Jesus Suffering F*** that is beautiful work. +rep for the big thick body dude, love it. Also the truss rod access channel looks frigging tasty.. looks like you put a shaped piece of padauk in there. Care to show us photos and/or explain what you did there?

 

[immortalx]

Thanks for the comments guys!

AwDeOh I didn't put anything in the trussrod access hole, it's just the 2 padauk pieces from the laminate neck! I just opened a hole on the headplate before gluing it to the headstock and then made a recess for the trussrod cover.

Nice! It must be a little bit of dust or something disguising it, but it looks like the entire pocket is padauk, rather than just the sides (with the maple in the middle showing on the bottom of the pocket).

Top job man.. the whole build reminds me this, I see similar workmanship in places:
