That is one nice looking neck. I love figured maple.

 

[rythman6969]

Very, Very Nice !

 

[Getaway Driver]

No radius on the fretboard?

 

[J. Crawford]

Holy!

 

[JC Basses]

Thanks everyone! Yes, flat fretboard, been doing it that way since I saw Wilser doing it years ago. All my customers seem to like it over a radiused one.

Jared - I see you and others using a lot of forstner work before routing. Any reason why?

 

[JC Basses]

It takes the bulk of the wood out quickly and saves the router bits (which are expensive to replace) from doing it all.

Looking great Jared. Love the birdseye!

 

[tjclem]

Very nice. What are you using to fill the voids in the Spalt? Ca Glue? Epoxy? ....t

 

[JC Basses]

That is the thing about this spalted maple... there AREN'T any voids! I really lucked out.

 

[tjclem]

Wow yes you did no soft or uneven spots either?

 

[JC Basses]

That's what I said, it was pretty hard too! Works just like maple.

 

[Ethereal Thorn]

Shes lookins sexy I love birdseye boards and splated tops.

 

[ctmullins]

Mmmm - infinite radius fingerboard...

 

[Headless Llama]

The lack of radius must give you really low action. I like it!

What I got done today:

Side Dot Markers
Headstock Laminate
Tuner Holes
Neck Shaping
Battery Box Cavity
Control Cavity
Neck Screws
Straplocks
Output Jack

 

[Headless Llama]

I like it! Very nice. I really dig the fretboard extension.

 

[JC Basses]

Well that will probably go away...

I like to keep it long until the end in case I need to add frets/change design/etc.

As it stands it would make it hard to slap/pop.
