Looking For Gibson Neck

[icetrey]

I bought an Encore guitar from a friend to refinish. The neck has too many dents and dings to repair and I want to make it as close to a Gibson as possible. The only places I can find that have pre made guitar necks only have strat and tele style headstocks. I found a store on Ebay that has Gibson headstock templates but I'd rather by a pre made if at all possible. Any help?

I have an epiphone neck. At least it looks like one, I got it on ebay awhile back and never used it.

I would think about doing that, but I plan on refinishing it and putting a logo that says Custom or something like that on it. And I don't wanna have to do that the sanding that comes with that if it's possible for me to buy one. Thanks for the reply though.

I used an Epiphone neck for the Cigar Box Guitar Jr. (doomed to loose the GOTM, but Meh). Sanding off the headstock finish on top is EASY. In my case, I used Titebond II and cigar box art to dress up the headstock. After that it was just a few simple coats of lacquer just like any other finish.

The results can be seen here.

On second thought. Man that was REALLY REALLY HARD to do that. Months of work. And it's probably a really bad idea to do that. Whew, glad I was able to WARN you about using those necks like that.

Psssst, how much did you want for that Epiphone neck?
