Yup, Whoever made this neck really knew their stuff.
Will be starting a separate thread that I hope will help determine who.

this guitar makes me want a 12 which is a tough sell usually!
I used to be cool, now I just complain about prices.

I'll bet you that's a true vintage neck, but with a maple fretboard swapped on...
Or maybe, it's one of those holy-grail-level maple-board vintage ones?
Eager to find out more!
