    Scratch built neck, and maybe save the LTD neck for another scratch built body. Like if there is just a silly shape ya wanna try but don't wanna get too precious about, use the LTD neck for that.

    Kind of want to see the LTD body stripped and redone with the original neck on it (could be a future project). You should definitely build a neck for the new body and just make it a completely custom guitar. Can't wait to see what you decide to do next.

    It’s such a beautiful body, that you made all on your own. You may as well do the neck too. That way it’s all your own creation. And you can customise your neck 100 percent to your liking.

    Looking great! Really liked how you rounded the curves off and the timber selection is beautiful.
    Regarding the blemish on the back you mentioned about, have a look at where the fender style jack plates are mounted on the rear of the Charvel Pro Mod Dk guitars, that may help with a possible solution?
    It's easy to say just build a neck, but what do you have to build one?
    There are other options available as well, but you do need a nice neck to go with that body.
    What ever you decide, take your time, it may save you in the long run.

    Custom neck, of course. With full blown jaguar/jazzmaster type head. Personally I like telecaster head but only on telecaster. As for colour it's personal preference, I would choose some kind of orange (because I like orange) or faded dark red.

    Build your own one-piece maple neck but give it big JM / Strat style headstock. Body finish most definitely a solid color from Fender 50s/60s models. Champagne pink comes to mind. Try Nitorlack nitro finish - it's fantastic stuff.

    I'd reassemble the LTD and sell it or keep it as is. Build the neck to go with it. Not sure about finish. I think a traditional burst would look great but so would a colour. If you want to accentuate the darker parts on the edges, an even colour across the top may be best.

    Build a neck! The Meteora is such a cool design, recently I've found myself obsessed with Fender Offset shapes. I wish I had the ability to make bodies but I don't currently, I recently converted a 70's Japanese Jazz bass copy into a guitar and I love how it turned out it's cool seeing the big offset body as a guitar. Now I want to replicate it and build a nicer one but of course no one sells anything like that so I'm stuck finding another bass to convert or waiting till I can make bodies myself. Your video was super helpful at showing the process!

    Threw a like just because of your DIY alternative to sash clamps - I have filed that away for future use.

    2. Build a custom neck.
    Color: some kind of burst, but not traditional red/brown to yellow. Something else. Dark green or blue or copper (or whatever) to the same color but a lighter version.
    The tear out: create a custom output jack here, like a strat output but placed inlaid on the side of the body.

    In my opinion, you already went the extra mile and build your own body, so building a neck for it just seems right... Also would be very interesting seeing you installing a trustrod, frets and all that. But whatever you choose I'm sure will turn out to be an outstanding guitar.
    Regarding the color, about a year ago you did a purple burst test on a strat style body that turned out amazing! That would also be cool!

      It's a local auction in a town called Bangor, in county down. I don't know where you are, for some reason I'm guessing mainland UK? But anyway check out the website Easy Live Auctions if you are UK you might find a local one to you.

    In principle I say that there is nothing wrong with combining a neck from any guitar with a body that you built yourself!
    However, in my opinion this pairing does not match at all. Thus I also want to encourage you to do the neck for your meteora yourself.
    Apart from that I think that a p90 pickup would suit this build very well!

    How did you determine the center line on the body?

    • @Giant_Guitars
      @Giant_Guitars  วันที่ผ่านมา

      I ended up lining the neck template up on the new template I made and used a laser to sort of eyeball it to where I thought it looked right. I may be slightly off if you actually measure it properly or compare with another Meteora, I don't actually know, but it looks right and I'm happy with it 🙂

    Yes build your own neck, it would be a shame if you didn't build a neck to compliment that great body you built. You'll only regret it if you don't

  • @rexdarvog
    @rexdarvog 15 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    Build your own neck, you've already constructed a body so no reason to not try building a neck as well. If it doesn't work out, just use the LTD neck or some other pre-fab neck.

    f it build the neck but base the neck pocket and plate on the LTD, worst case the neck doesn't turn out and you have the LTD neck to fall back on.

    Why do a two piece body ... when it couldve been 1 piece ? Im curious. Nice work. On guitar.

    • @Giant_Guitars
      @Giant_Guitars  14 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      The one pieces configurations that I laid out all had defects/big cracks in them so I found this was the best use of that slab to try avoid too much issues in the wood!
      I have plenty of it left, could do a one piece with flaws for something else!
