          delt, that was one of those fun "weekend" projects that I didn't take a lot of time on, and it shows! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] It's a great player though, here's the Charvel Avenger/Jackson monstrosity:



          I actually did the step in the back of the body as the stock ones are wayyyy too thick back there. As you can see I also did the cutaway, which I thought was my idea until someone showed me an ESP, I think it was, that has the same basic thing. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]



          The fretboard will be getting a dose of "ebony" very soon! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

            DUDE YOU STOLE MY IDEAS!!!!!!! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

            My cutaway doesn't go all the way through the body though, and the neck plate is recessed instead of having a whole section "stepped" like yours.

            I also rounded off the "heel" area so that my thumb doesn't get stuck against an annoying block when i play on the upper frets, and the neck plate is rounded off as well to fit the profile. Just enough wood left so the lower screw isn't exposed - i thought this was my idea until i noticed the same on ibanez guitars [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] The strap button screw goes straight through a hole in the neck plate, much better balance that way.

            Instead of making the neck pocket deeper for a 24 fret neck (dk2 neck) i moved the whole bridge cavity forward, and the body is routed h/s/h pickup layout.
