Looking for a post about a particular CS piece...

[TommyD]

I tried searching for over an hour and never found it,but I'm looking for a post about someone's CS order.

This was a blacked out Strathead Dinky with abalone outlined sharkfins,and a painted neck. Thanks,Tommy.

Sounds a lot like mine, except neck thru and not painted.

BTW, it is a proper spec'd 22 fret 80's Dinky body profile and handles like it, it really doesn't handle like a Soloist... holding it I get all my harmonics exactly like I would with my other dinky strathead because of the body/neck/trem placement. It's really the most perfect guitar for me I've ever owned... I can't pick anything that I like the best. I can only nitpick about really minor things. Like... I kinda wish I had got it with abalone dots right now. But then maybe next week I will wish I kept it as I originally ordered it with a blank ebony board. Then I'll want my outlined sharkfins back. That was my last 'adjustment' about 6 months after I already confirmed my work order. I'm happy with them.

Maybe I might have ordered locking Schaller tuners and an LSR nut like my Fender Deluxe if I realized I liked it when I placed the order, because I really dig that setup, but that's another non-issue.

I guess I really like the jack placement, right under the rear strap button, pointing upwards. It's somewhere between a standard and speed neck. I guess it's shaped more like a slightly thicker Dinky neck. Maybe I'd like .5mm shaved, but not a whole lot. The shelf on the headstock face and volute are really deep. More than typical Fenders or CJs.

Are those ebony stripes on the neck?

Wow, Xenophobe, that's one GREAT guitar you've got there! Congrats!

Yeah.

If I ask for a SL2H Soloist with that type of neck construction, would it be only custom select or master built?

This is full on masterbuild. I'm not even sure if you can get 3 piece necks with Custom Select. I'm not sure, you could always ask a dealer.

Custom select neck type for soloist is Neck thru, scarf joint only. Quarter sawn maple or mahogany.

Thanks

Always dug this one! I remember the trouble you went through with the logo. One of my all time favorites.
