Replacement Wolfgang body?

[Nitro Express]

I once had the crazy idea of having a company named Michelangelo Guitars with the motto of "We choose the best wood and then cut away everything that doesn't belong."

that's not a motto, that's a mission statement!

Yup. Keep your eyes peeied. Lot's of Wolfgang auctions on Ebay. They aren't easy guitars to build. You have to have the neck pocket angle just right and the pickup depth routings right. You will actually spend more money trying to build one than just buying a good used one and the one you built probably won't be as good. You won't have the graphite reinforced neck for one thing. I have five of the things and they are consistently good guitars.

I have a couple myself and love them too.

The plan for this project is to build with all Wolfgang/EVH parts, so the neck, pickups, etc will be just fine.

For this particular idea to work as we're seeing it we need an unfinished guitar.. The art is going directly on to/in to the wood. It won't have the same look and feel on a body that's prepped for paint. So worst case I strip a body down and go from there..

Shit, I didn't know about Meanstreet guitars! Thats pretty cool. I think I am gonna buy the 5150 style neck and body and build one with cheap parts and a fake floyd. ..just for something to hang on the wall not to play. Sounds like a fun project.
