Thankyou from my wife and I to all forum members and guests who have posted in or read this thread and for all your thoughts and prayers. I hope that the awareness of all childhood illness and mortality has been hightened by this sad event. To all parents, please go give your kids a hug and tell...

Hey, I say anyone can be a master of their chosen field. It comes down to how much time you dedicate. It may take longer than you hoped or longer than the kid down the street took, but who cares? The mastery of anything is all about the journey you took to get there not arriving at the...

Thank you all so much for your kind words, prayers and condolences. My wife and I appreciate them greatly. To elaborate on the cause of his illness and the ultimate loss of his life: Yoshi died of a heart attack that was the culmination of a condition known as Kawasaki Disease which mainly...

My son, Yoshinosuke (Yoshi) Pinkerton, 5 months and 11 days passed away this morning. Incredibly loved and missed by all who had the great pleasure of meeting him. Yoshi, you are in our hearts for all time

Outstanding flame figure on the neck. If only I could get that grade in a Jackson style neck...

I think it's certainly complimentary to the build and an ebony fretboard would be a little too much black. I think this guitar needs contrast and the maple board provides it. Too much black and I'd feel like I could only play Vader songs on it. As for the inlays, well yeah, they may be a little...

Yeah I only did it out of neccesity. The '59 profile is just too thick for me, especially up high on the neck, it was no fun compared to my thin so out came the rasp!

I'll do my best to take good care of it JaySwear ie: play the living s#@% out of it!  :party07:

Thanks line6man, I'm glad it made an impression. I'm going for a recessed Floyd which is an option in the Star builder so should be sweet as.

Thanks, kboman. Ain't no '59 no more! It sure was fun to do.   :cool01:

Yeah that's where the scarf joint is. All Warmoth tiltback necks are made out of two pieces of wood (not counting the fretboard) because of the change in angle. The shaft is one piece and then the headstock piece is glued to that. You can see the shape of the joint in the last picture.

I started by rasping flat patches behind the first and twelfth frets to within about 0.015" of the standard thin neck thickness. I left this extra thickness for sanding. I then lowered the rest of the length of the neck until I had a flat and level surface between the two points using the rasp...

Blasphemous? Maybe, but a necassary evil. Modifying '59 Roundback profile to Standard Thin.

Oh ye of little faith. Floyd present and accounted for.   :headbang1:
