I was wondering..........did you make your own neck, or buy one ready made and add it to your body. Bodies are pretty straightforward to do but a neck must be dead accurate with fret spacings calculated.

Well, if I'm being honest, I really had more than a bit of beginner's luck. The neck came from an old guitar builder, the rest was much easier. Someone asked me to build a second one: the old guitar builder had passed away and as second best option I bought a neck made by Höffner. Not a success, not at all, you had to press down really hard on the frets. The end of a promising career....

:lol: We are looking at doing some repainting and I hadn't checked this topic for a few days so I looked today and went to the last page to see if any firm favourites only to find some chuntering about guitars! Thread drift, it's hilarious :lol:

No need hotrodder, I found it amusing and it's not unusual.

UPS had just pulled up with my paint. :clap:
