Res-O-Glas Guitar bodies yearn to be modified. The section below demonstrates just how many looks and sounds are achievable if you purchase a Res-O-Glas Guitar body.
Basic Design and Layout Options
Pick a neck - any neck from the group shown below and it will work with one of our Res-O-Glas bodies. From left to right, a Danelectro baritone neck, a 1970's Epiphone 12 string neck, an Eastwood Airline neck and a Telecaster style neck would all fit our WLT bodies we offer. The Warmoth 24" short scale Strat neck and the blank peg headstock neck with rounded heel would fit our WLS Res-O-Glas style bodies. Since these necks are used in conjunction with a floating bridge, any standard scale length is possible since you can slide the bridge into the correct location for ideal intonation. Please note, we do not sell any of the necks shown below, we simply want to show you how easy it is to mix and match new and vintage parts with our guitar bodies. Visit the FAQs section for more information on selecting the right guitar body for your project.
(The necks above measure 2-3/16" wide at the base. A range of 2.18" to 2.20" wide is acceptable).
The photo below shows Res-O-Glas Guitar Bodies as they are shipped prior to assembly. Notice on the bodies how there is no routing for pickups, pots or switches. The pickups may be located anywhere on the body surface between the neck and bridge. This design aspect allows the body to be a "blank slate" for you wildest guitar design.
Res-O-Glas Guitars require a floating style bridge that can expand at least to height of 0.90" in order to clear the surface mounted pickups you select to use on your guitar.
Our Transparent Pickguards Effortlessly Lend Themselves to Three Types of Guitar Looks: White, Transparent or Painted.
The example above shows a plain white pickguard. This look was achieved by leaving the bottom protective layer on the pickguard and removing the top layer.
Another option is to leave the pickguards unfinished for a transparent look. Just remove both sides of the white protective covering. Or, you could add pinstripes or decals to this type of design in minutes.
The last example shows a reverse spray paint design. Simply tape the edges of the pickguard to avoid overspray and hit with a can of paint. Pinstripping is a breeze and your paint job will be protected and have a smooth glossy finish.
Our Pickup Rings Accept A Variety of Pickups - Both New and Vintage Allowing Countless Combinations. 
A chrome covered humbucker on the left, Dimarzio in the middle and a Seymour Duncan on the right. All three pickups fit in our pickup ring. The tabs that hold the spring adjustment on the chrome humbucker (left) were removed to fit into the pickup ring.
