Well, I've already been disabused of the notion of making a through neck. Supposedly they are extremely prone to twisting and warp. I just came from my local guitar shop where I was shown one. Made in 5 pieces with opposing grains.

Basically, my whole plan is shot on my friends advice. :rolleyes: I'm now looking at a mahogony body, maple neck & ebony fretboard in either glue-in or bolt-on.
