am building my #7, not a strat this time, its PRS Santana body style, but a CE22 type neck, bolt on.
one difference is i'm using 5 bolts instead of 4 to secure the neck, and also am gonna glue it in(set neck). should technically do wonders for the sustain, will update you guys later when its done.
Body is using Nyatuh/Nato wood, flamed aa grade.
Neck is a 5 piece flame nato/walnut/flame maple/walnut/flame nato 5 piece, with joint at headstock.cos if it breaks from a drop can easily just glue it back.
Feel of the neck is raw, ibanez prestige wizard styled thickness..
Fretboard is Macassar Ebony.
the body has just come back from spraying, havent had time to sand it down and apply buffing yet. just wanted to try out my 5 bolt system and fit the neck.
also put in a set of dunlop straploks which you cant see cos i countersunk them. which means it'll have to be used with straploks alone.
(this feature was inspired by warrior guitars...)
