What features would you want in your ideal workbench? I am probably going to be building one soon and was just curious as to any guitar friendly features.

Thanks again for all the help. I'll be picking up a piece this weekend!

Thanks for the help! The hard maple looked to be rougher cut and maybe as a result was actually a little dirtier. Who knows, I may have mixed the two up when I was looking at them . At least I know what to ask for now. I will try and take pics of the two when I go back. On a similar note, would it be worth the effort to re-enforce the neck with graphite strips or is the hard maple pretty stable on its own?

I am starting mu first project and I need to get my wood for the neck. I will be making a 2 piece (neck and seperate fretboard) neck. I wnt to the local woodworking shop and they had soft maple and hard maple boards, both about the same cost. The sof maple was the color that I see all the neck blanks on stewmac and warmoth. The hard maple was a darker, "dirtier" color. Definately needed a little more planing/jointing. Does anyone know which would make a better neck or at least what the differences are? They were both flatsawn. Thanks!

Hi all! I was wondering if there is any difference in telecaster headstocks as far as length and shape go? Have they varried from year to year? I have a couple of templates, one from the telemoders forum as well as another and they both look good on my neck template but are different lengths. I havent gotten the software to look at the ones here in the d-load section. I am going to try to match them up to some teles at the local shop but I wanted to get an idea before that if possible. Does anyone have any measurements they wouldnt mind posting? Thanks!
