I am going to try the long scale for a couple of reasons- I too can't get over the look of the shortscale neck headstock- it's not very Blueshawk looking, also it's not really that comfy with the huge growth behind the nut. A triumph neck would be the best, anyone have one to spare?
The plus side of the Ripper neck is - they are great necks, IT SAYS GIBSON on it - completing the Gibson theme and would ad more value to the project, it will allow me more room for the Pickup placement and as Uwe pointed out it moves the massive bridge out further for better balance.
I noticed that he Ripper neck is mounted at a slight angle. Does anyone know if the angle is on the neck or in the body pocket ?
What gives the neck the angle?
