Brandoni swamp ash body. I got as far as filling in most the grains, nailing support for a spray can relic paint job, then I wussed out of the spray as winter set in. It's been living on top of a book shelf for about 20 years. It is not been reliced.

MightyMite Fender licenced neck of about the same age. Marked out drill holes but I got scared of potentially drilling through the fretboard. I know about the tape in drill bit trick, but I got a bit over zealous and wanted it all dead straight, and as I don't have a drill press, the project got quite literally shelved. The fretboard is LOVELY but the truss rod adjustment is not bang in the middle at the headstock end by the nut. The truss rod does work though.

£120 for the two together.

    22 frets. Will get pics up but am a bit swamped - pun not intended.

    The body is 3-piece and not bookmatched.

    Sorry all, here are the photos:

    Neck:

    Body

    Turns out there is some minor dinging in the upper horn, but I have tried to show them in the photos best as I can.

    According to my bathroom scales the body weights 1.6kg. I think that is optimistic, but it is fairly light.

    Dibs has been called on the neck, but the body is 100 percent available still.

    I was hoping for them to go together, but I will split them evenly, £60 plus UK postage.

    Fretboard radius update, definitely LESS than a 12'', but hard to say if it's 9.5'' or 10''.
