Some of you have expressed interest in these things.My only finished body/neck experience here is with Carvin and Warmoth,who make excellent parts(and were originally called "Boogie" bodies,employed a young Wayne Charvel,and rumor has it made Eddie Van Halen his first "custom" body.A bit of celebrity gossip fer ye).
Sorry if some of this is redundant.

www.novaxguitars.com look in "novax nex"-overpriced really good idea
