    It occurs to me that one of the plank guitars I am selling bears some relation to the Soloway Swan of old, and might be of interest to one of you who enjoys a longer scale and wider neck.

    I have two very lovely longer-scale necks, and just put together a guitar with one of them. These necks were custom-built by acclaimed Polish luthier Marek Witkowski @15-20 years ago for a project involving a dozen or so guitars with various scale lengths and unusual hardware. The necks I have were never used - they are true "new-old-stock". One is all-maple with a tele headstock, the other (below) is maple/rosewood with a strat headstock.

    The neck was made with Canadian rock maple, a thick Madagascar rosewood slab board, abalone dots, 6105-sized medium frets, bone nut, Fender-style C shape, satin finish; truss rod adjustment at the headstock, and Sperzel staggered tuners.

    Some specs:
    -Scale length: 26 1/2" - the old Soloway Swan has a 27" scale length;
    -Nut width: @1.76" | 1 97/128" | 44.71mm; - the old Soloway Swan is 1.8125" | 1 13/16";

    -Neck depth at 1st fret: @.80" | @20.32mm | @51/64";
    -Neck Depth depth at 12th fret: @.88" | @22.55mm | @57/64";


    -Total weight: 6.825 lbs.;

    Perhaps someone wants the guitar? The body of the guitar can be configured with one or two humbuckers, singlecoil pickups, P-90s, Filtertrons, Dearmonds, or even CC pickups. It's currently configured as a standard stratocaster, with three single-coil pickups.

    -Body: H-S-H light mahogany, so various pickup combinations are possible;
    -Colour: Aztec Gold;
    -Bridge: High quality chromed steel base, block saddles, standard width;
    -Pickups: Texas Special clones;

    -Hardware finish: chrome/satin aluminum.
    Ships in a new Fender gig-bag.

    I'd be happy to re-configure it with other pickups and/or hardware, ship it in a hardshell case, and so forth, for whatever that costs.

    Cost as currently configured is only $875 plus shipping.
    Any interest?
