Pic Of JohhJohn's Work - Strat Neck Refin

[Jeff_H]

JohnJohn did some really nice work on my favorite strat neck of all time. He re-shaped the headstock for me slightly, added a vintage Fender decal, did a custom leaf layout on the back with my initials and "Sweet Melissa" for my wife surrounding it. Thin nitro finish on the neck feels like a dream. He also leveled and polished the frets, leveled the fretboard and replaced the pukey original inlays with abalone. He did a super job, and anyone should feel comfortable sending John some work.

The original color of this body was a god awful black sparkle. I took off the finish, stained it with a light golden maple color and used a thin wipe on poly for the finish.

There is also a pic of the body, as Jolly requested in annother thread.

Man . . . thats sweet. I love what he did with the headstock. Subtle, yet nicely curved.
Still looks "Fender-ish", but unique.

Its gorgeous.

I cant wait until I get the neck I had JJ make for me. I've got the body sitting here, and I've been playing it with the stock neck, but it's just so "lifeless". I really do think that the neck is the soul of the guitar. You can take a neck and put it on any guitar body, and it's like you're meeting up with that old friend from highschool. He looks completely different but it's the same ol' guy.
