My Model neck has dots

Here's mine with a Model 4 w/sharks. Lousy pics but you can get an idea of what it looks like.

Now you can compare!

Model 7 neck w/maple fingerboard and reverse headstock, right? I'd say that would look great with the graphic your star body has.

You guys both have some fine stars there.I don't know what to do ,I'm selling the guitar that has the model 7 neck but I may have to keep it,and I also like the way plon star looks with the sharkies ,I guess I'll have to flip a coin. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Yeah I'm kinda leaning that way.I like the way Plon's star looks, also since my Model 4 is already taken apart.Then I'll have a model 4 body for sale or I can put the model 7 neck on the Model 4 and I'll call it the Model 74 or 47 [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

In my opinion, sharkies would go well with the shattered glass graphic.

Thanks, dude! Actually, this is a small world, because both my Star and yours are:

1. San Dimases that
2. have passed through Newc's sinister hands. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
and
3. Both eventually had Charvel Model series necks fitted.

Re: Star Body but which neck??

I put a Danelectro neck on my Star and gave it an EVH paintjob. It required some "fitting", but it turned out great!

It's featured on my website, but unfortunately I'm not allowed to post the link. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I'll try to post some pics a little later. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I do have a Warmoth Fathead Strathead neck..... just sayin, is all [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Star Body but which neck??

As promised ...

The neck is 24-3/4 scale and the body was 25-1/2 scale.
It took some routing and re-shaping, but the guitar plays great, the intonation is dead on, and I have no tuning issues whatsoever.

Just FYI, I'm not a big fan of Danelectro necks, but I wanted to stay true to the replica I was building. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]







Thanks for looking. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
