NGD...WOO-HOO!

[horsehead]

Well thanks to a Wezv my bitsa strat is just about there. Wez very kindly wento out of his way to finish my Crimson red nitrocellulose finished strat body with a neck that I've been after for a while & all I can say is...amazing! The spec on the neck is as follows:

right handed strat neck
Classic small headstock (reversed)
Sapelle + Rosewood
21 medium/jumbo frets
7.25" radius
Clay face dots
White side dots
Delrin nut
Tru oil finish
2 way truss rod + dual Cf reinforcement bars
C-shape neck (62 ish specs)

this may even displace my jap strat '62 charlie....we'll have to see if it suits the new band

Wez has done an amzing job & thanks to him my dream neck is now on a cracking guitar

Very nice... how does the wood combo compare to maple/ rosewood?

Looking good....when do I get to try her out...ooh that sounded wrong..

[WezV]

glad it got there safe and you are happy :)

as for sapelle... its sometimes used as a mahogany substitute, especially on acoustics... i find it a bit stiffer and generally a bit brighter because of that.... so a softer sound than a maple/rosewood neck, but still plenty of bite when it needs it!!

that's usually my job

D the sapelle seems to add a much warmer more rounded sound than the maple with the rosewood (which is warm in itself). The Tru oil makes it lovely underneath your hand.

Lookin good, I like the darker colour of the Sapele, goes perfectly with the red and tortie.

phwooar! :lol:

It's got bits I'm "not meant to like" (humbucker, reverse headstock)... but that looks very nice indeed.

tbh i havnt done much with a 7 1/4" radius before so that was a nice change for me to try it out properly... i quite liked it!

I like it for open chord work  8)
