    i guess you are right. back to the drawing board. the only real problem i have with the current production usa's are the floyd with no option for a fixed bridge.

      The Generator is great, but there's no way of knowing if knob/switch placement will actually be ergonomic or if you'll regret it (can't reach the switch fo the knobs, can't turn a knob without flipping the switch, can't reach the knobs with your pinky for the bridge, etc).

      Best advice is to get a cheap import body and start drilling holes until you find the right spot for you. Or you could stick knobs onto the surface with some kinda double-sticky tape/stuff and see where you want them. Once that's done, measure everything in relation to the bridge posts (2" below and 1 3/4" behind the bridge, etc).

      Also remember that due to the shape, a standard-sized Kelly must have a San Dimas-style route. It can't take an Ontario (Soloist) route. A King Kelly might, since the body's bigger, but I've not seen a Kelly with an Ontario control route.
