THinking about a neck . . . .

[B3Guy]

there was a huge influx of similar necks (varying back contours) in the showcase if you're GASing. (Std. Thin, '59 Roundback, even a lone Wolfgang IIRC)

My next neck from Warmoth is most likely going to have to be a custom order. For one thing, I want a "Warmoth" headstock and they just don't make that many of them. For another, I don't want any fretboard inlays, and you almost never see those in the Showcase. Finally, I want a short scale, which is also not seen in the Showcase very often. Add all that up, and you get "custom neck". That doesn't bother me, although they are usually a bit more expensive, but I do wish I could get one of those with Goncalo Alves neck meat. I don't have one made of that in the collection yet. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem as though you can get that wood and a tilt-back headstock at the same time. I thought about doing the paddle head thing with a straight headstock, which would allow me to get Goncalo, then cut my own headstock shape, but then you can't get a short scale.

Damn parts manufacturers... always restricting my activity...

It makes me so angry! I could just pinch them!​
