Special thanks to Marty Bell for the Honeyburst. He was not crazy about doing a trans finish on Basswood, but I insisted!:ROTF: He said.....OK!
Thanks to Budman68, Dave, for the neat anodized back cover plate and Jack plate. Dave rocks! I'll probably change the neck plate to a anodized black brushed aluminum one to match the other black hardware. They are really cool.
This one is a real pleasure to play. Action is 0.009" at the 7th fret. I had a Evo 2 in the bridge and it sounded like an ice pick to my ears. I had to back the RS Tone pot way back to tone the highs down. The newly installed Breed Pup is very well balanced and has great tone across the spectrum.
What to do next?:ROTF:

There's a disclaimer though, it took almost 3 month's and 3 necks later before they got it right. Jim finally had to build the 3rd one himself. A little problem with following order sheets and no QC. At least the person that ships parts can inspect the part and compare it with the order sheet. Sheese! Complain about J/C on QC issue's, my experience with Musikraft is 50% success. For every body and neck they have made for me, I reject at least one. They do very good work if they follow the damn'd order sheet. At least read the thing!
