Neck Upgrade

[Vol. Knob]

The Karosa made neck had to go.  Mounting a Warmoth neck onto a Warmoth body. 
Not remotely complicated....  Save for the fact that I had the wrong tuning peg measurements.  DOH!!!  It'll be done as soon as I can get myself to a drill press.  A tool I don't have in the jewelry store.  I gotta run up to my Dad's shop at the trailer park and apartment complex tonite.

Is that the same neck that you performed the truss rod surgery on?

Nope.  This one is fresh from Warmoth.  This guitar did have a Karosa neck, but I was less happy with its shape and grain pattern.  So I grabbed a Bubinga neck with an Ebony fingerboard neck out of the showcase.  Had them add some stainless steel frets and an Earvana nut.  The neck I did the Truss Rod Surgery on is mounted to my beloved Fender '69 Thinline RI, and aside from a few dorky mistakes, kicks butt like it never kicked butt before.  I'm shocked that I managed to NOT hose that whole operation. 

This guitar will be fully Warmoth upon completion.  I just need to get to a drill press in order to deal with a mistaken measurement.  I'm so excited I can barely contain myself.
