Hi, I just finished wiring up another custom Plus with an Ultra setup. These pictures were taken in haste in my guitar work shop, so they are not the quality I usually put out on the web. This guitar is mint. One problem...... :idea: Which way to go on necks? Please give me your thoughts... I have two same year matching necks—one Maple, one Rosewood. Which do you think looks the best on a Black on Black :?: :?:

I'm personally not a fan of all black with Maple. My vote is for Rosewood with this body.

Im liking the maple. I think the rosewood makes the overall look dark :)

It's all about balance :)

Maple. The Rosewood is nice, but with an all black guitar, it just doesn't offer enough contrast to the body for me. I think that the maple has a much 'classier' look against that black body and pick guard.

Very nice guitar by the way!
