but they can usually be made reasonably playable with a bit of work... unless the frets are in the wrong place

Useful, thanks chaps. I never thought I'd make something to embarrass a prepro Charvel, just thought it'd be an interesting mini project but it'd be exceptionally irritating to put in hours of work only to find the soppy gets had sawn the fret slots wrong. It never even occurred to me, I just assumed they'd be bashing these things out by the thousand on CNC.
Ah well - back to the drawing board. Quite literally - I've got a lovely block of rock maple and a very tasty slab of bird's eye for a fretboard. I managed to knock out a Strat body from a lump of southern Swamp Ash that I'm very pleased with. The neck is something else altogether though. I suppose the worst that happens is I ruin a plank of wood
the issue was one neck went S shaped sort of bent beyond repair and the rosewood came away on the Tele due to lack of glue.
i tend for partscasters to use the Northwest guitar one and they have all been solid a little work to get that played in feel and nobody has complained and my V shaped is excellent
Nice shallow D profile and no need for any fret dressing etc straight out of the box.
