I am shocked that I only paid 200 bucks for this neck.

:scream: So am I...... need to find out how to contact this guy! Does he do bodies as well or just necks? I wouldn't mind a nice birdseye or bocote neck w/ reversed headstock for my Texan (especially one that actually has jumbo frets), and one to start my "Super Tele" project. :yesway:

A guy was previously going to make me a SuperTele, but he hit some rough times and never got past finishing the body, the neck was going to be birdseye maple with a bocote fretboard, the body was Black Limba, with 2 Padauk stringers. I REALLY wish I would have bought the unfinished body.

That was going to be mine.

That reminds me very much of the flamed korina body that Lee posted recently. I really, really love that aesthetic.

You guys are all giving me tone-wood. :nono:

Do I want Joe Barden Ganny Gatton pickups in this? I'm thinking I might, despite the strange double rail look for a Tele.

Danny Gatton's tone flat-out ruled. How much of that was Gatton is tough to say, but do it.

This should not even be a question.

Barden tele pickups > * :scream2:

^ :agreed:

I still have a set of his humbuckers boxed away somewhere. It makes any guitar sound like a Tele.

I'll shoot you a PM tonight with his contact info. I ran into him via Ebay when I was looking for something unrelated, and I noticed his other auction listings were actually guitar parts. From the bit of research I have done on him, it looks like he may have been one of those builders that got in a little over his head. Fantastically talented, but it seems he has gone back to a day job, and just whips out partially pre-made "in stock" stuff occasionally on the side. He did allow me to choose the headstock carve, fret wire, tuner prep, and the nut prep, so it looks like he does offer some basic options.

Thanks man, yeah it seems there was some bad blood with the frankenstraat site he had, but man its some killer work. Hopefully I can talk him into a couple 7 string necks. :yesway: I'm planning on building some bodies this summer and wasn't sure where to get my necks from, and I think this guy might be just what I am looking for.
