aidlook Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Maybe if you stated who built the neck and actually checked and confirmed the scale length (would just make it seem a bit more serious to me at least) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkcrabby Posted February 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Sorry I didn't think if this , even though it's obvoius to me now.. I'm 99.9% sure it was built by Larry Karosa. He sells a fair amount on ebay.................... I'm at work today and won't get off dutybtill tomorrow so I'll have to make sure about the scale tomorrow but agagin I'm 99.9% sure it's a 24-3/4" scale.

Well, you might be able to get a low end Mighty Mite for it, but Karosa necks rarely sell for anywhere near the price of a Warmoth or real Fender, so forget about getting figured woods. How much did YOU pay for it? I've always been curious about Karosa necks though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkcrabby Posted February 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I just checked and it is a 24 3/4 scale as far as I can deduct. I've had it a while and don't remember exactly what I gave for it..................... if I can't get a "figured" wood neck then I'd consider something else,,,,,,,, you never know what might strike someones fancy,,,,,,,,,,, maybe someone will trade a nicer MM neck for it,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I'd trade it for a TELE or a STRAT neck,,,,,,,,,,,,,, really want one with Abalone dots if at all possible.............

tkcrabby Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Hey guys, I'll even trade this neck for a Mighty Mite Strat neck with an Ebony fingerboard ,,,,,,,,,,,, I have a Strat I need to finish up. Lets trade! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkcrabby Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Hey guys,, I added in the original post that "I would trade even for a set of Fender Noiseless Strat Pickups in good shape.........." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickguard Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Hey guys,, I added in the original post that "I would trade even for a set of Fender Noiseless Strat Pickups in good shape.........." See, the problem is, it looks like you're hiding something. First you pretend you don't remember who built it, and that you don't know the scale, and then that you say that don't remember what you paid for it, (although it can't have been that long since you bought it, since Karosa has only been making this headstock for the last year or so...he really needs to fix the template on this one though, it's one of his ugliest...why does that guy insist on ruining beautiful woods with such dorky headstocks?) So what's wrong with this neck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbarstrat Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I always wonder with these online trade offers : Who sends their stuff to the other guy first ? I suppose the one making the offer in the first place is obligated to send his item first. What a mess, if the other guy ends up not liking the item.

tkcrabby Posted February 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Wow guys,, you'd think I was the devil himself. I was going to put together a single cut out of the Les Paul bolt on body BUT decided I would build another (put together) another Strat , this time for my son, he has an Epi LP but doesn't have a Strat, yet. This neck is made by Larry K as far as I know,, I did NOT buy it from him so I have no way of knowing for sure, that's the reason I didn't mention it in the first place,,,,,,,, I have done one refinish,, and a Tele build (another parts build really with someone here doing the finish work for me) and the same fellow is doing another finish on a second "build" and then there's this "stratish" build I was going to do. I thought this would be a great place to trade with someone because everybody here builds/makes/assembles their stuff,,,,,,,, BUT I guess I was wrong........... I'll go somewhere else,,,,,,,,,,, you sure don't make people feel welcome, not even a little bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbarstrat Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Sorry if my post came across like I was finding fault with you, because that's not what I meant. What I wrote is something that I've been curious about for a while. I do know it's very hard to trade , because of the simple fact that there's such a narrow chance someone who has what you want will want what you have to trade. Doesn't hurt to try, but most of the time, you have to trade for cash, and then use that cash to buy what you want from someone else.

Mickguard Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 you sure don't make people feel welcome, not even a little bit! This is an internet forum, being "welcome" has nothing to do with anything. I just get curious when I see offers like this, wonder what's behind them. I'm willing to accept that you had no intention of making the deal seem shady, sure. It's just as likely that you honestly didn't see this. Especially since you do have a history in the forum, it's not like you signed up just to post this. Which is part of the reason I pushed on the button. Not to call you out, just to clear things up.

Strange, it seems to me that in the past I've seen people say the following right here on this forum to newbies, "Welcome to the forum" Guess I'm getting old-timers disease,,, my mistake I guess.

I think being welcome is a part of this forum. At least I'd hope it'd be. Quite frankly, I think you've been out of line in this thread. He offered something for sale, provided pictures, and tried to answer your questions. If you don't want to take the offer, don't post. All you've achieved is alienating a poster from this forum, someone who by your own admission didn't come here just to try and scam, but has been here a while.

Mickguard Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 All you've achieved is alienating a poster from this forum No, what I achieved is I got the information I was looking for, at least about the neck. I don't think anything I posted should have alienated anyone, other than someone who might have actually swapped necks for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkcrabby Posted March 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 I don't think anything I posted should have alienated anyone, other than someone who might have actually swapped necks for this one. I do feel somewhat alienated,,,,,,,,,, however it is most likely very true that the ones MOST "alienated" is very likely the ones that would have traded with me and that of course was the reason I began this thread in the first place, so thanks for sticking your nose in and making it so no one will trade. How would you like it if I did the same to you when or if you posted something for sale or trade? Saying whatever it was was not worth what you asked for it and it drove people away from buying /trading for it? I doubt that you'd like it either,,, shame people don't "do onto other's as you'd have them do onto you" ,,,,, that alone would make it a much better world.
