I'm leaning toward a white one.  Maybe with black binding for a tuxedo look!

The neck is shaping up.  Nice flame/mahogany combo with a birdseye fret board.  Looking good!

Well, my basement is climate controlled after all!

My shed is climate controlled...! (bl**dy cold, wet climate controlled...!!!)  ;D

Beautiful fret board, btw, but 19 frets... is that standard for the breed...?

Don't know about the frets really, it's just what I wanted.  Typical Fender only has 19 or 20.  I don't play beyond 19 anyway!!!  ;)

I just finished routing the binding channels last night and decided to use a rosewood fret board with thumbnail inlays (did those too last night).  I'll post some pics tonight.  Thanks for asking!

Yeah, I really like the look.  Don't know why I didn't think of it sooner!

Thanks!  I'm also considering white pearloid binding to match the pickguard.  I think that would look pretty cool.
