It's pretty well known that Birdseye is just asking for trouble. Ask John Suhr.

Body is from warmoth.. Ordered it a few years ago. Been swapping necks on this guitar about every year.. Started with a warmoth neck and didnt like it and was swapping my musikraft neck between my Franky replica and this warmoth body. Placed a order last year for another musikraft neck dedicated for this body and that was a disaster. Long story short they botched 2 necks in a row so I returned them and placed an order with USACG. They did a great job on this neck.
Unfortunately can't play the guitar until some floyd nut shims come in the mail. They apparently leave the nut shelf lower than my musikraft neck. Looks like they just let the neck wood be the shelf rather than routing away the fingerboard a depth. Probably easier to manufacture this way

Let us know what you think when you can actually play it. USACG offers a Superwide neck (1-7/8" width @ nut) that I think is a good idea, theoretically. I'd like to know what you think of the build quality.

I have several birdseye neck guitars and they are great. EBMM Axis, early Charvels, wolfgangs etc have birdseye and have no issues. Nothing better than a dirty birdseye neck. It screams for you to play it

Let us know what you think of the quality. It must have been a reasonable build time. Can you tell us what the cost was? I'd love that neck with a reverse headstock for a star I'm putting together. Thank you

Awesome looking neck! I have a roasted maple neck on the way myself, can't wait to get it set up on the body I have here. Tell us how it goes!
