New Neck...Having trouble deciding which body to put it on

Can't decide if it should go on the Tele build I'm working on or the RG clone I'm building :dontknow:

Offhand, I'd say the RG clone since in my opinion it's hard to put 3x3 headstocks on a Tele and have it look right (that's just my opinion, though, and not to be confused with facts or even general concensus).

That settles it...was leaning it that direction but needed an expert opinion to verify my choice. As always you rock ccasion14:

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I hardly qualify as an expert. I have opinions for all occasions, though... :laughing11:

OK...I'm trusting your cool taste when it comes to building some of the best looking guitars I've seen :icon_thumright:

I second rg clone.

I don't know.  I think the 3X3 headstock works with a tele body ok.

That neck would be a nice start in taking a Tele into a Tele-Paul direction....

 

[Cagey]

That's a neck with specs after my own heart. I'd put it on the RG, though. For Teles, I'm more partial to the "Warhead".

That does look nice.

The Tele has MOJO Tone pickups. Quiet P 90 neck and Hot 59 clone bridge. That is kind of Les Paul like sounds.

This is the neck I had gotten for the RG clone before seeing the current 3 + 3. It is dry fitted in one of the build photos for the RG.

I second rg clone.

I think you and the group have chosen well and confirmed my suspicions. The Mahogany neck would add tone and some class to the RG clone's look.
