Not official, just recommended. Anyways, the fattest guitar neck in the country is coming to a gearfest near you :D

Truss rod label will need to be properly engraved, but this will do for now.

When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Not so sure about the fattest neck - I'm bringing a mystery guitar along which looks like it was made from a baseball bat.
