So Eastwood is now making Travis Bean copies... with "fake" grey painted maple neck

Isn’t it strange? Faking the look of aluminum
My new build! Charlie Christiano-Disco-caster
Second hand body from GuitarBuild UK
Second hand neck from Guy Butterlin, a French luthier: quatersawn maple and ebony fretboard, inox frets.
Mojo Charlie Christian Jetson for neck and Mojo Dual Blade Charlie Christian for bridge = huge note clarity!
CTS pots, Kluson deluxe tuners and Gotoh hardware.
Pickguard is a cheap one from WD Music, in Orange Wildcat, I love it!
Very pleased by the sound and playability (will change the 3 way switch spot though, I did not have a lot of room as pots holes were already drilled… so I will have to drill the body elsewhere)
I’ve seen your Starmaster, but what about my Startocaster?
I made this partcaster with a Talman Yvette Young Signature body, a Squier Contemporary Active Starcaster neck and guard and pickups from a Talman Ichii Signature. Cost me less than 300$ on second hand market. Plays really nice! Slim sparkle green is a great match with the blue sparkle line on the neck!
