    The big problem of the necks from ebay is almost always bad fret work, bad nut (i'm taling about Mighty Mite necks). My friend has ordered the necks from chinese company and they were made at the same level but 2-3 times cheaper

    I'm not against the necks from ebay or stewmac (and sometimes use them) but what's wrong with making then neck for yourself? Maybe it seems so difficult but it's not, not more difficult then to build a really good body (especially carved).

    I was talking about that

    awesome guitar and very nice, deep color! But i think you miss one thing - the company logo on the headstock or any other logo, cause without it guitar looks like 'handmade'

    Thanks, bluesy, i like your build very much , especially the top that you use ^) jay5, i realize that it will be weaker then with parallel orientention but i can't say it's VERY weak. The wood is 3 year air dried, the gluing suface is big. We tested the neck joint and it's very strong. When i started to build this project i had a nice big piece of sapele. But not big enough to cut out 3 parts of the body with correct orientation, so i had to use the wood economically But anyway, thanks for your remark, next time i'll find another solution. Btw, have you ever had some problems with such neck joints?

    Hello guys! This is my first guitar building topic on PG, hope you'll enjoy it My friend, the guitarist of russian band Times New Roman asked me to build him a ES-339 style guitar but with strange requirements - he's playing heavy music so the guitar must behave well with distortion. So, the specs: Makore neck 3 piece sapele body (top, back and middle parts) set neck 24.56 scale indian rosewood freatboard hardware: grover locking tuners nashville tom bridge+gotoh tailpiece Electronics: Seymour duncan SH6 bridge humb+golden age hot neck humb The guitar is already finished and i can say it looks awesome and sounds perfect, just like the customer wants it to sound. I'll post the photos of the process from the very beginnig and at the end i'll post the finished guitar and (i hope so) the sound demo Thanks for your attention
