La Riqueza 23 1/2" scale, fretted, oak neck, poplar fretboard and heel, piezo disc in the oak bridge. I built it with high action and slide in mind. One of my early builds so I dug it out and snapped a few pics, pretty straight forward ol' CBG. It was a dreary, rainy, cold, windy day along the River this morning.

Thanks John! I make all my headstocks between 7/16' to 11/16" depending which side of the bed I wake up on that morning;-) As long as it's hardwood there's plenty of meat there, that's jsut my Maddogish way I guess. I do try my best to make every build I do a little different when I can, kind of they're own personality. I had to use the wife's craft chair for a prop as it was the only thing dry that was close.
Yup. I like Maddog style gits and pics. Action looks just right for fretting or sliding both. To me, the headstock looks a bit slim. Looks like a player.

I am with you on making them each a bit different. Glad that it is strong enough.
