i like the first one

maybe water down some stain and maybe apply sparingly to maybe match the color maybe

ebonys not for me though, i like grain n such

Its not as orange in person it will turn darker with some oil and time

What about the neck maple or walnut the back is alder

Its been laying around for years.I'm gonna finish this thing as soon as I can figure out how to route the binding channel and cut nut slots without spending any money .

yeah, if the color is lighter i would go for it

looks like a real purty board

also i would say match the neck to the body for the reverse side, walnut sure makes a nice neck but with the alder body it might look wonky... on the other hand the maple headstock looks wonky too...

solution: walnut head stock overlay on maple neck. matchymatchy

there

anyway you choose it should be awesome

I started this thread so you guys would shame me into finishing it.

no,

it needs smaller F-holes, baritone scale, left handed, 8 string, SS/Tube hybrid switch, another neck, and bigger F-holes

best to take it all apart and start again tomorrow...

I thought about making A- holes on it

The fret boards don't usually cause too much of a problem if the grain is not absolutely straight.

But I have seen maple backed necks do some crazy twisting over the years.

I am a fan of quarter sawn wood for necks but most of the times I can't afford it.

I have an old Heartfield Fender Talon that has a twisted neck.
Never bad enough to do anything about but I cringe whenever I look down that neck.

The fingerboard s are pretty much QS the maple is riftsawn. walnut is very stable
