:rolleyes:
Actually... I botched the neck, tried to rework it and ended up getting a Mahogany neck with Gibson headstock and and Block inlays.
No Sou... er, guitar, two weeks! |

I hope it will be worth the wait. If it isn't I'll just have to keep it... |

So is that the old neck in the picture? It looks pretty fabulous from the front. |

Location: Upper Left USA | Personally I like the Gibson headstock. It'll go with the Gibson Tuner pegs, Block inlays and LP Styling.
Mr. Belt Sander can do whatever is needed. |

Location: Upper Left USA | It's a Mahogany Preacher Body with a Maple Drop Top and Gibson-esque Neck.
Seymour Duncan Phat Cats lovingly plumbed into Stewmac 500K Pots and .047mf caps.
A nearly matching figured Maple plate adorns the Headstock, accenting the overall ambience' of the Gold Hardware.
It has a startling bouquet with a reverberant nose... touching lightly on incoherant.
Oh, yeah... I started this Project for Andrew November of 2007.

Location: Marlton, NJ | Woody - I have a question for you:
What is the purpose (if any) of the string holes being at an angle? Is it just for looks? The bridge is basically the "terminus" for the strings, so everything after that is just for show, no?
By the way.... GREAT job! |

Location: Upper Left USA | I'm sure that there is a mathamatical equation related to a significant Theory on angle, break and juncture...
I just poked some holes in the available space and thought it was cool. |

So as it seems, I will finally be taking hold of this beauty on Saturday...I'll let y'all know how it sounds once I tear it out of Mike's hands. :D |
