Congrats.

I definitelty need a better camera. Mine is 7-8 years old, which makes it obselete.

I think it'd be pretty cool to see the top laminated to the back to see that and the neck together.

I don't ever care about maple at all, but this is plain amazing!

[Stew]

yeah ... love it! The flame front and back is sick and goes very nice;y with the grain on the ash.  :icon_thumright:

Looks great! I'm thinking about a neck with those same specs (1-5/8, wizard)... how do you like it so far? Are there any production guitars you might compare the feel to?

 

[llmtelecaster]

Beautiful guitar! Are the neck mounting holes counter-sunk?

 

[Cagey]

'Tis a fine piece of work you have done there, Mr. Boy. Kudos!

 

[SustainerPlayer]

Oh my god!​

 

[Doughboy]

Beautiful guitar! Are the neck mounting holes counter-sunk?

Yes, they're countersunk & the heel feels 90% like a neck thru-body.

I love the 1 5/8 wizard necks with jumbo frets. I've never seen a production guitar with a wizard contour that is a 1 5/8. They're always 1 11/16. I've definitely never seen a tele with a thin sized neck. Most have baseball bat sized necks for some reason.

This neck, for reasons unkown, is my best feeling neck out of all of my wamoths, which are all wizard & 1 5/8. No idea why, as the all should feel the same, but this one feels extra sexy.  :laughing7:
