Ill give that a longer tenon seems like the obvious move to quality. But we know that there is more than a neck joint that makes for a great guitar. More importantly however, is the piss-poor short tenon joint pic you posted!! I understand making a point, but that short tenon was just obviously poor. Not at all fit to the joint, and not at all flush to the wood. It looked as though it would need screws to hold it in place and even THEN would seem unstable.
Makes a short tenon look like a non-option when we know it CAN be done well. Kind of like a Pepsi challenge where ALL the choices are Pepsi... not really fair.
Im glad you and Overdriver came to terms though... Still, I hope your wives can forgive you. Why caint yall just quit each other??
As far as the VM being offered in P90... Hell, Id have to buy a 2nd VM if that happened. In fact, wasnt the original Custom a P90 all Maho rig? I think you could SERIOUSLY sell a rig like that. Colors or no.
Still, with all the online praise about the VM... who knows where itll lead? I know they offer VM SGs now... but as far as LPs go Im betting itll lead to higher prices, but Im just pessimistic that way.
Still, a VM with P90s... I wonder how much a Custom Shop rig in that config would cost... I think Ill have to look that up!!
