Check out this rare Birdseye Koa!

[Turtle Warmoth]

I've seen a lot of Koa in my time, but I've NEVER before seen Birdseye Koa . We're going to make several necks from these two boards and they're sure to be something special. Just had to share with y'all.

Care to share your spec ideas for these necks? Peg head shape? Fingerboard? Inlay?

Black Ebony board, no inlay. Strat headstock...whatever you do, they should look great.

Edit: Standard thin or Wolfgang profile.

 

[TBurst Std]

To add: 1 11/16 nut and 59 or Boatneck profile.

 

[PFDarkside]

Make in an Arcade and I’ll buy it!

boatneck, 1 11/16 nut, modern construction, ebony board, non-tiltback headstock. Then I'm there.

 

[bruzanhd]

Gotta make a 1 piece tele neck!

That's gorgeous, so just do whatever will show off the beauty. I'm guessing a 59 profile would do the trick. As to fret board, something exotic, but plainish and darkish, like zircote. Pearloid diamond fret makers. Stainless or gold med jumbo wide frets. Tusq nut. As to width, I got biggish hands, but don't go by me, do the width you sell the most of. Headstock shape? Dealer's choice.

Curious, can you pre-order off those blanks?

Well, now that's a heck of an idea...

 

[Strat Avenger]

Standard-Thin, Warhead headstock, black ebony board, M.O.P. dot inlays, 1.65" nut width, 12" radius, 6115 SS frets.

 

[TBurst Std]

Well, now that's a heck of an idea...

I have a build planned that would be the icing on.

Interesting that those show up the same week as the green comet. Take a good look people, because you'll never see either one again.

 

[Spud]

Now will these necks cost more than plain maple?

 

[Cheery Zeery]

A one piece neck with a fatback, and either a Strat, Tele, or Snakehead neck. I'd hate to put a fretboard on it when there's just so much to see.

I won't know what we can even get out of it until our wood processing guys take a good look at it. The boards are definitely not wide enough for the arcade head though.

Lol, I don't see why they'd even have to be as expensive as plain maple

Bummer! I think I understand why the flat headstocks and the tiltback headstocks have different options now.

Well, old Spud is a plain maple fella!

 

[Turtle Warmoth]

Yes, the off-center headstock shapes limit the wood options we allow because they require a wider board.

 

[Cheery Zeery]

I won't know what we can even get out of it until our wood processing guys take a good look at it. The boards are definitely not wide enough for the arcade head though.

But might they be wide enough for a 1.75" nut width? Waste not, want not!

(Okay at that point it'd just be for me, but a guy can dream, right?)
