So . . . things have been progressing nicely. No major problems as such, but many opportunities to
learn. We have given a lot of attention to specs and detail which is paying off in the quality of the product. Interestingly, we had a plan to build at least two necks and two bodies each, thinking that we would each have one that would evolve as the
keeper, and one would become the
also ran. To date (and I repeat "to date"), all four are keepers.This project has gone well!
I have started to fret my yellow birch neck. Yellow birch is not a traditional neck-wood for fender, but none the less, I used it for one, and it is working out extremely well. As near as I been able to glean from the fonte of all knowledge (Google) it is tradition, and not characteristics that have led Fender to use maple over yellow birch. Until I discover a reason to rate yellow birch as inferior for this purpose, I will give it equal footing with maple.
