Wow, got my maple/walnut lamiated neck from John today. It is INCREDIBLE! Surely won't be the last one I buy. Do youself a favor and try one--mines perfect.
Thanks John!

I'm glad somebody started this thread, or I would have had to do it. Got my two in the mail today as well. "Wow" is about all I was able to say for several minutes. One thing is certain, I found my neck source.

Now, about those fretboards John...

Thanks, guys! If you're happy, I'm happy!   

It's going to be a little while until I offer the fingerboards (couple weeks maybe), Bill. I had originally planned on indexing the necks to receive them, but the time-eating monster got me.John Watkins38927.3737037037

John Does really great work with the necks...I can vouch for that, and I belive his new set-up offers even more accuracy than his last CNC so that rocks too! He has been making necks for me for a while now, and they are awesome..

Well, when you're ready - especially on the indexed fingerboard part - I'm ready. In the meantime, these necks are genuinely impressive. Great work.
