Nice!  :D

I've got a neck with a mac ebony board, and it looks completely different from that.  Wood is wonderful stuff!

So what guitar's it for, Fernando?

Very tasty, Fernardo - but I think you have a fungal nail infection starting...

Gunstock oil will only make it worse.. I think he needs penicillin.  :?

:lol:  You guys crack me up! Yes, I've a infection on my toe... the fingernail of it was taken last weekend and a Zombie's Attack came from the flesh under it, so I'm taking medicine, one of them is a Iodine 1% solution and looks like that weird...


About the guitar, I'm using it on the old Spalty Tele :D
Gonçalo Alves (sounds warm as Mahogany) + 24.75" scale + Piledriver + Tele = Pure win, I hope :lol:

Philly, this was a really "picked up" Mac Ebony, coasted me the normal price +US$85 for Unique Choice :?
Usually Macassar is darker with way less strakes...
And you guys need to see this Flamed Koa in real life, it's amazing! :D Hope I can get a more accurate pic when I finish the headstock!

Thank for all the comments guys :D

I've never ordered a "unique choice" neck, they're so expensive!

Here's mine.  The stripes in the board really are "rainbow" colours like that, it looks quite amazing.  I hope they don't fade!
