biliousfrog Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Doug does nice necks: http://www.soulmateguitars.com/ Saga does a set neck guitar kit, the various parts often turn up on ebay. Where are you? Axesrus in the UK has maple set neck's for £52: http://www.axesrus.com/axenecks.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biliousfrog Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 check out some of his previous work first, I've had a "cheap" neck made before by a suposedly reputable luthier & it nearly ended in court because of how poorly it was made...cheap & good aren't often used together in luthier terms. 300 bucks, whether it's US dollars or GB pounds isn't much for the materials & labour involved, bear that in mind.

erikbojerik Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 You could probably get an unfinished neck from Warmoth or USA Custom Guitars, add stacks to thicken the heel, then rout a tenon. But if you have enough experience to do that well, then you've probably got enough to make your own neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
