i have always wanted a neck with fancy inlays but i always seem to order SS frets and better wood instead. i got a nice bonus from a long time client and decided to go all the way . just ordered a Padauk and ziricote Warmoth with moonglow supernovas and side dots and ivoroid binding. should be great on a bound body im waiting and waiting for. :turtle: I think my card actually cried a bit when i selected the unique choice quilt top.

Tell that credit card to man up! You ordered what you really wanted? That's all that card has to know! Glad you showed it who's boss.....  :glasses9:
 
You know those inlays will affect the tone, right?
Every other fret will sound either "bright", or "warm". Will make all the notes inconsistent.

I have had a couple of moments of feeling a little unwell when I hung up the phone but have learned the importance of going for what you actually, really want.The difference is just a little more time in either saving up or paying it off. I have a very small number of guitars since I went the partscaster route but I ended up feeling solid about everything that came to fruition because I went with what I felt most strongly about.

Given the time involved in planning and deciding, the money, the waiting for parts...my first project was at the end of 2011 and I am still smitten with the guitar that came of it. My weirdest sidetrack was when I realized that in the twenty years since I had stopped playing then started again it seemed about 1500 people now made pickups. Three months of sound samples finally yielded a choice I am still enthusiastic about.
