I know you are looking to do it yourself, but just take it into a shop (imo) they always do a great job. It looks cool but i really can't stand that headstock, it's a deal breaker for me. how are the necks on them? it might be cool to buy one then chuck a strat neck on it (if that's possible).
I would take it to a shop, but the guy I used to take my guitars to moved away, and he did my stuff for free. So I'm not really looking forward to paying money for a set up. Especially with my financial situation.
I think it said on Rondo that if you put a strat neck on one of these it'll fvck the intonation. This is the best headstock I could get for it. My options were between this headstock, and one that looked similar to a carrot in shape. So I went with this one. The neck on this is rather chunky, but it feels pretty good. The only problems I have with the guitar is that the high E tends to snap right by the tail piece, and that it's heavy.
I solved the first problem by putting the outer layer of a wire on the high E so it doesn't come in contact with the metal.
And before someone asks when I weighed it it came in at 13lbs, and on Rondo it says that they only weigh 8.5 lbs.
