Before buying a species new to you seek out that species in a production instrument first. Schecter and Warwick have both released instruments with Wenge necks that have hit GC. Wenge is a different animal, but it’s not for everyone. Over time, the feel gets a touch waxy in a similar way that...

They are installed prior to scalloping, no way around this. Can’t change the inlay on a showcase neck. Best option, order the neck from scratch with your choices selected for inlay and scalloping.

I wanna see under the hood at the wire setup with the series/parallel and booster circuits added.

Considering that this was a glitch, but Levy’s still honored their pricing (at that time) this speaks a lot for their integrity to keep their word. That’s priceless customer service right there.

Everything about this build is classy in my book, stellar appointments, all the subtleties, absolutely wonderful. https://www.guitarworld.com/gear/electric-guitars/steve-vai-brian-may-red-special-guyton-guitars Enjoy
