Nice guitars man, and I like the all in one thread idea. I can't wait until I have enough money to start my build. This only makes me want to more.

Recently, I saw a Tele that had been made with a rosewood body. I can't remember where, really... But it looked great, and I can't help but think it would have a bright and unique sound for a Telecaster. I just thought I'd bring that up before you used up all of those wenge necks. It sounds like a great combination for aesthetics and tone, or at least worth the gamble. Though, I can only imagine that a slab of rosewood would be pricey...



Hell, maybe I'd buy it...

I've got a 5-piece wenge and maple neck sitting in my closet waiting until I find a chance to take my body woods to someone who owns a planer.

The neck is fantastic. Wenge is beautiful and the unfinished feeling is incredible. can't wait to hear it wonce the whole thing is assembled.

new legocaster neck,
neck/guitar builds for my first few customers as a token of appreciation for starting me out.
fanned fret heeless strat

well. i got an order for a cajon from the girls section of camp here.. i guess they were mad they never got to use mine but the youngest kids did.

so anyways. they ordered one.. and i built it in 2 days. woot.





and then within the past 24 hours, i got orders for 3 more of them.. so. thats pretty sweet.

il be making a bunch of them it seems during the next 2 weeks.. going to devise some jigs to make gluing them easier.. may get a biscuit joiner or something.

they are pretty cheap right now. 60/piece

basically they are all same size/ etc. then you just choose a color. they are a BIG hit around here, and even people that often run live gigs+recordings, and people that have recording studios etc, have said how awesome mine sound when mic'ed up.
