Yes ziricote is truly an awesome wood, especially for fretboards. One day I'll get an all ziricote neck... :headbang1:

My PLAN for the barifatback, was actually going to be Maple/Maple/Tru-Oil. However that ZiriPadouk neck sidelined that idea. Well.. actually the development I mentioned earlier did. Ironically the week I ordered the Wenge/Ebony conversion neck - I found out similar news two days later, and the missus was N.O.T. happy with me buying guitar stuff at the time.

I don't know when, but I will do it. Oh yes, I will do it.

All-ebony necks feel like a dream. There's nothing like them. Do it now!

Thanks. I almost pulled the trigger myself. For no other reason than the no-inlays and raw-ness.

You can't handle all the sustain from the CBS-head? :icon_jokercolor:

If they ever do one with Vintage Modern construction, or if I can somehow get Musikraft to do a 24.75" conversion one, all-ebony is an immediate purchase for me. I have a vision of matching my guitars up, so I have a single coils with 1-piece rosewood, P-90 or Wide Range pickups with 1-piece maple and humbuckers with 1-piece ebony. Got the rosewood and maple done, ebony's the last piece of the puzzle...DangerousR6 said:

I'd certainly never do it on any of mine, but the first time I saw Gene Simmon's 'Axe' I thought - has nobody ever beveled the Stratocaster headstock? It fairly screams axe - dunno if that's the origin of the term, but we can start an urban legend right here.

According to http://www.word-detective.com/041007C.html, which is just some random internet site that popped up first on google, the term can be traced as far back as 1955, but derives from similar usage for the saxophone. But hey - 1955 is close enough we can say it derives from the Stratocaster headstock, and now you have another equally credible internet source. Everyone link to it so we can come up first on google.

Oh I realized that, I was actually talking about the Strat headstock. Gene should've gotten the axe a long time ago. As for the idea/joke: I think the 70's headstock really begs for the edge:

Fender's messed with it from time to time. The Starcaster was the only bevelled headstock they stuck with for mass production though, and that whole guitar was canned after a fairly short life.swarfrat said:

More ziri from down under:
And another that's just to pretty to pass over. The bling *almost* kills it, almost - but you have to try harder to wreck something that pretty.

Too bad the similarity will be obscured once you put a bridge and pickups on it:

Yeah, but it'd be a screamin' guitar for sure.
