Perzactly Steve. Still wondering if I could achieve this by just
having a new neck put on an exisiting guitar.
and Larry, 12 frets clear would be fine. I am assuming if I did what
Steve said and literally just cut two frets out left everything the
same that's what I'd get anyway. I also assume the fret spacing math
would need to be recalculated. I think the zero fret is also a good
idea.


A zero fret will preserve that capo'd tone. I think Lance is on dial-up
these days, otherwise we would have heard from him by now. I'll give him a
nudge.
