Members larryguitar Posted October 10, 2006 Members Share Posted October 10, 2006 You know, nitro on the body and poly on the neck is a very logical arrangement. Avoids that sticky neck whilst keeping any (real or imagined!) benefit of a thin finish on the body... Big $$, though. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Yes the nitro body and satin poly neck seal makes a lot of sense....and big bucks? $2k for a Custom Shop? I'd be reluctant to get it via shipping, but I have a cousin in Hong Kong who is in shipping and visits Japan pretty regular.....I'll give it some serious consideration. Basically I'm just a sucker for white Strats:love: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry, was it you whose used a few of those paddle head necks from Stewmac? Yessir, it was. Mind you, NOT the Fender shaped and licensed stuff-that's made by Mighty Mite, and I have no experience with it. The paddleheads (I've used rosewood, ebony, maple and, when they used to offer it, flamed maple) have been quite good. Nitro finished and perfectly dry, very nice fretwork (didn't need more than a polish on any of them) and a double-acting truss rod. Although they don't offer a lot of options, I think they stack up quality-wise to Warmoths and Carvins I've used. HTH, Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
