Members RaVenCAD Posted November 4, 2011 Members Share Posted November 4, 2011 Holy {censored} I love the one on the right... How stable is olive wood? An oil finish would be beautiful on there.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members boggs Posted November 4, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 4, 2011 Extremely stable. It doesn't need a finish as it is extremely hard and dense and closed grain. I may still use Murdoch's Hard Oil though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members esphil Posted November 4, 2011 Members Share Posted November 4, 2011 Looks awesome man, I have a insane kingwood neck I've had for the past year that I still haven't built a guitar with yet Love the look of the unique necks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members boggs Posted November 4, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 4, 2011 So pistachio is the fingerboard it has a beautiful interesting grain to it? Yes, and it is nearly as hard as ebony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dmc69 Posted November 4, 2011 Members Share Posted November 4, 2011 Wow, these are truly unique! I like how there's even a greenish colour in the wood to the lefty one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tedmich Posted November 4, 2011 Members Share Posted November 4, 2011 nice work with pretty wood, although the light fingerboard wood will grunge up pretty fast (if played)why no straight string path? You like locking nuts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members boggs Posted November 4, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 4, 2011 The pistachio/olivewood one is amazing! Where did you get those? I got the woods from Oregon Wildwoods and talked to Tommy at USA Custom Guitar to have them make the two to my specs from those woods and they happily obliged. Those guys do outstanding work and quite frankly, their fretwork is significantly better than Warmoth's. They are 25" scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You like locking nuts? It won't grunge up at the sapwood as fast as maple because it is significantly more dense. These will take a standard Fender nut. The pistachio is so dense, it feels like ebony. Straight grain is not critical in that sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
