Retaining the body shape of a classic T style solid body electric, a Saguaro Tombstone is 1.5 inches thick at the bottom strap button and being wedge shaped, it tapers to about one inch thick at the upper strap button. This leaves a heel thickness of only 0.3 inches. The body is constructed with a two piece top and a two piece bottom

To give the thinner heel strength, inside the body is a 7075 Aluminum "T Block". The block ties the neck joint to the bridge plate which bolts to tapped holes in the T Block with 6-32 machine screws.





The strings feed thru a 3/16" brass anchor plate on the back side of the guitar. The anchor plate also bolts to the aluminum T Block with 6-32 machine screws. The CAD drawing below is a Tombstone guitar minus the body, showing how the aluminum T Block connects the bridge to the neck and how the location of the brass anchor plate.





Below are several images showing a Saguaro Tombstone body.



For those that feel the standard T shaped body cuts into their ribs will find the wedge shaped body alot more comfortable, eliminating the need for a tummy cut.
