Finally nearing the ordering phase of my guitar build. I've got the body...just a satin black with an old Christopher Lee Dracula pick guard. That's sort of the theme I'm building around. For the neck, I'm down to two options. The first is a maple neck, painted satin black just like the body with a blood wood fingerboard. I like the likely aesthetic of that combo, but I've never played a guitar with a satin painted neck. I'm not one that has an overly strong opinion on gloss painted necks vs the standard maple strat necks as far as playability, but the satin is an unknown. For those of you who have their necks painted with Warmoth's color satin finish, how do you like it?
For the other neck combo, I was thinking blood wood neck with an ebony fret board. I like that combo, too, but I'm really unsure about how that combo will tie the body and neck together aesthetically. Thoughts on that combo?
