Congrats dude for finally deciding! Looks like it will be one hell of guitar. What pickups are you going for?

 

[stratamania]

Well done, it should look really nice.  C'mon Monday  :icon_thumright:

It reminds me a little of a PRS I saw recently beautifully displayed in Denmark St in London. That really caught my eye.

 

[Logrinn]

Congrats!
I know how you feel - I'm not really at that spot myself - but soon. Soon!

And I was also wondering about your pickup choices. I realize it must be passive since you chose no battery box.

 

[Timmsie95]

My pickups will be Lace Deathbucker in the bridge, and Lace Alumione in the neck. They'll be black, and I'm getting chrome pickup rings (over black plastic rings) to get a nice contrast.
The tone knob will also be a push/pull to split/tap (still not sure which it is, but I'm not diving into that one again)

The best 8 words to ever grace my computer screen...

Congratulations! Now comes the fun part.

 

[Timmsie95]

I'm already tired of waiting! haha. It's going to be beautiful.

 

[Strat Avenger]

I know all about the waiting.

 

[Timmsie95]

On average, how long does it actually take for a custom neck and body to ship out?

On average, how long does it actually take for a custom neck and body to ship out?

They say 8-10 weeks.  My tele build is currently on week 7...

 

[Verne Bunsen]

It's not a typical 8-10 weeks though, somehow it's a very long 8-10 weeks... Congrats on pulling the trigger, I still get a rush every time I see that order confirmation on the screen...

 

[Timmsie95]

It will be a very long 8-10 weeks... And It's coming to Canada, so it's probably closer to the 10 week mark.
:-\

But when it comes... oh, when it comes...  :toothy10: :headbang:

Congratulations Timmsie! I'm looking forward to your build. I imagine you will shower us here with lots of pictures.
