Quite some info needed here!

Here's the link to my mahogany/ebony neck: http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=11088.msg150888#msg150888
Plenty of pictures
 
I have two Ebony necks, two Wenge necks, Two Pau Ferro necks, and a Bocote neck.  They are all dandy.  They have their own personalities, but all in all the all are pretty good sounding.  I have also become pretty devoted to Roadhouse pickups, they have mojo.  I still want to try a Goncalo, Rosewood, and a Canary neck.  I have projects for most of them, just not the disposable income.  So far my favorite necks are the Wenge ones.  It is not for everyone, but for me, they have a nice amount of mid push to cut, and are wicked slick to play.  Can't get enough.  I have also gone over to the '59 round back profile.  I love the Standard thin, it is very close to my main guitar growing up, but that 59 is just a bit comfier.  Never had trouble with the necks getting mucked up with hand grime, and I tend to have sweaty hands.  Oh yeah, get the stainless frets.  For no other reason than durability.  You'll probably find other reasons to like them, but the durability factor is off the charts.  Good luck with choosing.

Late to the party here...what part of Germany are you in?

I'm currently in my first build, as well, and it is a kind of Steve Morse inspired guitar.  :cool01:

Usually when I zest lemons, it is to make limoncello  :dontknow:

I never heard of that stuff until last year when my roommate made a batch. Pretty yummy. Gotta watch it, though. It's easy to drink, so it'll knock you on your ass pretty fast.

:headbang:
 
I have a rosewood neck w ziricote board, rosewood w ebony, a mahog with rosewood and a mahog w ebony. I've put them all on the same body (a mahog with flame maple cap) for comparo and from my testing I find the rosewood necks to have a nicer midrange with the mahog body. The mahog neck/rosewood board w mahog body is very dark, the mahog neck/ebony board w mahog body is brighter but seems to be more highs. The rosewood neck/ebony board w mahog body was nicely balanced but a bit bright for my taste. The rosewood neck/ziricote board is the one I wound up leaving with the mahog body as it was brighter but more in the midrange with very warm but articulate bass. Nice for the sounds I like switching from metal to jazz playing.
