Sp8ctre and RVA's Guitar Adventure

[Sp8ctre]

So, um, that's good right?!

Sp8ctre, I hope you like a Gibson '60s profile!

I can play them all at the same level of mediocrity...

Do you want that guitar with an "RVA taper"?

Remember, the marketing plan was my idea!

 

[RVA]

As I approach the target, it is pretty clear that the FB had more than one issue. It appears it was high in the upper portion on the high E side.

OK, will you be my agent?

 

[RVA]

Houston, we have contact!

TR fully tightened

At the 8th fret

Looking good! What position in the truss rod in? Do we (you) still have to go further so it works for future adjustments?

This is with the TR full straight, and the neck is fully straight, as it should be since it is a single action rod.

 

[RVA]

This neck is viable and ready for frets!

And let's not forget the side benefits...a bag of genuine Sp8ctre rosewood neck dust!

One bonus is the fret wire will now be gold and match all the hardware!

Gold Frets? Cool, that should make for one unique looking guitar...

They are EVO frets for those allergic to nickle. They leave more brass and hence the gold appearance. They are actually harder that the nickle variety.

people are allergic to nickle ?? Ill be damned--- learn something new every day.
