Nah, I see room for two more. :laughing7:
I dig the file name too Max...... :icon_thumright:Max said:Here we go
Pretty cool..... :icon_thumright:muttznmongrelz said:Thanks for the kind comments and the cool photos of that KILLER Warmoth Tele Mockup, as well as that CRAZY ASS "Spinal Tap" or "ZZ Top" looking Hot Rod Guitar!!!
Let's see...
- the neck was a Craigslist find a couple of months ago along w/the EMG Pickup Set...got them together for a cool $100.00 "net", after selling the plywood Squier Strat Body, Std Strat Bridge, etc. as it came as a complete guitar...
- using the Lefty Neck because it was what I found and once I had it in hand I was determined to use it. It's one of only two Kramer "Fully Bound Maple Board" Necks I've seen...the other is a "RIGHTY" and belongs to a VKF Forum Friend in Australia. I had an oppty to buy a Kramer Reverse Righty Maple Board w/the "Kramer" Inlay at the 12th Fret two days ago for $180.00 as part of a complete guitar but passed...I like the "Lefty" better...I played it prior to disassembling the guitar it was on...really fast, flat radius, R3 Nut, thin back shape...just super comfy to play...
- Tele Body is a Head Guitars Body - guy in Georgia who has just started listing his products on eBay...$109.99 for a One Piece Ash Body....hard to beat that price and it's of the highest quality. I was looking at Southeast Guitars, KnE, Divebomb, etc. for a body but this one caught my eye...
OH NO!!! :doh: HIJACKED...oh well...it's all guitars and it's all good as far as I'm concerned!arty07: :headbang1: :guitarplayer2:

I had the guys at KnE build "Krank n Stein" for me...... :laughing7:

It's basically a copy of an old Kramer XL5 metal neck...... :icon_biggrin:
DangerousR6 said:The XL5's are super hard to find usually, and when they do pop up they'll cost you a kidney...... :doh:
So I did the next best thing..... :icon_biggrin:
So true, I've seen just very little of the Kramer tele's around and even fewr with all maple necks. the Nightswan's are the same way, it's very rare to see one with an all maple neck, but they're out there. :dontknow:muttznmongrelz said:DangerousR6 said:The XL5's are super hard to find usually, and when they do pop up they'll cost you a kidney...... :doh:

Hey...you're preaching to the choir my man! Same reason that I'm putting together the Kramer Tele that I am...finding them is like finding hen's teeth...snipes on a snipe hunt...real breasts in a strip bar...or...bigfoot...more myth than reality!
If you do run across one...everyone thinks they've got some "one of a kind custom shop built, owned and played by EVH and still reeking of cigarettes, alcohol and ball sweat from Eddie" guitar so they ask a mint for them!
Fine looking instrument you're building there. That neck is AWESOME as well!
I've only seen one, and there were also some sustainers and some Ripley's with maple boards...muttznmongrelz said:Hmmm...I don't know if I've ever seen a Maple Board Nightswan...that would be RARE!!!
Seems that the "nightswan" I saw with the maple board was a mythical creature. Someone must have adapted a custom neck to it and called it a "Nightswan". Cause according to this article theUS versions had ebony boards and the Japanese versions had rosewood...But there are some other interesting facts too, like how Warmoth was involved in the making of the "Swan" in a way... :hello2:muttznmongrelz said:I've seen the Ripleys & Sustainers pop up on eBay from time to time...not often cause they get snagged up real quick. Can't say I wouldn't do the same on a fully functional Sustainer.
