Just wondering how feasible a good quality Headless Guitar/Bass kit would be?
Just wondering how feasible a good quality Headless Guitar/Bass kit would be?
Hi DrNomis
Welcome
Attached a photo from one of the builders Micah but couldnt locate the build diary as an example of a headless. As weirdbits said we dont see to many being built.

Looks like Micah did a pretty good job on that guitar, I had a look at the SH-1 kit and decided that I'm going to buy one next fortnight, so that's going to be my first build project, I'm buying it as a replacement for the headless guitar kit I bought from an online company based in Ireland, I managed to get the neck finished, but got put off from finishing the body due to some routing issues, the bridge pickup routing was off centre by about 2-3mm,, also the trench rout underneath the bridge was routed too wide which caused one of the mounting screws to be lose.
I'm thinking of keeping the body finish simple as I'm a newbie at guitar building, was thinking of painting the body white or metallic blue.
While my build queue has the RC-4 next, I've always wanted (another) headless bass. I had one as a teenager in the 1980s, a Steinberger knock-off, and honestly don't remember what I did with it.
