GAS Alert!!!!

One black no-bezel 'bucker, one knob, black NFT Floyd, and Bob's your uncle.


Wraparaound is the right way to go, but that body's already routed for a trem in the back.

Well I'm not shopping but browsing can be fun. There's some nice in-stock ziricote fretboard necks including ones without inlays and some inexpensive models too. I'm not sure how many images should go in the average GAS post but here's a couple:

Nice unique Ziricote board that extends into a headstock veneer $225

Guess I shouldn't drink Glenlivet whilest browsing. I missed this one, but thanks to Tomatonator, this neck will be part of my next build. I couldn't stand the thought of missing out on this beauty, and when I saw it was still available...... I'm thinking a satin, vintage white body, with a tortoise pickguard. Already have the pickguard I took off my Bluescaster Strat. Saved $50 right there already. Or maybe a Tele, I do still have a tort pickguard for a Tele too......
 
That's a beautiful neck, Steve. It'll look good on whatever you decide on. :icon_thumright:

Looking forward to a build thread. :glasses10:
 
Happy to be of service :) I checked back and saw that it was gone before reading your post. I don't understand that you missed it but bought it..? (edit: I get it now, you missed it while browsing showcase). Anyway, enjoy and look forward to seeing it come to life in an instrument.

Correctamundo!  :icon_thumright:
I usually specifically look for figured ziricote, but somehow I missed this one.

If I might be so forward as to offer an alternative...

When I first saw that neck, I immediately thought to do a reverse color scheme for the body.  Flame maple top with a walnut back, all finished in hand-rubbed oil.

Always happy to hear alternative suggestions, and that is a pretty combo. But I think I'll probably stay with a plainer body to showcase the neck. Much as I like the flame, I think it would detract from the beautiful ziricote figuring.

But, as always, all specs are subject to change. Multiple times. Thanks for suggestion!
 
That ziricote neck is stunning, but this bocote is just dayuuuuuuuuuummmm..

It's like a Rorschach test... :icon_biggrin:
 
I see Bo (Bo kote) peeking around the right side of the back of the neck.
