I meant behind the headstock and the fretboard area.

Meh...it was a moment of weakness. I can't pretend my hands are nimble enough to warrant a thinner neck...go with the original plan.

Steven - Yes I see what you mean now. Although the 3 piece neck is more for functionality over aesthetics, the way they made the neck for my Jr was a thing of beauty in itself. It looks as if the grain runs in one direction for the two outer pieces and the opposite direction for the centre piece. The neck has a lot of 'movement' in the wood.

Jon: okay, i'm glad we got that sorted out! 
BTW, in your lefty Junior (as in all of our 3-piece necks) the grain does indeed run in opposite directions (which adds strength, stiffness, stability and SUSTAIN...)

strange that a 3piece neck has more sustain than a 1piece.

Its got something to do with "focusing" the vibrations...
In tests with our spectrum analyzer , we noticed that the sustain on a 3-piece was one full second longer, than the sustain on a 1-piece neck (on two otherwise identical guitars...)
We couldnt attribute it to anything else except the neck construction!

Did you swap the necks around to see if the longer sustain followed the laminated neck?

not easy to do ( they were set-neck guitars...)

i am freaked by those pictures of the cat standing up, no doubt taken in split second photography when teasing the cat, but goddamn, STRANGE!

well, Susik's breed is actually "Devon Rex", but after the first weekend he spent visiting my wife's parents, my father-in-law dubbed him the "Demon Rex" Susik's idea of fun is to leap six feet in the air and bring down a bird to devour...

Found out today that we are WAITING on Mr. Shamray to bring us MAHOGANY for the body! Everything else is roughed out, but your guitar (among others) is ON HOLD till we get the mahogany we need.
I've been waiting to make a trip to the wood distributor with him since last wednesday (i want to go look at some ebony and 'other nice stuff' they have recently obtained) but he has been putting me off every day. Its a LONG DRIVE (about 4 hours!) so understandably its not easy for him to fit it into his schedule.
Rigt now I'm on standby for a trip out there tommorrow morning - actually he said he would call me tonight about that - so its somewhat doubtful now (since its after midnite). I will have to call HIM in the morning and see if he forgot about me...

That last pics says it all really, doesn't it? I really have to start thinking about what finish to have on it. I think I said cherry, but cherry it terrible for hiding flame...well it is on my gibson 335...maybe a natural finish, or see through tobacco burst? Input from anyone is very welcome. The power drill worries me 
. I think the crafter must have several projects cos its moving quite slowly. But its all good.

I'm mostly with lucian, but I'd add some color, dark red (like the dark blue on the Tanswell).

How bout a faded burst? That would show more figure.

Тема: Re: CS 0336 - Shamray Custom Shop ‘LEFTY-336 ” for Jon Pinson (England)
Yes, i would second Luke's suggestion... remember how CS-0074 looked BEFORE the purple went on? Something like that would be nice...
