    You know watching you bring the guitars to near perfection is great to watch but watching you rock the guitar is a sheer pleasure. You inspire me to play the guitar but you are unmatched at my house. You are so talented my friend so talented.

      Nice. Thank you for the information. I used a Tele body from guitar fetish a couple of years ago, and i built an amazing Tele partcaster. I had a high dollar roasted maple neck custom built by Musikcraft for it. Then i had some pickup customs built by Odezza handwound pickups out of Kansas.
      Man, what an amazing guitar it turned out to be.
      The neck is quarter sawn and has stainless steel frets. I had a special V neck shape. The frets are tall, narrow frets.
      Lot of money in it, but i enjoyed the project. I recently acquired a Peavey patriot guitar with the ferite pickups. I reworked it, and it came out nice. It is a 24 3/4 scale. Those Ferite pickups sound good.
      Hey man, i hope you have a good day.

    Hey J, so all the graphite nuts I use all have a dull or satin like finish, No gloss. They also have a super slick feel when cutting them., so me thinks that is a plastic nut. Could be it slipped past QC or your guy may be mid informed.
    That said, sounds like he is willing to work with his customers, and maybe you’re gonna get a Whole Bunch of cool guitars to review..
    And those pups are really great sounding!

I bought them through Musi when they went out of stock in Canada... Got them at a great price. 300$ all set up and ready to gig, or 250$ as is in box. No taxes of course, only shipping would be extra 😉.
