  1. As far as the price/country of origin of the neck, IMO it shouldn't matter too much.

    I think the point Drak is trying to make(which seems to fly right over your heads so far :D ) is that spending $700 on a guitar body and putting a $30 neck on it is just "unbelievable".And he has a point.

    Thanks for pointing out the obvious, but it's really not necessary. You know, because it's obvious. :D

  2. The neck pocket looks shallower than 5/8" to me. It could be an optical illusion, but ...

    It's possible that it's a combination of a slightly shallower pocket and a thicker than normal neck heel. Slight adjustments can be made to both to make it better.

    As far as the price/country of origin of the neck, IMO it shouldn't matter too much. As long as it's straight and the truss rod works, any neck can be made playable. At least until it warps. :D

    Assembling a guitar from parts is not hard to do. The body maker should have requested that the neck come to him for test fitting before the body was shipped.

    My two cents, now 50% off.

  3. One of these days I will need to visit one of these other countries for something like this...Maybe I will get lucky and be able to pull a vacation to pick up my guitar when it is competed in person or something...My luck I would be attacked by a wallaby...or a Dingo..

    Hey Wes, we are coming back to the USA in July or August, and hitting LA, Oklahoma and Vegas. Just so you know :D I expect your guitar to be done well before then though.

    Let me know where/when you'll be in Oklahoma. :D

  4. I got this body from ebay seller delta.luthiery about a year ago and it's been sitting ever since. Routed for P90, Strat middle, Tele bridge. No holes drilled. Three piece, northern ash. I haven't weighed it, but it's a good solid 5 pounder anyway. $75 shipped.

  5. All done. Turned out really good. The finish is perfect, a really nice gloss. I have to go get strings tomorrow and than I can finally play it. The tap tone is really good so I'm really excited to be able to play on it. :D

    It's light at 4.3 pounds and balances perfectly.

    It has schaller tuners and fishman matrix electronics.

    The grain lines on the spruce are 60+ per inch (crazy close), I cant wait to see how it will open up in a few months of play time.
