Man, greyhounds are great dogs. My father and his wife used to do greyhound rescue fostering, and they had two of their own. I swear they were lap cats stuck in a 85 lb dog's body. I miss those...
Sure, I'll measure the fretboard when I get home this evening. Here's another photo of the neck heel where you can clearly see drop off in wood on the bottom of the treble side.

OK, everyone, here we go. My first guitar build ever. A custom mahogany body, mahogany neck, set neck V kit. No hardware, as I'm going to supply my own. I'm thinking of finishing it in a solid...
Thanks for the guidance, guys! It's going to take me a few weeks to get all of my hardware etc. together, but I'll start building in earnest in early April hopefully, along with a build diary on...
OK then, while we're on a roll...
The factory did forget to drill the holes for the bridge and tailpiece mounts...but i'm not too worried about it because I think I'll put a maestro vibrola on...
Awesome, thank you! This is my first build, so there will be a gazillion other questions to come...

Just received my Custom FV-1 kit with a set neck, however the neck doesn’t have the piece that extends into the pickup cavity like the other set neck kits...it looks more like a bolt on neck minus...
My favorite from the BC Rich family. Just a killer looking guitar.
Does anyone on the very off chance know the if the pickguard dimensions on the FV-1 kits are similar to any of the Gibby or Epi models out there. I'm looking to have a custom pickguard made for my...
The Yamaha SG/SBG series are the greatest looking guitars ever. Just my opinion, but it’s also fact. Would make for an amazing kit.
Thanks!! This will be my first build, but seeing how helpful everyone is on the forum is certainly lessening my anxiety a bit!
Thanks fellas. I’m planning on doing a solid color lacquer finish, with the body, neck, and headstock all the same color. I wonder if I can assemble the guitar and then finish the guitar in...
Thanks for the reply!! I agree, the Vs and FBs (and RDs for that matter) should be set neck standard. The only other company I know that does set neck V kits (byo guitars here in the states) just...
Does anyone have any tips for finishing a set neck guitar? Finish after joining the neck and body or before? How do you mount/hold it while painting? Any tips/tricks/guidance would be much...
Hey there. I ordered a custom FV-1 kit with a set neck joint, and while I’m waiting for it to arrive, I thought of something. Seeing as how the kit typically comes with a bolt on neck, will the...
wazkelly - pretty sure they're regular old celluloid plastic. They were used on the original Dan Armstrong Ampeg acryllic guitars. I've always had a thing for them.
Woooo. About to pull the trigger on my first build kit. Custom FV-1 (mahogany body and neck, set neck). She shall be black with a faux rosewood pick guard and chrome hardware.
So stoked (and...
