Yuck.  I mean that's hideous.  I wouldn't use that to play fetch with my dog.  Just gross.

Vintage Modern without a skunk stripe?

 

[ghotiphry]

Just kidding.  It's fabulous.  I have a thing for flame maple, that's just an amazing specimen.

And welcome to the forum.  :icon_biggrin:

That's actually a shot of the side of the neck. Was trying to capture the thickness of the boatneck. Yes it has a skunk stripe.

 

[ghotiphry]

What body are you pairing with that fine neck?

 

[Michaelb73]

Gonna do my take on the "black strat".
Alder body  gloss black vintage hardtail bridge with graphtech saddles single ply 8 hole black pickguard with cream colored  Seymour Duncan everything axe set with custom wiring and all black hardware. Have everything but the body which should be here next week

 

[ghotiphry]

Sounds like a great choice.  I'm looking forward to your build thread.

Damn, fooled me to! Took a closer look at the picture, and I can see the stripe. Never would have guessed that that was a side view, looks to be one hand filling neck for sure!  :sign13:

That's a fine piece of wood, there. Congrats. Welcome to the forum.

Wow, what an amazing neck. I want ... :icon_tongue:

 

[Michaelb73]

Thanks. This is actually my third custom neck from Warmoth but my first since 2002. First impressions though I'd have to say this one blows the other two away

The world already has so many black strats...but for some reason, there's never too many of them.  Especially with so flamey maple necks floating around...they really shouldn't be attached to body that doesn't have a solid finish.  And it's a hardtail with black hardware?  Good work!

Couple of shots of the body fresh out the box.  Nothing fancy ..... alder body vintage flat mount bridge route strat
