Muahahaha

It seemed that it either got annoying or no one cared about my incessant nagging in regards to roasted maple PDNs or neck swaps. So when I found a used Gold Roller with a roasted maple neck at a local shop, I had to see if the necks would successfully swap.

View attachment 29835 View attachment 29836

They are both super snug fits.

The Gold Roller is only about 3/5ths paid for, but here are the plans:
Swap necks so that the gold roller has the chocolate neck while my Silhouette has the roasted maple neck.
Swap tuners so that the gold n chocolate guitar has the gold tuners.
Swap out black for white pick guard and middle pickup cover on the silhouette..
Sand down the finish off of the back of the roasted maple BFR neck.

I will follow up with more pictures after I finish paying off the Gold Roller (only $1600!!!! and it is fracking mint as frack!!!). I don't have good pics of the Gold Roller BFR neck, but the birds eye is gorgeous. They are gonna be beautiful. The all white silhouette with the roasted maple neck has been my dream guitar for about 3 years now. The golden tootsie roll is an unexpected bonus.



Shout to A.J. for getting me the necessary spec information on the Gold Roller.



I am at the point where I can no longer really afford any new gear, so I told myself that I have to sell gear I can't justify keeping for gear I can't justify buying :p

Hey buddy - you're ALL about the neck swaps aren't you?

By the way, if you're thinning the herd... I'd be interested in picking up that Y2D Morse I swapped you a little over a year ago for a Neptune Blue Morse. Cash in hand and I'm only a couple hours away! :)

Peee-eeete! This was supposed to be MY thread!

That is absolutely gorgeous. That combination is perfect. It looks filthy and swampy, like you should wash your hands before touching your eyes. What does the other guitar look like?

Sorry, just trying to push you towards completion a bit faster :D

Can't wait to see what your white Silo looks like with the roasted neck, should be a bomb!
