Nice work. 


Also:  I like how you sling that baby up high, where you can actually reach everything and have decent fretting hand position.  Well done!

Sweet guitar, man. And sweet hat! Are you a fellow Oregonian?

How do you like that roasted maple neck? I just placed my order for a roasted maple Tele neck, and I can't wait to see/feel/hear/smell it!

That's a nice piece of ebony as well. Was that a unique choice, or did you let the wood nymphs at Warmoth pick one at random out of the pile for you?

I am. From Bend  Go Lava Bears! Living the surfer life in Santa Cruz know though.

This is the best neck I have ever owned. A little burnishing and no finish and it is so dam smooth! Everytime I play I get catch a smell of sweet maple (no Joke) and find my self sniffing it once a sess. I guess some aroma therapy.

That Ebony was a unique choice. I love it. It almost looks like the maple is bleeding through with the lighter streaks, matches almost perfect. I think you are gonna be stoked on your neck!!
