The Raven

Skitchy, Skitchy, Yah Yah Yah!

The donor... a 25.5" scale 305. Ideal for an 80's Super-Strat Metal machine.

Skitchy gets to work by plugging the corners of the treble pup:

The routing begins:

And then the Floyd Rose route...

And then Skitchy adds the nut shelf (snicker) and the thread savers. No bolts through this neck!

A little paint, black hardware, some pup mods, some electronics wizardry, badda-bing, badda-boom... and here it is.

The Raven!

Very nice! I love mangling a Floyd! Did they trim the neck carve to a soft V or is that just the grain doing tricks?

Dayummm!!! What pickups? That looks unbelievable! Big congrats!

Thanks! PTC Hot-rod 305 Single-coils and a Tremonti in the bridge - which will be replaced with a Deep Dish II later tonight.

I don't think the carve was altered. Feels stock to me.

I gotta leave those details to Shawn, bro. I don't really know beyond the fact that they sound much hotter.

Oooooooooohhhhh:rock:!!!!!! Hot-rod 305 single coils huh? Extra winds? Looks like the pole pieces or whatever the equivalents are on a 305 are exposed? Details?

 

[Mikegarveyblues]

Very nice mods indeed. Not big on Floyd Roses but it works very well on that guitar!

 

[jfb]

Wow. Killer. I want to send a guitar to the PTC now. Off to hunt for my diamond in the rough.

Hey Sergio! Now I know the song you and I are doing at my 40th Birthday bash! Sounds like some basic Nile Rodgers licks.
