Guitar Bodies
Body Options
Lam Top Bodies
Almost any guitar or bass body style can be had as a LamTop.
Tops with a thickness of 1/8″ can be bent over a forearm contour using a vacuum suction system. When choosing a 1/4″ top, a forearm contour is not available.
1/8″ LamTop S bodies have a slightly less pronounced forearm contour than non-LamTops.
Guitar bodies: Neck pockets on all guitar bodies are milled to standard dimensions (2.19″ ~= 2-3/16″ wide).
On S or T style bodies, we offer two additional neck pocket options:
2-1/4″ wide pocket to fit standard 25-1/2″ scale Sharv-Hell necks (or spec out a neck from us with the slightly wider heel)
Our exclusive wide neck pocket measuring 2-5/16″ to accommodate our super wide 1-7/8″ nut width neck
Either square or rounded pockets are interchangeable on any body style at no additional cost.
The standard rear routed control cavity is sized so that there is enough room to fit an assortment of pots and switches without removing too much wood. All rear rout bodies include a black plastic control plate cover. We also offer a rout for a battery box, if you need to have easy access to swap out a battery. Rear rout bodies will add extra Cost.
We have 4 different rear rout cavity styles:
Certain body shapes have a classic design to which we have all become accustomed. S bodies are rounded on the edges and have super comfortable rib and forearm contours. T bodies are sharp and dig into your arm and ribs (but it’s a good pain!). We know that not every player likes to stick to these traditional designs, so we offer contours and custom edge radii on most of our body styles.
On bodies that do not normally have forearm contour or rib cut, we can add them for $15 each.
Contoured heel is optional for easier access to the higher frets. Requires shortened neck mounting screws to keep them from exiting through the face of the fingerboard. Contoured heel upcharge is $25
Binding on a flat surface – $72 per side
Binding on a carved top – $90 per side
Drop top binding = binding on a forearm contour. A labor intensive process will cost an additional $90
All binding on bodies is approximately .080″ thickness. Available in white plastic, cream plastic, white mother of pearl jeweled, natural, black plastic, ivoroid plastic, abalone jeweled.

I need to know if you can build a 335 style body from walnut. I would like pointed top horns instead of the rounded ones that are typical now. Something like the old Trini Lopez style.
