Goncalo Alves - Pau Ferro tele neck

[crash]

Just got it out of the box a few minutes ago.  Here are some pictures with the Zebrawood tele.  The neck doesn't quite fit in the neck pocket as I have some tru oil along the edge from the sanding slurry to fill in the grain.  The pattern and color on the PF almost matches the zebrawood perfectly.  That was the reason I bought it from the showcase.  59 roundback, 10-16" radius.

Looks very cool!

Sweet! We'll be the tele-twins.

Wow ... well done, great match up there  :toothy10:
:icon_scratch: I'm presuming Black hardware, only by the black Nut. Looks great as is, already !!

Very nice! You're right - the color/grain matchup is serendipity. People will be doing double-takes on that for the rest of its existence.

Black hardware.  Ideally, I would have liked either no fret markers or black fret markers, but I think it looks alright with cream.  One more thing I forgot in the first post: Gold 6100 frets.  :glasses9:

You're going to love those frets. I have them on one of my Strats. Feel like stainless, look like a million bucks. Be sure to get them dressed and polished.

Love the wood - going to be a great build  :hello2:

Pau Ferro just works so well as a fingerboard wood, not only visually appealing but great tonal response too. I was an Indian Rosewood man until I built my first Pau Ferro neck and now I'm never going back.

Wow, that looks pretty awesome...Soild zebra.... :icon_thumright:

Yes, solid zebra.  Probably the worst wood to grain fill.  Now I need to come up with a good idea for a neckplate.
