I am SO jealous of that neck.  They need to make more bocote necks with no inlays...

 

[Cagey]

I agree.

Sharp fiddle. If it plays half as good as it looks, you should be one happy camper!

Holy exhibitionists, Batman! You think that sig is large enough? Everybody's gonna get carpal tunnel syndrome scrolling past a billboard like that! Maybe you should put up a web page and link to it in your sig, rather than post the web page itself. My understanding is that space below the post is supposed to be for an identifying signature, not a full page ad.

Yeah oooops....

All set now I may go back and tame it a little more even....Sorry about that ...

:tard:

No pablum.

Haven't been able to play much due to my health issues (just got out Thursday from another 6 day hospital stay and have a surgery scheduled in a week and a half followed closely by a trip to the mayo clinic).  I did get to play it live for the first time in church this morning and I'm in love.  Already feels like an old friend!!  Band loved it too!

Good for you Steve. Hope you heal quickly.

I love the look of bocote! Each neck is a unique piece of art!

Great build - it took all of my willpower not to buy that body.

Thank you sir for saving my bank account!

 

[Steve St.Laurent]

Glad I could help - lol.  I'm still trying to get a good picture of the guitar, it's really hard to take a good picture of.  It's actually become my go to guitar.  Thought I was a Strat guy but this one is drawing me to the dark side!  Now if my Strat had a Bocote neck . . . . . .  ???

 

[DslDwg]

You just delayed the inevitable #4 body is on the way home. lol

Well the nice thing about bolt-ons is you can always change. Easy enough to get a new neck for your strat.

It was a total fluke how I got into teles. I had been skulking around this Warmoth site forever was thinking Les Paul.

I came across a tele body in the screaming deals section and the rest is history. Just love 'em.
