My 2 cents

I like your original bass display background MUCH better. It's a signature look and the pics come off far more professionally. In any case, beautiful basses, as always. :)

Yes, I went through all the minor tweaks to little avail, finally got the new board and considered a neck reset, but think the expense-bass ratio for that might be overkill on this bass.

Question, will the neck graft become the main structure of the broken up scroll now? It seems amazing that this thing would stay together.
