Unfinished Neck

The unfinished hard Maple neck has a long way to go. The nut needed to be hand shaped to fit properly. The neck was a perfect blend of a vintage look and modern features (12" raidus and jumbo frets). The fret ends were very harsh, so laid a couple of layers of tape and each side of the neck and the finished the frets by hand filing them, and then using a soft rubber block with varying grads of sandpaper to really round and polish the fret ends.
