For what it's worth, Warmoth doesn't use walnut for fretboards, only for bodies and necks.Without a doubt. I imagine it'll need wax regularly. It is softer than the maple for sure. I doubt it would last long for a heavy bender. I'm gonna see if I can destroy it with my hands for a while and see how quickly it damages. I don't have to decide for a while and Woodcraft carries 3/8"x3"x24" hard maple in stock for $9 if I decide it won't work.

Too tele-like...
You could do a thick finish on the fretboard like Rickenbacker does on the 620s or my Squier Duo Sonic. I doubt I'll ever get through the finish to make contact with the wood.
The Danocaster idea is more angular...this one is too bulky on the front bouts...And yet not the same.
What do you call that? Danocaster?
I agree. It's too Frankenstein all around--Tele hardware, Dano headstock shape, Gibson headstock color, Tele contours...Too tele-like...
