Tips/advice for first time Private Stock order?

[flatfeed611]

I will order a PS sometime in the near future and would appreciate advice from seasoned PS owners. Things that tend to be overlooked that may have a positive impact (from either a tonal, playability or aesthetic standpoint) to the end product.

I just have a second hand Private Stock, but IMHO rosewood necks are amazing.

I don't have a PS, but I do have 2 guitars with rosewood necks. They're awesome.

I’d kind of like to consolidate these two threads.

Rosewood necks are awesome, but they are a bit specialized. That said, there are days I believe that Viola could be the last electric in the house one day: mahogany, maple, Brazilian.

If you tell us what you’re thinking so far regarding model, woods, features, sounds and other aesthetics, maybe we can make some suggestions based on that. There are so many possibilities, it will be very difficult to just make a list of good options. Also, depending on what you are looking for, some of the options may not work too well.
