About time @Russ get in the game.
a Rabbit hole is waiting…

Thanks @russ for your kind words. I have about five going at the moment and more to come. Some are necks for existing bodies and some I will be making bodies for as well. So all the necks in this…   Read more»

@russ Yes, new builds are much easier and repairs can be a can of worms. I’m repairing a 1970s Fender at the moment with a bolt on neck. It’s a nightmare as the fixing holes in the neck are loose…   Read more»

@russ Looks like I can attach pictures now, nice one Mark! This is it – it’s a nod to the Peavey Wolfgang EVH but neck-through instead of bolt-on. Spec-wise it’s a cherry-maple-cherry laminate with a wenge fretboard, ambrosia maple cap…   Read more»

@russ – Not quite ready for that but certainly one day – maybe for the 5000 subscriber special…I’d have to do a bit of tidying up first – you cannot see the chaos outside the frame!
