[quote]This is mine, it [i]is[/i] a maple cap. Try finding someone who'll make you one!![/quote] No - I got that. I am seeing the Roger Waters neck as having a slab (thick flat, not radiused) separate maple board, but the originals had a mid 60s cap, like the rosewood, just maple (curved thin). Edenhaus did offer to make a maple cap neck (thin cap, no truss rod stripe) when I was going to do it. I think they will make one now, they just don't make it too obvious on their site.

I would guess, based on limited info and pics, that it is 1987-89. Has gloss on the back of the neck, I think. 4 bolt. Clear guard and see through red is a mid 80s vibe. Has the decal on the back of the headstock, which is later. Could b e as stated before, as late as 91. But if we are taking a gambling vibe, I will bet 88.

This is wonderful. I was going to make one of these about 10 or more years ago (Edenhaus gave me a price to do one) and then I was looking at ordering one of the custom shop ones but it dissapeared before I had the finances in order. Me and everyone else, probably. I never saw one in the flesh, and the only one I find out there is that "wrong" one with the rosewood and tort. Why would anyone bother paying that much for what - for Fender - is less work and is wrong? In spying the tell-tale incorrect feature, I guess it is the maple cap, no? The Roger Waters bass has a slab, and the real ones should be curved and thin like a 66 rosewood board.
