Received a call last night from Mike and it looks like he wasn't feeling the thickness of the Carvin neck.

He wants this to be easier to play and said he could carve me something a bit better. After asking for suggestions I said if he could do a JP7-esque carve I'd be in heaven. Mike said he can and it looks like now this baby is going to have a thinner neck (not Ibby thin, just more like an EBMM and less like the Carvin) than we originally planned!

We also changed the finish to a lighter color because Mike convinced me that there is no reason whatsoever to cover up any of that figure... the top is just too killer!

I'm really GAS'ing for this guitar and I have been thinking about buying a JP7 (more for the playability aspect, since I seem to only dig the older stock bridge pickups) but now it looks like I'll get the craftsmanship of a small luthier AND the playability I was looking for in another guitar without having to buy them both! Win-motherfuckin'-win!

Thanks again for the call last night Mike, you rock man.

P.S. Beware the barbed splinters!
