Well an update: since last friday I've taken everything to my luthier and it's been a stady process of seting up everything correctly
Since I bough a separate body and a neck to be modified from a vintage trem to a Floyd Rose I knew it was better that he didn't it instead of me trying it out for may self and all I can say is that YOU CANT IMPROVISE ON EXPERIENCE!!! There where A TON of small details that someone else would probably just not pay much importance but he sure took his time so everything came out perfect! Some of these "issues" where:
- when we started moding the nut he noticed that not only was it not cut at a perfect 90 degree angle compared to the neck but also the actual fretboard is a bit bigger on the low E string than the high E string size! He had to make a custom shim for the Floyd nut to sit right and tomorow he will take care of the action.
- the tuner holes had to be enlarged a bit for the tuners, no problem on that BUT he noticed that the holes where not in a straight line.
- I bought the neck body at a special offer because the brindge screw where done not in the correct space... BUT in reality ALL of the cavities where not cut in the right place for the guitar to be set up in the correct scale lenght. This meens that the bridge holes where actually in the correct position compared to everything else on the body but looks like the template sliped back and everything actually was like a 1/4 of an inch moved. So to fixed he had to: a) route the pickup holes and the bridge hole foreward, but doing that there was too little wood to hold the bridge posts in there place that meens he had to add a bit of wood there and in the back of the trem block hole to fill the gap
Tomorow we will see if the action is good or not and see what has to be done in that respect.
In the end I think it will be just what I wanted it to be: a true players guitar with the potential of actually sounding great and looking really good too! Hopefully tomorow it will be done and I can test it out
PS:
The neck did gave a nice surprise and that was that when we started doing the oil down version like it was talked about in another thread with Tung Oild and Wax it revealed a NICE GOLDEN COLOR in the mahogany of the neck!!! Its amazing how awesome it looks! Depending on how the light hits it it really looks like it had little spots of gold actually in the wood!!! So I'm happy with this surprise
