buredf Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 hi, ive started my first build ever. i picked up an jackson js1 on craigs list for 50 bucks it actually didnt soound that bad when i checked it out!! but i took it apart and started sanding it down. i happen to be sanding up on a porch and dropped the neck two stories and cracked the headstock!! now i need a new neck for this thing! can anyone guide me as to where to get a replacement neck for my guitar. or what am i supposed to be looking for.. i was checking out warmoth but they seem quite expensive for a neck and considering this is my first build i dont want to spend 200 - 250 on a killer neck and then ruin it. i just need something that is a good quality one. to be exact the model i picked up was the JS1 and the specs i could find are..

aidlook Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Are you shure you can't just repair the headstock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 +1 If the break is clean and you have the splinters then clamping it back up for repair and perhaps a refinish isn't out of the question. Did the contact point cause much wood crushing and fracturing, or was it a pretty clean break? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnRossitter Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 post a pic of the headstock. It can be easy to fix if you still have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
