When I found that Warmoth was offering the bari neck with the fatback contour, my wait was over. I had wanted a bari neck but needed the fatback contour. I decided I wanted to put it on my beloved BK strat. I love the guitar but the original Ziricote neck was the SRV profile. It had become less comfortable since having some fatbacks. So I ordered a Pau Ferro / Pau Ferro bari neck. No dots of course.
I've had it on for a month and half or so and I can hardly put it down. The neck feels soOOoo good! I love a raw neck. I tried a few of my other necks on the BK and nothing sounds better than the denser wood necks. I think they compliment each other very nicely tone wise. I love the stretched out scale. It was a real work out at first but I have become accustomed to it. It takes a bit of getting used to needing to adjust the bends a bit. It takes a bit more to get the same effect.
The neck is just beautiful and it works perfectly with the guitar. I am so happy with it and highly recommend a Pau Ferro neck. I could go on and on about it.
I've wound some pickups just for this guitar. They are built very similar to a Mustang. No poles showing. The winds were adjusted for the range. Here a couple of clips. The first is a new project I am working on. Just a short "synapse" of it. I am starting to stray away from a lot of what I used to play and it's very refreshing. Just what I needed.
The second clip is a favorite of mine. Again shortened. It's fun to play it on a different scale. It gives it a different feel. This clip I did when I first put it together and was getting used to the neck. Just a little of the intro.
