That and its stiffness should mean a very stable neck.
Yeah, I chose ebony because of its stiffness and durability. It's a good choice on one piece construction necks. It's been a year or more since I built a neck from scratch and I made a couple minor errors. I forgot to plane the bottom of the board down a little before installation and it was too thick. Duh. So, I had to radius sand it down a bit. That took a few hours! I also had to add a piece to the top of the headstock cuz the TB pattern is so long and the first glue job didn't hold, so I reinstalled that with two dowels to hold it together. A pain, but now its solid as a rock.
The douchebag PO of the body drilled some 5/8" holes under the pick guard area to lighten the body. A dumbass idea on a body that doesn't weigh that much to begin with! I filled several of them with dowels because I'm putting in a second pup rout for later, just in case I want to move the pup up toward the neck down the road. Or even add a second one if I want!
I'll drill the tuner holes today and probably will install the neck on the body today or tomorrow. It'll be ready for finishing soon!
It's always something!!!!
