mc2 2,548 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) Love the new neck! When you posted the first shot of it on the grey body my first thought was "HUH?!?!" I did a web search to make sure there wasn't a sudden world shortage of day-glo paint 😀😀 is the new neck a direct spec copy of a Cali or some subtle changes?

There are some almost imperceptible but significant changes - head stock is a little different, stainless jumbo frets, slightly different radius, and sn oil finish.

diablo175 8,007 Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) Hated doing it after putting it all together (and it played/sounded REALLY f-ing great) but disassembled the Project Cali ( now to be referred to as the HA Cali ) and sent the body down to BC Guitars for finishing. This is the mock up they sent me based on my design. I'm looking forward to having this back in the herd! Edited June 14, 2016 by diablo175 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

velorush 5,580 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Sorry, it was a joke. His birth name is Ha'Sean Treshon Clinton-Dix, but pretty much everyone knows him as "Ha Ha." He played for Alabama, was the Packers' first-round draft pick in 2014 and is a terror to pretty much any opposing team's offense. Fun to watch! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

diablo175 8,007 Posted June 19, 2016 Author Share Posted June 19, 2016 Pick up swap time! The Godzilla Cali's EMGs are coming out in favor of some passives. The SD Alt 8 in my Charvel CS Star is a tad too hot and might do well in the G-Cali with a 250K. The erstwhile Alt 8 in the Charvel will be replaced by a SD Perpetual Burn and remain on a 500K pot.

scottcald 3,057 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) That's cool. I hope you have the time/patience to paint the words over the pickups and the black Floyd that'll go in there. Oh, and over the trem cavity cover. Edited June 23, 2016 by scottcald Added over trem cover Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bought Kurtsstuff's Cali Std. back in Dec (?) and spec-ed the neck in Feb. The refinish was sent out a week ago or so. Once I get it it set up, it'll have been 6 months and change.

If I was doing that, it'd be 2019 before it got finished 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
