Wow. This thread is still going strong. Looks like this one was a big hit, Mike.
There's just something unavoidable about a bright pink guitar. It's like a fully customized '30s coupe passing you on the road - you just have to stop and watch.

wow, you're right Jackson, i guess the crazy pink was a good choice! i know i like it, it's just cool to see others with a wild open mind to a bit of an 80's flashback!
this has made me decide to go wild with my color choice on another Clone. i ordered a new body for Clone #001 since that body was made by a random company and not the same as the rest. so a nice 1pc alder body is on the way and the color for it will be just a wild as this yet no fear of being "girly" hahaha. granted i may change my mind by time it gets here LOL but chances are good it's going to be a wild one too!
Dr.Mavashi: i think jmh covered most of it. however, you can score a real fender neck off ebay if you wanted and it should fit fine. if i'm not mistaken all kramers have a 2 3/16" pocket, i don't think they ever used the larger 2 1/4" like Charvel/Jackson and Wayne.

That guitar kicks ass. I especially like how the volume knob is out of the way and that the Floyd is non-recessed. I've always liked NR Floyds for how the strings sit just a little bit higher away from the body.

Xssive- if you're building another guitar you should try this- instead of the old fashioned wood screws to bolt on the neck, these are threaded machine bolts. I just installed them on my kit, they give you a much tighter neck joint with more sustain and resonance- you can tighten the neck alot more with these than you can with the old fashioned wood screws.

There's a cheap $20 copy on E-bay which I used. It does the job but the bolts aren't polished up nicely like this one. Best of all it makes switching necks easier

Re: Clone Guitars #004…Major 80’s flashback…
thanks guys!
JM: i've seen those inserts before but to be honest i like the goold ol' wood screw way, nice and simple.
as for the 2 1/4" heel i think it started due to the floyd rose trem to give more fingerboard wood next to the strings at the upper frets which it does do.
