Please let me know if this can be done. If so, i would like the master volume control location to be similar to a strat. I like to adjust volume with my little finger. Also, I want to order custom knobs and until I know about I/II status, I don't know what to order. I emailed a custom logo to Susan. if the Skyway trem could have a 5" arm, and a larger diameter I would be pleased. Thanks for your attention!

The drilling for the controls is on hold, and I've got a message over to Rick at Skyway regarding the tremolo. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 7617 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, February 03, 2012 - 5:42 pm:    OK, to start the control layout, is this about where you want the master volume to land? jzstephan Junior Username: jzstephan Post Number: 22 Registered: 1-2012 Posted on Friday, February 03, 2012 - 6:24 pm:    Hard to tell without the bridge.. Maybe to the left 1 or 2 mm and down 1 or 2 mm. Can you photoshop a bridge on it? Thanks!

I think you nailed it (bad figure of speech) mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 7694 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Tuesday, April 24, 2012 - 2:19 pm:    Here's the control layout: The knobs are just placed by eye in the picture for a rough idea. When we drill, we'll actually measure and keep things parallel sorta like this: See how bad my eyes are? tubeperson Advanced Member Username: tubeperson Post Number: 249 Registered: 5-2005 Posted on Tuesday, April 24, 2012 - 2:24 pm:    Awesome Buckeye Burl top! What will the back have? Inquiring minds want to know. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 7695 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Tuesday, April 24, 2012 - 2:36 pm:    Check the build record - I think you will like what you see! jzstephan Junior Username: jzstephan Post Number: 48 Registered: 1-2012 Posted on Tuesday, April 24, 2012 - 8:39 pm:    jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 2858 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Wednesday, April 25, 2012 - 1:48 am:    I saw this at the factory on my visit. It's a beauty. Jazzyvee jzstephan Junior Username: jzstephan Post Number: 49 Registered: 1-2012 Posted on Wednesday, April 25, 2012 - 7:10 am:    There are letters and numbers in the pickup routes. What is the meaning? peetee Junior Username: peetee Post Number: 16 Registered: 1-2011 Posted on Wednesday, April 25, 2012 - 7:23 am:    Given its proximity to my instrument's assignment from late last year, I'd guess 14877 will be this one's serial number. jzstephan Member Username: jzstephan Post Number: 51 Registered: 1-2012 Posted on Wednesday, April 25, 2012 - 8:10 am:    Yes, that sounds right. But what is the other one? It looks like it could be either JZS or JRS. What it is? kenbass4 Senior Member Username: kenbass4 Post Number: 408 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Wednesday, April 25, 2012 - 9:05 am:    The number is the work order number: they don't get a serial number until they're completed. Only a guess, but the letters might be your initials?

What are the letters? It's difficult to read in these pictures. Please, any help? mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 7768 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Tuesday, June 12, 2012 - 6:34 pm:    Jack carved your guitar. Got the Skyway! So now I can confirm the placement of the controls in context with the trem.
