JonoS Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Hiya. I'm trying to find a place in the UK, preferably a Fender licenced dealer who'd be able to make a 7 string custom neck with the large strat headstock. It'd also ideally need space for the Floyd Rose locking nut. I forsee a few replies along the lines of "make it yourself", but as the neck is one of the most important parts of the guitar, and my skills with wood are probably the worst in the country, i'd rather have it made up for me. Looking through the list of dealers and what not on the website, I came across http://edenhaus.com/ which would be able to do it, but its in the USA, and would cost a bomb to ship over here on top of the price of having it made.

jammy Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 I wouldn't discount a US maker just yet - shipping a neck is really cheap, even by a fast courier service, and with the dollar so weak at the moment you could get a steal!

Batfink Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Well there's no such thing as a Fender licensed dealer who could "make" you one in the UK - well not as far as i'm aware, mind you not that i've ever looked ! If you want a 7 string FMI licensed neck try Allparts who i know carry them (around the £150 mark - not sure if they shelve them for lock nuts or not so you may have to bugger around a little bit) or i think WD may do M/Mite licensed one's.

This is true, it was almost $2 to the pound when my mum was buyin my dad the Dave Gilmour EMG set for christmas. I've emailed the guy on that site about a quote anyways, because obviously they probably don't stock that many 7 string strat necks what with hardly any demand for them. Does indeed look like an import is my best bet. No worries And thanks muchleh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
