Saw that but it feels like so much work. Never wanted to take the risk

Maybe if it was a fretted neck, and not a separate fingerboard.

How do you see that happening ?

I tried gold knobs but it looked to p0rn0 to me. The black ones looked a bit more subdued.

Oh - but Gold P90 covers aren't Pimp-dilly-icious!?!?!?!? :lmao:

You are the guitar maker. I just suggest stuff. :banana:

. . . let's not go there (I wanted to evoke a black beauty kinda vibe, with gold pickup covers and hardware, the block inlay; I always found a black beauty with gold knobs tacky).

I mean, I don't understand what you were saying

don't you need a fingerboard first before you can fret it? Or did you mean a neck out of 3 pieces with the fretboard being integral, like Fender's old school original 1 piece necks (i..e without a separate fretboard). In that case, nah. I tried that once but failed miserably at the 1 piece construction so I decided to never ever do it again.

Oh I mean like Fender's original idea of a 1 piece neck (like my Fender, actually). Just shape the neck with all those pieces of wood, and throw frets on it. The stripes in the front would look pretty cool.
