| Well, now that I ordered the body, the next step is the neck. Any ideas? I'm looking for a mix ( I guess) . I want to do as close to the original and not run into problems. Also, I need to know the stripe sizes and the best paint choices ( color match and quality) Thanks : Heeeeerre we go |

| Ok body on the way. Now when it comes, a) do I prep it? If so, how. B) Where can I find 1/4 inch tape. All I can find is 3/4. Next is color. I got Duplicolor Gloss Black, Olympic white and Flame Red. I'm not 100% sure on the red. What is the correct red? Thanks |

I kinda did mine halfway with the prepping, i did some filling, but no enough because i was still seeing the grain after I spray the black.
check several hardware stores, walmart, hobby stores for that tape. If you still can't find it, lay a piece of 3/4 on a piece of glass it cut it at 1/4" slices out of it with an exacto knife like I had to.
The concensus here is that Super Red II is the best color for it. however...I used Flash Red on my build, because it was the closest matching color I could find locally. |

| Question, has anyone dealt with Divebomb? I ordered a Franky pickguard and reliced switch last Monday, and have not heard from them. They said they had them onhand. I've asked for a tracking # and no response. Thanks |

| Ok... maybe I guess I gotta look in another direction for the reliced switch and pickguard. Any ideas? Also, when getting a KNE Franky body, are there any adjustments that need to be cut for the Floyd rose with the brass block? In other words, do I have to route? Thanks |
