Hi guys and girls,
Well,I got going on this neck finally. It's a 5 piece mahogany/bubinga for my Grand Concert guitar.
Here's a few pics:

Glued up and cut out

Seconded, that headplate's Gaaaaawwwwwgeous & that's without finish. I'm going to have to wear shades when it's got a coating of jam on it.

Very cool Dave. Is the headstock scarf jointed or is it a one piece neck?

It's a solid chunk of mahogany-no scarf.

Kim-I wish I had more like this one, like a couple hundred to pick through!
Thanks everyone

Looks great Dave, as per your usual.
I think the Bubinga is a fine match for the rosewood!

Steve
There are some great woods, down under!

Thanks Steve.
And I appreciate the tips on bending the Waterfall Bubinga.
You saved me from a lot more grief on these bindings !
