It's a Warmoth neck on a heavily modified Squier body, with a severely screwed up pickguard.  |

How's the tone? | Thanks for the interest. The tone is very good considering that it is a 32" scale. I would say that it is bell like, the TI strings and Carvin pickups help. The 3 band active/passive EQ with 6 way switching between the MM and single coil also give it a tonal range that is pretty amazing.

The osage orange was an experiment, I love the bright orange color but it is a terrible wood to work with, very stringy and toxic. I don't think I will ever use it again, although the end product is very good.

Droot | Nice, I've actually never heard of osage orange..
I've read that working with cocobolo is toxic as well
