This one is new to me. Lots of available pickup configurations. Nice looking, too.

I'd like to see a full shot of the back of the neck the lamination work looks interesting. Don't recall seeing anything like it. |

The builder site has full back, pretty good pic: http://www.menapiaguitars.com/latest-custom-builds (just click to expand)[/quote] Thanks! Some beautiful wood work! I'm still trying to picture how the neck woods were laminated to produce the swoop in the middle of the neck that goes from the back thru to the fret board. Most of the time the final effect makes it look more complicated than it really is. The smaller swoop at the bottom edge of the head stock is pretty straight forward. The one in the middle has me stumped. |

The one in the middle has me stumped. I'm trying to wrap my head around that, too. It adds a nice touch. But I'd like to know what's going on inside the neck there.

I can only think of a 'misplaced', sandwiched neck scarf joint... Beautiful and painstakingly difficult to get it right |
