Crazy. So, is it a little neck heavy or does it balance well?
I was gonna guess rosewood, but it looked a little too light colored in the photo. I thought it might be something a bit more uncommon. Is it actually that light looking or is that a trick of the camera? How is it finished?

the whole guitar is a little darker than the photos. i hate iphone cameras sigh, sorry! the neck isnt any heavier than my other start necks, but i had Steve use the neck dimensions off my favorite guitar to make this neck so its about as heavy as im used to! took about 6 weeks after setting it up and going over specs to get a fabulos guitar! i recommend Benford guitars! couldnt be any happier!!!!

The neck is has no finish. The rosewood feels so freaking smooth!

. Thankyou! I love the pick guard too! Reminds me of how Jeff beck cut his pick guards in the 70s. It's the pick guard shape Steve uses on the S series.

It's kinda tgpish but some of the strat legends I love do this to their own strats and stated the reason was for a more natural resonance, it's kinda like having a sound hole pointed towards you. I started doing it for easy trem access cause I float mine and i noticed it dose make it louder not plugged in, but the sound over an amp is minimal and hard to detect. Just something I like to do to get closer to the "toan" in my head! So I asked steve to skip the back plate and not even make screw holes, I don't ever keep them on anyways.
