i've   bought  one  of  his  bodies    for  my  crazy  coven  build  .. i   obviously   heavily modified  it  and added a ton    of silly   stuff ,  ..  but    ... anyway  .

a  point worth noting ,-  the body   is very thin ..  close to  the size/ depth  of the pickups  ,,  hence   i  bolted my  pickups right to  the bottom    and  made a neck support   along  the back .

 

 you  could raise the  pups and   neck  and  bridge  to  get around  this     (as your  problem  in  your current build   )   but  still   it  would seem  a  pretty thin   neck   cut in  ..  unless  you  had  thin  pups   .   or a really  high bridge    / neck  etc  ..

you  could also  get around  it all  with some bracing  etc  .. 

his  bodies are   geared to  his  pickups     he says,   ..   which  still   seems     to  be the same  depth  , so    you  can scratch your head  on that one    as  i  did  .    lol.

you   also  have to  cut  a     notch  for the neck ,  without  farking up  the   thin  top  /  bottom and   lammed  side  wall.

 

all  and all    he  does great  work ,  and the bodies are   perfect  for   the  proper specific    build they  were  intended for ....   which  i'm  honestly  still not sure  what    it  is  lol   ;-)

 

anyway  ,, here's my  beast .

Sean, That box looks like something you could make yourself, if you can make a working CBG, and you have than you can make that box. Give it a try.
