Wow - great finish; congrats! That neck's a beautiful piece of Pau Ferro.

Thank you! Yeah, the the Pau Ferro looks even better in person. It's like a mixture of dark and milk chocolate colors and when in the sunlight, it takes on a faint red hue mixed in with the brown, kinda like what manzanita looks like. The feel is super smooth and slick, more akin to Ebony than Rosewood if I were to compare. Couple that with Suhr's buttery satin finish and impeccable SS frets, it makes for very satisfying playing!
