I must have just about devoured every guitar build video on KZitem but, Brother, yours was one of the most enjoyable. I ain't going to give you a hard time for getting a prefab neck.

Making necks is like building chairs. Just about any idiot can make something you can sit on, but to make a functional chair that fits the body like a glove takes years of practice. For your first build, it's better to go with a prefab neck. It removes so many variables that could frustrate a first-time builder. Jeff it's obvious to me that you have the skills necessary to build your own necks - hell, to build your own guitars completely from scratch, if you want to. You gotta get your feet wet somehow. This video was an entertaining first step, and hopefully you'll get into carving your own necks and discovering the subtle geometry that separates a "playable" neck from a truly great one (you're a guitar player too, so you know what I mean). Kudos on an awesome video.
