Looks good :yes: :rock: Did you add the Charvel logo on there or was it a charvel neck?

Also hows the 59 in the bridge? Never used one in the bridge before

Charvel logo was added by me. The 59 is very PAF-ish so I get a nice R&R tone going. VH tone is no problem.

I've had 59's in the bridge with an older Hamer, and while it's great in the neck I thought it was a bit bright and jangly in the bridge. Not the pickup I would pick for a Charvel style, but not a bad pickup if you like that sort of thing.

Good looking guitar, I'm a sucker for maple boards.
 
Looks great! How are the Musikraft necks? If I'm buying a strat someday, I'll order a reverse headstock neck (maple fb) from Musikraft if they're good. :)

I'm a sucker for maple boards also and the wood on the body is very cool. I wonder why no one does acoustic guitar neck boards in maple.
 
Sweet! If it's like the guitar I built 4 yrs ago, it'll get better as it ages and dries out more.

The neck I have (Medium "C") is very very comfortable. Feels terrific. Well built. Frets were in very good shape when I got it.
 
Man, I keep seeing these gorgeous looking Musikraft guitars. I'd love one in mahogany with a nice dark stain. Hardtail too..!

No offense but personally, I have yet to see a nice uniform wood grain body from Musikraft that I would even consider a transparent or oil finish. I bought many bodies from them and stated that I wanted a nice uniform grain for an oil finish and when I received the bodies, I had to end up painting them. Warmoth is a different story, much nicer wood grains but they don't do the San Dimas style bodies. It looks like a very nice build and if it sounds good, that is great!

To me it's more that they don't match the 2 piece bodies perfectly, but you know what? Who cares! Mine is a 2 piece. It's not matched perfectly, but it sounds killer! Very lively guitar.
 
I'm really impressed with the guitar so far. Musikraft quality is excellent. I have a gloss finish on the body, and the neck has a satin finish to it. I custom ordered the neck because most necks I play are way too thin for me. Jumbo frets are nice and level.
 
The only thing that would really bother me about these guitars is the neck joint/heel. I want some nice upper fret access, but the Charvel design is a bit clunky, no?
