Thanks Dafonky... will sit down and breathe for a while...

Yum 😍 Could you add a pic of the body without scratchplate to see the routing? Thanks!

Hi Agnes, Yes I used normal strings for it, actually the machinehead slot for the E-string is wide enough for the main part of an E string to fit, so i use pliers to crimp the string when changing (have only done this once as not much travel in the last year!). Re the intonation, I've not noticed and changes. Because the hex bolts go into metal inserts the neck essentially always fits to the body exactly the same every time you remount. Hope this helps, Tom

Nostalgia attack 😢 1990 in a hot sweaty basement gig... I snapped my first G string, slapping like a mad thing, nearly took the guitarist's eye out 😂 Looks like a peachy example, glwts!

Dimensions (approx): Neck - L 605mm, width 60mm at body end, 40mm at nut, headstock/machineheads max 130mm. Body - L 430mm including strap buttons x W 250mm. It fits comfortably in a 60cm suitcase (neck diagonally) but I think a 55cm case would be too much of a squeeze (especially if the total length includes the wheels, which most airlines enforce). Hope this helps Tom

Hallo Hermann Kein problem, ich werde Morgen früh messen und mitteilen! mfg Tom

Yep, completely happy to have chats about the history of instruments, makes the whole experience richer 😊

Phew, that was a near miss for me too...😅 Those mad pickup positions have got me thinking though...a bit like some of the recent crazy Atelier's, could take a jazz body and rout for extra pickups one right up by the bridge and one right by the neck. Hmm...I wonder if there's a jazz body knocking around somewhere I could experiment on... 😁

Thanks Chris, My eyes keep doing a double take, is it a jazz or is it a strat?!! 😂 Tom
