f1badude Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Hi All: I'm new to the site. I've embarked on my second custom guitar project and am in the planning stage. My skill isn't at a level where I'm comfortable doing my own neck and body so I'm trying to find someone to do this to my specs. I really want to do a set neck this time and I am wondering if you guys can recommend some reputable shops who do custom set necks? Thanks for the help, BA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are looking for a custom guitar you have come to the right place. maybe if you give your location it would make it easier to find someone.

As a professional buyer, is my nature to see if there are options before I commit. Only other I've seen is Ed Roman but good luck getting him to answer a request; or god forbid he does answer with one of his rants!!!

Prostheta Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 I can't believe you mentioned Doug and...that guy...in the same sentence. I'm going to quickly check the forum guidelines. Wait here a sec and hold my gun will you? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never bought it and ended up special ordering one from Buffalo Bro's instead. I love to watch Ed's youtube vids where he tells you how everyone els's guitar designs suck!

Stolysmaster Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I just got my second neck from Doug at Soulmate; beautiful wood and work! He made the custom headstock on the first one just like I wanted. I wanted the neck back shape on the second one a little rounder and he got it perfect. I highly recommend Doug, and he is just a great guy as well. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
