Scott, full-width MOP inlays on a Cheyenne would look pretty cool, I think, but since they don't make 'em that way, it will be a hell of a mistake!

My 24 fret 5 string Blackened Laredo project (at Paul W's.....well down the list) is slated to get full width inlays with a silver tinge to 'em. Nice!

Yeah, I know Paul. But seeing how you've waited and stressed for such a long time it would be a nice perk to make up for the waiting.

Brian, what route structurally are you taking to convert your 4004 to 24 frets and 5 strings?

A new neck (maybe 34" scale....still have to finalize with Paul) and I'm still debating on profile/width specs. It's a tad down his que so there's plenty of time to nail down specifics.

If you move the bridge back, you can get a 34" scale. A longer fingerboard, new fretboard and deeper cutaways will get you your 24 fret neck. Keep it all Ricky!
