I’ve sworn off maple necks

Oh, No! Everyone here wants exactly the same specs right from the get go, don't they?
Well, that explains it! I’m a dog personI’m feelin’ kinda relieved that I ordered that WL from Jack last week; since there isn’t a prayer in hell I can participate in this, I can just grab a cold one and watch the action from the cheap seats.
This is gonna be like herding cats.
You’re a far better man than I, Bill.
Now back to being serious...Hearding cats did come to mind...
Thanks Ruger. I wanted to prompt ideas, not cause you any grief. Apologies if my posts came off that way.Wood library runs are done 10 at a time. But they can be repeated.
As for offering lots of options, the idea of a ‘forum guitar’ is that there would be very few differences from one to the next.
It needs to be a very small selection of colors and almost no variation in other specs or it is meaningless. Getting a meaningful segment of the forum to agree on the specs will be the hard part.
Understood! That second time typing it was meant to be a joke. Sorry, my humor doesn’t always translate well outside of my head.To get a 594 trem, you will have to go PS. That option is NOT on the WL menu.
Kindly remember that we did everything you are doing now. We started with an open book -- no limits -- lots of discussions -- lots of polls -- we broke down every possible detail and discussed it until we were blue in the face. The FG22 Rev 4 is where we landed. Ultimately, it was the limited nature of that guitar that created the stir we needed to get at least 35 people to commit to one particular spec (that was the target number). No other attempt with an unlimited quantity even came close to 35 guitars - even after the many months of trying and many polls. I think the previous max was just shy of 20 people.Hans went down that road (with good intention). It didn't work.
If it is only a WL run that anyone can copy, I’m out. There needs to be one thing, however small, that isn’t offered to people in future builds.
Even with really divergent interests, I’m still willing to try to get a good player’s guitar specced out. That WILL be heralding cats, but that really isn’t the hard part.
The hard part is finding the unique ‘secret sauce’ that will make it ‘The Forum Guitar’ and not just another WL run that a lot of forum members bought. What would be the point?
the special thing should be ‘thumb’ fret markers or a vestigial ‘skunk stripe’ up the back of the neck.
