A nice bunch of pictures to look at and see how you progress, Aaron. It looks so easy but it's not! Looking swell so far

thanks everyone. i'm really happy with it so far, although it does seem a bit heavy. i'm now wondering should i make the neck out of mahogany or use the neck i already started on. i'm petty sure i want to use a rosewood fingerboard now. this maple finger board is great, but i'm wondering if i use too much maple maybe it'll sound too trebly. what do you guys think?

I doubt treble would be a concern. With high output singles or humbuckers, I don't think there's enough treble in the signal to cause issues.

Aesthetically, a mahogany/rosewood neck would keep with the L.P. vibe. Also, the body has so much flame to it that with a flame-y neck the player might catch on fire!

lol mel. i just wonder if i cut too much of the bass tone by hollowing out the mahagony, but you're probably right mel.
