Love it, Love it!  I'm really itching for a Pao Ferro neck.

Nice!  That'll be a tone machine.

That looks smooth, and I bet it feels real smooth too. :kewlpics:

Mmmmmmmm.... Chocolate..... =)

 

[Cagey]

That's a fine piece you've got there. Between the pau ferro and the stainless, it's gonna be the most sensuous guitar you've ever played.

Were those pics taken at a jewelry store? I'm trying to figure out what's underneath the shipping box for the neck.

Its going on my trusty old Fender MIJ '69 Thinline RI.  At least that's what it was when I bought it in 1996.  Since then I've replaced everything but the body, the bridge plate, string ferruls, strap buttons, and tuners.  Heck, I've even peeled off the thick poly finish and wiped it down with Tung Oil.

This is neck #3 for it.  I had put a Karosa neck on it two years ago, but after dealing with too many issues, I finally got off my cheap ass and got a Warmoth neck for it.  I got this one from the Showcase.  Sold my Epiphone Les Paul Custom for it.  I went with the '59 Roundback profile to commemorate the memory of the Les Paul.  It was a great guitar, but you can buy them all day long, one exactly like the next, on ebay for $400 or less.  I'll never knock an Epiphone Les Paul, they're excellent and cost-effective.  But I'm out to play something unique and distinct.

Forgive any shameless self promotion, but yes, I own a small Jewelry Store in Mission, Kansas.  A suburb of Kansas City, Missouri.  Missionhill Jewelry is the store.  My wife and I bought it a little over a year ago, its been in this location since 1952.
