Thanks for the comments.

How big of a fan is going on this beast?
Its a 25 / 27.5.

They wouldn't have lasted long but I know what you mean.

Really liking that fretboard.

More details on specs, please.
The neck is 25/27.5 fan.
The fingerboard is a piece of figured cherry off a tree I cut down a few years ago.
I've put a piece of Wenge on the top of the neck blank before putting the fretboard on :ugh:
The neck is Maple,Purple Heart,Wenge center stripe and a thick Hyedua headstock plate set with the grain at an angle.

Yeah your right ,thats what I thought last night after a beer and a ponder. It only needs a small amount of length though and obviously some finer shaping on the curves. I've got a few twists on ideas for this :spock:

I was a little skeptical on the headstock design in your earlier photos, but it really came together quite nice. Great job!
