    is this a multscale thread Jrod ? thought it was about your spelling and grammar haha

    model looks wicked dude, looks like a LP shape body with contoured edges.

    Will the bridge saddles have to be on such a radical angle ?

    EDIT I thought 12th fret of a multiscale should be perpendicular to the neck ?

    Yes loosely based on an LP and negative to 12th fret level. That would be taking place on the 9th fret. You can make it any fret you like but 9th is known as the most comfortable. Scale is 27.5" on bass side and 25.5" on treble. Due to the 2" difference that is how the bridge works out for intonation.

    Noice.
    I slapped the straight fret at 12 on my Bass V build, simply because of the longer scale.

    Woks, I reckon you owe me more than one buddy...
    But you will have to get up early to catch me out

    The list so far.

    Oh look, its a knob on a box
    Pink Bari neck

    And thats just a few that sprang to mind.....

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Beauty of a bass DB is you don't have an "F" chord to hit. For guitar with a straight 12th this would have comfort of a broken wrist.
