Not keen on the thin neck pocket thing at all. What's wrong with a sculpted or contoured heel, like on a Jim Root Tele?

Oh, and I think the kindest thing I can say about the Saguaro headstock is: It looks like I designed it. :wink:

So little wood between the neck plate and the neck - I would n't like to let it fall over (visions of SG type neck break).

Hmmm ...... looks like they had already noticed that too and stuck an aluminium plate inside  :)

It's all very clever - inventive stuff like that always fascinates me - but it seems a bit "sledgehammer to crack a walnut".

There's some slightly dodgy-looking woodwork in the last few pics on this page.  Surely there was a neater way of doing that string anchor:
