Spalted Maple anyone............... 3rd Part

[Nando Vallart]

:icon_biggrin:
Hell yeah! Here is the neck:

Soooooooooooo nice!!!!!  :blob7:

And now almost done:

Specs:
Body: Alder with Spalted Maple top (showcase)
Neck: Wenge with Macassar Ebony fingerboard an veneer (Unique Choice), SS6105 frets, fatback
Pickups: Bare Knuckle Piledriver
Bridge: Glendale Blackguard rolled steel double cut (with missused screws from neckplate  :tard: At least it can give more sustain  :laughing7
Electronic: 4 way switch (been done, the pots was short, had to buy others from Warmoth, shall fit...)
Nut is going to be Fossilized Mammoth Ivory

The neck came a little darker than what I was expecting, but it's ok, probably will be nice, if not, I can make a Harrison Tele with it and get another  :laughing3:
As said on specs, waiting for new pots and screws from Doug's neckplate...

Will wait more to the test with epoxy I've done dry completely, than see if it gets better with epoxy or super glue, than finish the plate... The nut I'll try to do next Tuesday...

I would like to thanks so much Mr Gregg Steward and Mr Spike! As well to everybody from the forum that give hints, ideas, feelings and cheered up for this project! You freaking rock, guys  :headbang:

Dude I can not wait until you get this thing finished. This guitar-to-be has been around so long, it'd reached legend status. I love it.

 

[Nando Vallart]

[kboman]

Sweet, it's finally all coming together!!  Looks like this one will be worth the wait.  :rock-on:

 

[shanejw]

Thats some beautiful grain on that neck.  Glad to see it's finally coming together for you!  Can't wait to see it done.

 

[GoDrex]

what's crazy is how it looks like the grain from the headstock lines up with the grain on the fretboard... :toothy12:  how dey do dat? :laughing8:

ooops - it's a veneer :tard:...

Magic  :toothy12:
It matched way better than I could wish.... better than this just taking a piece from the same piece of wood, as some acoustic guitars  :glasses9:

 

[GoDrex]

Hey what does the back of the neck look like?

 

[elgravos]

That is absolutely stunning.  You put us all to shame!

 

[mayfly]

About time that beauty came together!  You have the patience of a saint, NT.   :kewlpics:

Are you going to put a pickup ring on the neck pup?  Personally I think they look a little awkward.

Edit: Oh, and if it's a contoured heel, be careful with those screws

 

[tfarny]

SWEETTNNESSS!!!!!

 

[Wana_make_a_guitar]

Now hurry, Put it together! 

 

[Nando Vallart]

Thanks again for all the kind words!  :icon_biggrin:
