    Thanks a lot for watching – I can see this video is really interesting to many of you, and I truly appreciate it! 😊<br><br>What do you prefer on a Strat – vintage 7.25 radius or something flatter like 9.5 or compound?<br><br>I’m curious what you play and why 👇

    That neck is beautiful now. The custom shop doesn&apos;t come anywhere that level. It&apos;s flawless!

    You turned that neck into a work of art!

    Absolutely brilliant and I love the text over commentary option as it cuts out any unneccessary distraction. The fret crowning and nut work were outstanding, true craftsmanship, check out 4.26 where the poor lacquer finish can be seen on the headstock and compare with the polish finish that it ends up with. The best and most satisfying YT I&apos;ve seen this year. Looking to do my maple neck MIA Standard shortly, so this will help big time.

    Your nut work is 2nd to none. &nbsp;I&apos;ve tried to mimic your work, but I can tell it&apos;s hours upon hours of that work to get as skilled as you are.

    I love the LSR roller nut.

  • @Temeraire306 · 6 months ago

    That is one of the best cut bone nuts I&apos;ve ever seen. I can only imagine the time you&apos;ve invested to really hone your skills.

    Wish you guys would leave your text commentary on the screen just a little longer for us slow readers... I hate having to backup every time...<br>Great job on the repair

    Thank you for this.<br><br>Many people believe Fenders from that era are crap, but as a guy who grew up in the 70s, they have a special place in my heart.<br><br>My Les Paul is a 73 model and I built my wife&apos;s partscaster with a 70s body and electronics with a Squire neck.

    Very nice Work. That nut install at the beginning was a crime against humanity.

    Bravo !!!<br>Si j&apos;avais été le Client, j&apos;aurais demandé de refaire la caisse (the body) entièrement... et là j&apos;aurais eu une magnifique Stratocaster. <br>All my Best <br><br>Phil from Dunkirk
