There are a lot of options for body covers; from just plane old paint,yarn,tinsel,leech yarn,dubbing noodle,braid,ultra chenille to list a few.
Yes, I've seen some similar before but not with the ridge shown in the pic. Most are round and parallel til they get to the taper. Probably wouldn't make a hoot of difference. Never did anything serious with any of them. I have some bench time slated for this weekend and have no clue where to begin. It's been quite a while. I'll post if they aren't laughable.
I see what you mean now, but I didn't pay that any mind.Quote:
