The headstock shape looks great, i really like it. And i also love how bright the grains are in that wenge, i actually think i like it more than the typical dark grained wenge ive been seeing all over these forums!

Thank you!
Yes the shape of the headstock is great, similar to the Jackson Broderick (I...and I love that guitar!).
The woods are really beautiful , the grain of the wenge is just insane!

Damn, that wenge looks amazing! Looks like it's going to be a quality guitar man. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Is it me or the picture or the fretboard is not centered in the neck?
When I look at the jonction with the body, on your last pic, I see it clearly moved on the right side, should say of a few millimeters.

The fretboard is centred perfectly...maybe a strange photo-effect?
If you look the photos above it'e more clear how the fretb is fitted on the neckthrough block

Another little photo-update....I'm soooo excited!!

 

[Giuseppe79]

The works go on!! OMG!!!

This came out amazing! I love the color clash. Reminds me of marc okubos guitar a bit. What kind of finish are you gonna put on it?
Lots of people like oil, but with woods as beautiful as this i like to see them with something more protective!
