    My Latest Stratocaster Project

    I just put this one together and it turned out so well. It plays like a dream and sounds just as good...

    Custom Built Roasted Maple Neck with Pau Ferro Fretboard

    That neck is beautiful, and the guitar looks great.

    You might want to research the safety tuners, you have them strung incorrectly.

    I think those are locking tuners with a slot across the top that makes them look like safety tuners.

    No inlays in the neck dots?

    I think the lighting in the photos just grays them out, making them look hollow. My CS Strat has MOP inlays, and I love the multi-color affect. Photography can be a challenge, especially in small details. Thanks for clarifying.

    How do you get the neck to look like that?
