Baritone Neck Wanted Fender Strat Style

[Stratovariaxe]

Hi Does anyone have a surplus neck, ideally with maple fretboard, stained and varnished vintage style, with machineheads ? Looking for a Strat Vintage headstock, maybe even a Telecaster version too. Alternatively any helpers to make one

thanks for any interest and replies if forthcoming

Warmoth offers baritone conversion necks....basically allows you to convert your body to a baritone scale without having to move the bridge.

Thanks for the reply. I was aware of that , but they are too expensive for me to buy and get to the UK. Was hoping some experts here know of alternatives makes or supplieres and manufacturers by small time guys.

Are there any past 6 string Bass and tremolo projects that have been discussed here ? I am new so please bear with me.

thanks for pointer all the same.

there are tons of those all the time. try using the search function, and/ or go thru some of the in progress threads.

so warmoth charge $167 which you could finish yourself or pay an extra $95 for the vintage tint

neck $167

Finish $95

Postage $50??? (i reckon less for just a neck)

Total = $312

Now even allowing a lot for customs thats going to come out under £200 for a very well made and well finished non-standard neck

if you wanted to save a bit you could get some vintage tint lacuqer from here:

which will probably get you down to closer to £150 - maybe less

If you just wanted a normal strat neck you could do it cheaper and it would be easy to find but finding a baritone cheaper will be a challenge, it certainly wont be better than what you would get from warmoth.

Yes £200 all in may sound good, but applying a Fender style transfer afterwards, will that cause problems ? Do I need to varnish head again after eg ?

Thanks for the advice.

PS Problem is warmoth dont do maple only rosewood style fretboards.

Warmoth supplies heaps of woods on those fretboards...have a closer look

that has the maple necks with maple fretboards listed about halfway down the page

whilst i dont want to encourage faking a fender there is loads of info here about applying decals, even on the main page

I'm sure there is loads of info on the warmoth forum as well

Thanks, I thought Wamoth didnt provide fretting service, so they do the whole lot including nut etc

Thanks for more links will read up on decal fixing procedures for best results.

Great site and resource here.
