Tele neck just arrived

[GilgaFrank]

Quartersawn maple, thin C, 6100 stainless steel frets, 10 to 16 inch radius, dark Indian rosewood board. And I forgot to buy neck screws!

Seems to fit quite nicely on the Fender body ...

On closer inspection, I really like how the quartersawn grain runs almost perfectly along the length of the neck.

And the fingerboard is an impressively thick piece of rosewood. I don't see this having any major stability problems once it's set up.

Nice part.  I'm a big fan of the quartersawn look with the visible medullary rays. 


You'll find the modern-construction necks are pretty dang stable.  I have a couple that have been in service for three+ years, and have required no adjustment since initial setup.  Have fun playing, since you won't need to eff around with setup again and again.  Woohoo!

Both the maple and the rosewood look like nice pieces from the pics.  Enjoy...

Nice! I really dig the grain/ finish on the body, too. Is that a quarter pounder in the bridge?

 

[GilgaFrank]

I believe it's a Quarter Pounder, the body is from ebay and the seller didn't seem very sure what he was selling. I may change it for a Bare Knuckle Flat 50, I've never really had much love for Seymour Duncan high output pickups. Too much gain, not enough tone for my liking.

Well you beat me to my next question! hahaha
