hey when I snipped the tangs off my most recent build I just used used the fret nippers, made by FastCap, they're good for stainless too. This left about a 1/32" edge under the fret that I skimmed off with a belt sander. Dunno what you have at your disposal, but these are about 18 bucks. http://www.ebay.com/itm/291520587489?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Trying to hang onto that 666th post ;-)
7 string SG , oh yeah !! And an 8 Parker , go for it crazy horse.
Looking forward to these two and yeah I'd defo add a bit of meat on the side of the SG.
Tunomatic ?
I only do it on the width so it doesn't look too cramped with a wider neck. Its not an exact measurement and I'd only do it for more than seven strings.
I probably tweak every common guitar shape I use , its just personal taste
