angus is a jewel in the rough
Why wouldn't you just send him the neck? This is grossly imprecise!

28" (and then a little more to make it fit the 25,5" scale)

Are you going to shim the neck or leave it with the same angle?
And what string gauge tuning are you going for ?

probably just keeping the neck the same, i guess, but what would it be like if i did shim it? :P

also, .70-.42-.09 strings, tuning would probably be drop G or F

unfortunately, these weren´t good enough to be used, so either we need to find a neck that mike can look at, or i need to send my guitar to him, all the way from norway :P

so, anyone willing to send an Omen 7 neck over to mikey? or does anyone KNOW about someone who would? it´s for a good cause, and it will be treated nicely! :P

I've heard that you can get lower action if you shim the neck, the TOM bridge forces the neck to have a pretty steep angle.
I'm actually sending the entire guitar down to poland, it's risky and they will probably scam me of it and I'll be crying like a little girl, but it's a risk you have to take.
