They look great - but very few people ordered them. Usually framing veneers (or laminates like here) are on older instruments because the end of the body chipped out in shaping. Never say "oops" - say "custom"

Two extra laminates, (purpleheart in this case I think) on either side of the neck beam through the body. They appear to "frame" the maple neck. I think they are so classy, even if they were fixing a mistake.


Maybe because I've had to creatively fix so many oopsie moments in my shop...?
