Looks great! How wide is the nut? I might have stuck with electric longer if I could have found one with a wide nut.

I asked for 1 13/16ths. This Bounsall is a PERFECT transition from acoustic to electric. Playing through a 65 Fender Princeton Reverb Tweed.

Very nice and congrats!

I prefer wider necks on my electrics also. I have three Strats, two Teles, and a Jazzmaster, all with Warmoth necks with 1 3/4th nut widths. I'd prefer what you have at 1 13/16ths, but those would have been a lot more expensive and for electrics I can manage with the slightly more narrow neck.

Default 1 13/16ths string spacing

With the US vs Canadian exchange rate, a custom Bounsall ( or other Canadian made guitar ) is dirt cheap. Exceptional build quality and crazy good sound.

I told Andy that I wanted my electric to match perfectly the neck profile of my Ken Miller GC ( acoustic ). Sent him measurements and description. He nailed it. What a comfortable way to play electric guitar.
