This one has the most comfortable neck I've done thus far. After the tung oil finish, I lightly sanded with 2000 grit wet paper. It feels better than a lot of "real" store-bought guitars I've played.

That's a real nice build man. I wish I could get my hands on maple more easily. I do have pretty unlimited access to reclaimed stuff from old buildings but so far no maple. The contrast maple creates with darker woods is awesome.

Nathan, another sweet build. I like how you finished the fretboard where it meets the headstock, looks sharp. Fretboard wood is very attractive. Doug
