    Wenge\Bubinga as a neck wood.

    Hi, everyone! I'm thinking about ordering a custom build and I can't decide what kind of wood to use for a neck. But as for the look of the neck wenge\bubinga (5 piece wenge\bubinga\wenge\bubinga\wenge) seems like a really great option for me. This is goin' to be a neck-through 7-string with...

    NGD: Warmoth Baritone 7 (build pics included)

    I have been unable to contemplate anything but the finishing assembly and hardware installation on this beast - finally it is playable. Pickup selector isn't 100% yet. I can get bridge or neck by themselves, but not both at once. Still, worth a picstory. Mandatory...

    Body thickness?

    I am contemplating getting a custom 7 - and have so far decided on bubinga top, myrtle body an all wenge neck, ebony fretboard. I am however, undecided on the thickness of the body. I want a radiused top, so the flow of the guitar goes with the radiused fretboard (12-16), but I want a very thin...
