Xanthus Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 The good part about the middle strip is that you can use it to set the center line and have a nice, aesthetically pleasing strip down the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davis guitars Posted March 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 The good part about the middle strip is that you can use it to set the center line and have a nice, aesthetically pleasing strip down the middle. thats kinda what i was thinking, i was worried that if i put the strip on the side it might break off so i decided to putit in the center i like the contrast in it. u really cant tell from the pics but the out side peices have a nice figure to them and the center strip has a lot of color to it . i need to get a regular camera to take pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanthus Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 I like how the neck came out. The contrast of woods is really nice. Is this going to be a bolt-on or set-in neck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davis guitars Posted May 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 bolt on i really like the shape it fits my hand perfectly which i guess is always a plus of build ur own guitar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
