Who can make a Charvel style body with these features?

[Matt_B]

I'm looking ahead to my next project and I'm trying to find someone who can make the body I want. Specs are simple but Musikraft doesn't offer it (I checked). Here's what I want:

- SD Style body with same style rear control cavity.
- EMG single coil route (no pickguard TITE route, no pickup flange)
- Recessed OFR
- 2 pc Alder clear grade (just an oil finish).
- 2 1/4 neck pocket.

The place I bought my last SD style body from doesn't offer them any more (cease and desist letter). I checked Warmoth and they don't offer bodies with a 2 1/4" neck pocket. They also don't have the correct rear control cavity.

Any suggestions?

Yeah, I contacted him to see what's up. I bought my last one from him and would like to do business with him again.

Nope, never looked them up before but now that you brought it, I checked their site and they might be able to do what I want. Thanks!

I e-mailed them already and asked for those specific options (EMG single coil route and recessed OFR) and they stated they do not offer those options. I might be able to get the person building the guitar to do do those things but that will just add to the cost. I'm trying to get a body with the options at what from the manufacturer.

Just received a reply back from Slash at Mojo - he's currently not taking any orders at this time. Bummer.

That sucks.

KNE appears to be my best bet so far. They offer a Soloist style body that can be had with EMG single coil routes and a recessed OFR. While it's not an SD body it's the next best thing.

I might be able to work with a non-recessed trem and regular single coils routes but I haven't been able to find a picture of a guitar with EMGs mounted in a regular single coil mounts.

Still lots of stuff up in the air on this build. It's #3 in line but I'm trying to nail down what I can now because ordering parts like bodies can take a while to get.

If you can live w non recessed OFR musikraft has been good w me. I got one of their mutts and had 2 custom body's made from them. No complaints just be specific. Why not tabbed single coil routes? EMGs will fit in either but some company's won't.

Yeah, I've read nothing but good about Musikraft. I'm only trying to avoid tabbed single routes because I really don't need them and would prefer the cleaner look of non-tabbed routes. Both Duncan and Dimarzio offer their single coils without the tab/flange so if I ever want to change out the EMGs there are options.
