How does that work?
Does the bridge have to be moved?
Or do they have all the math worked out and the neck already makes allowances for all of it.

Also - the pic above - I have never seen a 22 fret neck with that much fretboard overhang.
It seems that there would be different math for that body, since the bottom of the neck pocket is further from the bridge than a 'standard' strat.

Cool, curious to hear how that works out.

I have a 26.5" scale Ibanez RGD that kicks much ass :rawk:

Basically they take a 25.5 scale neck and add another fret on the back. So the bridge does not need to be moved.

Your eyes are tricking you, theres a standard ammount of overhang and the neck pocket is a typical distance from the bridge.

Funny enough, playing an RGD is what really made me want a bari :lol:
