chunk of paint my cat removed near the three way switch by climbing onto a shelf and knocking over a homade v trem onto the body! [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] I'm still kickin myself for that one.

It's going to be a great playing ax. I haven't even givin it a setup yet and it feels good. You should have it sometime next week Wayne (how many times in the past month have I told you that)! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

That box of Crunch 'n' Munch was bought at the Fleet Center (Bruins Game)in Boston and autographed by the famous Dave Kerpen the crazy crunh'n'munch vender(you'd know if you were a Bruins or Celt's fan). In light of the current state of the NHL, that guys signature is worth a hell of a lot more than any NHL Player! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Congrats on getting a neck hooked up to the body. Looks great. Did the neck have to be modified or did it match up? Definitely looks cool and I'm sure it sounds/plays just as good as it looks. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Doug Aldrich/DK1 Mutt

Thanks guys !
The neck seemed to fit well when I did the test fit. I think there was a little wiggle room, but not bad. Jim can tell you if any shaving was needed. I also lucked out in getting the Schaller on eBay.
Partntz145 - yep - the body is an import, they were made by Caparison I believe. On their site, there is one line where all of a sudden "Doug Aldrich" pops out. Also, based on the paint job (VERY similar to the Caparison I had) and the shape of the heel on the back of the body.
That is also why I posted here, since she really isn't an import, and really isn't a US .. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Re: Doug Aldrich/DK1 Mutt

The neck was a little snug which was fine, but the finish on that guitar is pretty fragile, so I sanded the neck pocket walls a little bit so I wouldn't chip the paint squeezing it in there. The neck holes had to be pluged and re-drilled. It was time consuming, but it went togother pretty well.
