I'm thinking of ocean turquoise metallic for this because I love an aged lake placid blue.

You guys approve of the back route? I wanted to make it easier for wiring.

Not got a major problem with them, and when it's as neat as that even less so. Would be nice if you had a matching wooden cover plate for it, sprayed the same as the body?

I replaced the white dots with nicer slighter bigger pearl dots.

That's a fuller neck profile than I am used to.

Didn't I tell you? I'm making it a slide guitar. Ha. He has to do the back still. Im going for a slight v shape.

I totally would have shaped the headstock before binding and fretting.
Looks nice and the guy is doing a great job on it.

He's done a starcaster headstock before but this is his first one from scratch and with binding I think.

this is about as much as I'm comfortable taking off it.
It's pretty damn neat, if I say so myself.
the original has more of a concave. But it's nearly impossible for me to recreate that completely.
Mine is done a lot more like the Bilt heads.

I used a spoke shave and electric sanders.
Punkacc9 wants a 'V' profile. But it turned out to be more of a standard thin neck.

So he didn't do the headstock right OR do the neck carve you asked for.... Well worth the money then.

It's alright. He's new to building necks and this is his first starcaster neck. And I think it is coming out awesomely. He is also wayyyyy cheaper than the other people I asked to build a starcaster neck. I told him a v profile or a thin profile. So either or doesn't matter. As for the swoop. That doesn't bother me. If I really want it more concave ill have cooterfinger do it. This is the same way as built and stereordinary does it.Thomas wrote:So he didn't do the headstock right OR do the neck carve you asked for.... Well worth the money then.
