Stunning. You're a real talent. Like what you've done with the headstock and the string trees. as well as the rest of it of course.

I'm in love with the alumni tone!

oh I thought you had a couple of spacers or whatever in the black dot to keep the strings straight or whatever past the nut. Obviously I've got something wrong, either the terminology or their existence in the first place!

I like it but:
the strat input jack mounted on the side as per Hamer would make the top look a little cleaner
There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

Another piece of art. Nice colour matching and a Korina neck through. Interesting. Sound samples?
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Hey that's amazing :D
The neck though, is it set in or actually a single (book matched) piece of Korina all the way? o_O

Re the jack, I'm looking at a recessed socket idea but it's quite hard to do. This guitar was not deep enough
.
Re the neck. Yes this is my first attempt at a neck thru.
