[Baron Collins-Hill]

if i were to build a solidy body 5 string with a 14.5 inch sale length, i would need some parts.

does anyone know where i can get a:
slotted fretboard
Bridge (metal)
Neck
set of 5 string tuning machines

if anyone has built a five string and has any advice or helpful hints, that would be great

thanks
Baron

I believe Ron Lira builds 14.5" scale emandos. #He might be able to hook you up with a fretboard. #http://www.honestronsguitars.com

I think Schwab also builds 14.5" scale five string models.

i think all of Steve Ryder's emandos have an option of a 13.78 inch scale length, or 14.5 inch scale length for both his 5 string and 4 string models. http://www.sjryder.com/
The EM-45 that he built for me has a 14.5 inch scale length. I'm waiting for its arival, which will probably be in less then 2 weeks. i'm freaking excited about it!
