Neck is in.  Vintage tint is prettier than I imagined it would be.  Was worried it would be horrifically yellow.

holy god. that. That better go on a damn good body. That's too incredible. Just...    :icon_thumright:

:laughing7: I was just trying to see how it would look as an arm attached to a potential stump. Good thing it doesn't match my skin tone!  arty07:

 

[rapfohl09]

Whoa...


Because Whoa...

 

[ezas]

speechless

Nice neck, but you don't want that cheezy plastic truss rod cover. It would look much nicer with a nice custom black anodized aluminum truss rod cover, with your name on it... :laughing7:

I was wondering when u were gonna show yer mug around here. Must've smelled the fresh chum!

Haha, def want to talk to u about that. My hardware is chrome.  Whatcha got fo' a po'kchop??

I'm torn between my loathing for birdseye and my love for flame, plus my love for all things purple. I guess 2 beats 1 :laughing7:

Did Warmoth do the black burst edge around the veneer 'by default' or was that something you specified?

 

[sduck]

That looks fabulous! I think the idea with those nut slots is to line up the strings with the tuners, although I'm not sure if they did it right. I do know that the graphtek nut that came with my new angled strat neck needs a bit of work before it'll be useable - the strings are getting bound up in it, causing intonation problems and buzzing. Maybe yours needs that too?

 

[stubhead]

Looking at that picture with the tuners in, it looks to me as though those nut slots are "aimed" at where the string is going to hit the toner post. It's an improvement, not a mistake.

Flibs McGibbs you can have it all, sonny!  The burst was by default!

Yeah, you need to have your slots widened!  (That's what...oh yeah)

You are correct, sir!  They are aimed correctly, thus reducing the condition I hated most on all my former gibbons.

Here's my Warmoth headstock with Grover tuners. I think your nut is cut to correctly fit the fanning of the strings.

 

[fdesalvo]

^ dig that headstock. That wood is beautiful.
