Well yes, to be sincere I was afraid at the beginning with the making of a neck because as everyone says or think its maybe the most difficult part. I was in the same rail with this so I was undecided to do it.
Something that I was seeing in several custom guitars or replicas in my country is that they look great but when you play it its no so great, and thats where I though it was a difficult thing to make it sound great. I mean for example I have played several originals Ibanez RG or Jems and of course the confort, sensation when you play it, the sound, all is great, but when I played some replicas of jem or RG models, made by luthiers, they looked great ,some times even better than the originals, but when you play it its not the same. So that its where I think maybe you need to know, beside from making it look great, how to make it sound great too. Thats the point where you need to have lot of experience. Thats why I think the making of the neck is the main key on this purpose. However, I have played replica custom guitars that sound better than the originals too and that is amazing, really amazing when you have done a guitar that sound better than anyone bought in a store.
