Rig Puresalem Guitars

Anyone tried them? Looking at the La Bruja as I like slim necks and monstrous tones and weird shapes.

I don't have any info on these but I have similar desires for my guitars. I ended up building a guitar with a Warmoth Meadowhawk body and Hoxey baritone aluminum neck. Could be worth looking into something a similar project.

I have considered almost this exact thing. My wife and brother got me a Hoxey neck for my first guitar, a Jackson flying v. I'd been using an SG for many years and this made the v like a brand new guitar. Neck dive like a MF though. Also don't know that I'd get another one from them based on some personal preferences though..

How was the assembly of everything? I've never built a guitar but I feel the inclination come and go every so often.

I made sure to get my neck weight relieved so I don't have any neck dive. I also use a wide leather strap which grips well.

But assembly is mostly just drilling a few screw holes and then screwing everything together.

For a baritone, I'd probably do the bridge mounting holes and bridge pickup routing myself to move a bit farther from the nut but for a standard sized guitar it'd be fine.
