Congratulations! Those are some nice pictures! I told you that you'd love this guitar. The neck on my is so fast and it's got the best action of any of my guitars.. without any fret buzz and you can still bend with ease. I love this guitar. Oh yeah, those Bare Knuckles are incredible on this guitar. I was playing it again last night and had a grin from ear to ear. What a Hell of a guitar (pun intended!). :dude
 
Thanks Eric...am I still having trouble with my photos??? What the problem anyway?
You had everything right on these, you just have to put
at the end of the link. The first one tells the webpage that it should be looking for a link to the photo, and the second one (with a slash at the front of it) tells it that the link is done. It's kind of the equivalent of a capital letter to start a sentence and a period to end it.

You can do it yourself with the links you had (you should try it with your existing post) or you can hit the button that looks like a picture in the editor where you'd type your message. That just puts the
there for you if you provide the link.
 
Very nice looking guitar. :thumbsup

What are the neck dimensions like? What shape/guitar would you compare the neck profile to?

They don't list a neck shape on the spec sheet, but I would guess it's U-shape. Quite similar to my Hot Rod '52 tele. But the action is better than any guitar I have.
 
Hey Rick, your photos are terrific! Especially the detail shots. Want to pop over here and do a little work? ;)

Are the Number 2 and ZeroDot neck profiles the same? My ZeroDot neck definitely feels thinner (flatter?) than my set neck Maton's. Doesn't make it better or worse, just different to play.

The No. 2 (compared to the ZeroDot) has a slightly wider neck (45mm "1-3/4 at the nut vs. 43mm "1-11/16) and is also a couple of mms fatter. The No. 2 is definitely chunkier than my 20 year old American Standard Tele, but I don't have real large hands and it's still easy to play. The profiles are similar (probably best characterized as a "C").
