Hey guys.
i'm doing some pretty intense research at the moment because i'm obsessed with the idea of building a Thunderbird clone. that's also the reason (thank you (GAD) i stumbled upon this great forum. I'm starting to build the body very soon but there are some things i couldn't figure out yet. most importantly (since i think this affects the tone and character of a guitar very much) i have know idea how the neck tenon looks! is it narrower than the fretboard and reach far into the neck pickup cavity? or is the neck just a fat block of mahagony that is just as long and wide as the fretboard itself?
a photo of the pickup cavity would be really really great! more interested in the 60s ones than the reissues. but the newer ones would also be interesting if i can't find a vintage one..
thank you very much!
