Neck ordered!

[fdesalvo]

Here we go again.  This time:

Warmoth/25.5"
Standard Thin (sweet mercy, let this one be the one)
AAA Birdseye maple back
Pau Ferro Board, unique choice
Perloid Blocks
6150
1-11/16 white Graphtech
Ivoroid Binding
Zebrawood peghead veneer

I'm going to finish it in true oil and install onto the ZebraHog.  Will update with pics in about 6 weeks (badaboom!).

I hope those 6150 frets are stainless steel!

'Sounds really good.

No dice :/.  Bound necks don't get gold or SS.

I was going to make the same comment Autobat did before I noticed the binding option. That's too bad. You get a premium neck made of premium woods from a premium manufacturer with premium options, but the best perk of all isn't available.

Ah yes. Binding.  I had overlooked that one.

Yeah, all good, however.  I enjoy the standard frets, as well. I keep them highly polished, though I know it's not *quite* the same.  The information on the site says something about being impossible to trim the little nibs off the fret ends on the harder alloys. 

Nicest fretboard I ever played was a Parker Fly's.  Funny thing is the neck is slimmer than a Wizard, but the overall feel of the damn thing is so good you don't notice.

Interesting. I have a friend with a Parker Fly, and it's a thick, chunky neck. It's thicker than a Standard-Thin.

^ Is it one of their bolt on models?

I think so, but honestly, I really don't remember.
