Tools about 12 weeks, but it’s really nice. I’m building a Charvel Nitro Aged series clone. 4A Roasted Birdseye with aged oil. Cream dots brass side dots. I have a KNE body at MJT getting an aged graffiti yellow treatment like the bottom photo, but with a little less aging

Going for something like this

That looks awesome! :rock:

Might be hard to really tell until built and set up but how does the Pro Mod C 79/85 feel? And why 21 frets?

the profile feels pretty damn close to a pro mod. It feels really good.
21 frets because that what the nitro series used and most of the pre prod.

Thanks for posting these specs - I've been meaning to order a neck just like this but I keep going down the rabbit holes of specs and wind up losing where I was at and not ordering it :lol: :LOL:

You have excellent taste in gear sir !

I'm with you dude, his eyes see what my eyes see gear wise for sure.

I'm glad I went with roasted maple on my Chubtone build. Freaking looks killer! I think roasted maple is going to gain momentum and become popular on a lot of guitars. I remember the first roasted maple Charvel I saw I was like "WTF is that????". Looks badass.

Oh man, that's awesome! I didn't even realize that. Nice extra bonus.

Years ago, I probably wouldn't have been a fan of roasted maple necks but lately I've been really interested. I didn't go with the highest birdseye maple on my Chubtone because with it being roasted, I didn't think it would stand out as much.

Any high frets?

They look pretty good but won’t know for sure until I get it together.

A quick check with a fret rocker will tell you what you’re up against

Man that looks bad ass. The aged oil looks really good on birdseye. I had a 4A Birdseye Tele neck made years ago by Musikraft and even though the guitar is long gone, it's still a neck I think about all the time. The guys at Musikraft were also very cool to deal with, I called them up and yakked the guys ear off for such a long time before I ordered. If I ever need a neck, they're my go-to.
