Sold 2 of my old ESPs to fund it. I had too many redundant super strats

is the neck like a ....er, baseball...uh i mean cricket bat?
Neck is actually very nicely proportioned. Slimmer than my les Paul anyway which is like a D. This is basically a large C.
mods may be sand the back of the neck as I don't like oiled nitro neck feels (can't wait 50 years for it to happen naturally)
wish it had jumbo frets, but I think that would change the tone so will just have to make do
The more I think about it the more I agree with you guys and semi wish I got a heavy-relic. Where the necks are worn (satin finished) sanded at the back, and have the wonderful greyish marks on the fretboard from the pretend wear
in the store I bought mine They have a 1954 tele in the window (real one) which you guys would love, just prefect and medium relic, only problem is its £19,509 GBP hah.
Definitely not dogging yours, I would take that in a heart beat! Its still pretty rad to have such a nice neck on it. And aesthetically from a color stance, i love everything about that. Usually the blondes and the maple necks end up dangerously the same color on the higher end models, which for some weird reason really annoys me. i like the lighter, aged blonde look with an ambered neck on it. that always looks killer. I'm looking into picking up a MIM road worn soon for that reason, basically the same aesthetic going on as something like this vs say an, a 52 avri that usually has a brand new looking neck or suffers from the whole color bleeding i mentioned earlier.. cant justify or afford payin' custom prices though. wife would not be happy.
Love the flame on the neck. How much did this set you back?
