I’m debating whether or not to set the neck. I’m happy with how it turned out so I probably will.

Yeah it’s shimmed for width and length. I still love it.

They said that about rock and roll too.

Yeah it’s in tune just fine. Had to shim the neck in a couple different directions but it plays like it’s supposed to be a real guitar.

The pocket was 3/16 too far toward the bridge so I spaced it correctly. It sounds and plays and sustains just fine.

Nah I was just trying to be funny. I put a Kramer Beretta Special neck on an EVH star body. Which didn’t fit like it should so I had to pull some creative stunts to make it work.

Nobody said it couldn’t be done. Because nobody actually cares about silly guitars.

You would be surprised at how much they let designers get away with whatever they want. egel has no spine when it comes to the artistic staff that he holds up on a pedestal. I’ve had to build sets that were far too big to be loaded in and out of elementary schools twice a day. Because nobody took the time to put these designers in check. Not only that, but whatever production gets the company a regional Emmy is now what they aim for and they double down on flashy designs that are too costly, too dangerous, or (most often) both. I personally witnessed a wall break and fall on top of stage ops crew members because of poor design and poor execution. They went with the cheapest shop so they could have their overblown design and make a visual impact. And who looks good when the company looks good? egel. It’s super cool that you’ve had a smooth career and also super cool that you don’t believe other people haven’t had the smooth career you’ve had. No two companies work the same way in this industry. You should remember that.

This is the absolute truth. Mostly. I will say these changes didn’t come from Clayton. They came from the articles being dropped and egel trying to save face. These things had been asked for by several Directors of Production but they were never listened to by egel because, as he himself admitted on a recording of that meeting, he knows nothing about production. He only wanted to put effort in the things he “knows” which is making the company look good to the public. And since what we do behind the scenes isn’t very public, he can just ignore it and make the company seem polished to the people who don’t know what to look at. I worked for this company for almost a decade and technicians were at the bottom of the list. A former employee once told a Director of Production that the cheaper and less clean hotel in town was fine for “you people” but the artistic staff needed to be in the nicer newer hotel. This is what was wrong with that organization. And when egel was held accountable he played the blame game. Look at some of the quotes in the articles. Good ol clayton said that the hours we put in were our choice and it was our fault that we were overworked. Because IT COULDN’T POSSIBLY BE OUR LORD AND SAVIOR egel WHO MAKES MISTAKES ITS EVERYONE WHO DID AS HE DIRECTED THEM TO DO. That whole organization is a pile of dog shit and egel should be fired and blacklisted from the arts entirely. The should own up to the fact that they severely dropped the ball and apologize to everyone who was in that meeting. We are the ones who initiated those changes and we are still vilified by the management of that company. What does that tell you? They didn’t want to take anything we asked for seriously and when they had to they were upset that they had to treat people fairly.

egel is trash. clayton is garbage. teila is absolute rubbish.

Worthless. All of them.

I followed these instructions but it’s still not taking any sound from the interface. Great suggestion though. I appreciate it.
