Custom Neck Build

[nhspike]

This custom neck will have a home on my Flip-Flop Pink Pacer Imperial body I have kicking around.



See the Kramer Forum for a complete step-by step pictoral on the build... very informative!

Looks great!

Thanks Brother!

[Bengal]

Nice looking neck.

Truss Rod at the heel?

Post it here too, spikey!

Wow you where the one that bought it from Divebomb... cool. Tell me how it plays.

[nhspike]

Bengal, thanks! Yes, adjusts at the heal, walnut plug up at the nut, and walnut skunk stripe.

Doc, it's a huge post... better to check out over there --->

El, yep, I couldn't reist. Will do!

I saw the post on the Kramer forum. Great pictures to give the details on making a neck.

Big Al,
I agree... I had no idea it took that much effort.
Very cool post, and a real eye-opener.

Full report to follow, including pics of the finished product...

I'm testing out the Duncan Designed pickups.
Used the second tone knob as an input jack (ALA Pacer Special) since I didn't have another barrel jack at the moment.
Think I may keep it this way, since it's going to be my main axe for quite some time to come.

The DiveBombInc neck is the best neck I've ever played (36 years and counting, for the moment).
EVH asymmetrical back shape, not thick, not thin, thick where you want it, thin where you want it.
Think, comma shape.

I'll let you know about the pickups after I've jammed on a number of rigs... but so far, sounds great.

That looks pretty cool. Are you going to put a decal on?

Thanks!

Nah... unless it's a DiveBombInc decal.

That I'll put on!

Perhaps I'll design one up for him.
