OmaPlata Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Hey guys, it's been a while since I've posted. I'm back into my project tele now(one piece swamp ash body), and it's time to order my neck. I'm looking for opinions, particularly in the department of wood choice. I'm looking for a wood that I don't have to finish, but that is tonally similar to maple. I don't mind if a little warmth is added as long as I maintain some tele bite. I'll be running tele style single coils...perhaps Fralin Blues Specials. Here's what I'm thinking: Back Countour: .95" U basically trying to copy an old nocaster baseball bat(wood density is a concern because of the size) Wood: Wenge/Wenge, Wenge/Ebony, Pau Ferro/Pau Ferro, Pau Ferro/Ebony or ????/???? Frets: Jumbo, 6150, 6100, or 6000 can't decide Rad: 7.25-9.5 compound Nut: 1.650 Anyways, I guess fret wire and wood choice are my only variables I haven't decided(other than some minor cosmetics). Anybody have some words of guidance? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
