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...

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!


i'm sure it will look great in your parts cupboard philly! :-P

Ah, you know me too well.....  :(

:lol:

That was a bit below the belt though!

Anyway - great looking neck there Fernando :D

Hope the toe heals soon - I know what toe infections can be like. I had ingrowing toenails on both big toes for years when I was young. It was very troublesome, painful and generally extremely yukky... Finally had them removed permanently when I was 14.

Very nice neck Fernando.  I have a Goncalo Alves neck with a Kingwood fingerboard on one of my Tele's.  The wood really feels great.

A cupboard? Surely a room  :)
I think I hate being indecisive.

:lol: I'm as guilty as Philly on this matter, but with me the problem is WOOD :o Have some nice exotic woods here that I think only myself have in all Brazil... Hope someday I can build some guitars with it :(

A cupboard? Surely a room  :)

Neither really, just boxes scattered around all over the place....

I keep meaning to get rid of stuff, maybe just keep enough for a couple of Strats, a couple of Teles.... but it's so difficult to let things go!

You've got some serious issues mate...  :?

Why don't you have a "lets build it" party where everyone brings a tool and you buy pizza and we put them together as a team!  :P

You've cut me to the quick there Dave!  :(

It's only a mild OCD of acquisitiveness combined with hereditary procrastination.

If it was getting me into debt or something, then there'd be cause for concern.  :wink:

No offence intended I'm only trying to provoke some action... You've got some great kit just sitting in boxes.

PLEASE let us help put it together sooner rather than later.  :D

Well, summer's nearly over so I should be able to rise (a bit) from my traditional state of torpor and do something in the next month or two....
