Metalhead28 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Would anyone be willing to build me a neck-thru for under $80? It will be for my first build. Nothing crazy, just something like maple/rosewood. Heck, I don't care if it's from some of your scrap wood! I do not have the means to build my own neck....and I don't have enough money to buy one from carvin or stew mac. If you are interested, post here or pm I suppose. Thanks in advance. The $209 necks from Carvin are cheap. Having one handcrafted would certainly not enter my mind as a cheaper alternative. I'd expect to pay considerably more. Price some suitable wood for the neck (if a piece of wood is large enough for a neck-thru....it's not scrap , if it's lousy wood - it's not suitable), the fretboard (same thing), a truss rod, fretwire, etc. and see what you're really hoping someone will do for $80.

avengers63 Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 http://cgi.ebay.com/Maple-Neck-Thru-Throug...=item5ad80a3183 That's a REALLY good price. My question for it is why would you do the skunk stripe when you have a separate fretboard? That one makes no sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha same here, I have a little squire with the skunk stripe and separate fretboard. I've never been able to figure out the logic behind that one. And that has to be the best price on one of those things I have ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one makes no sense to me. idk my mim strat has a skunk strip with a rosewood (or what ever it is) fetboard i just saw the neck posted and though it was a good price so i through it on here though dude might be willing to pay a little more than 80 bucks.

WezV Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 about as good a price as you are likely to find on such an item - although you can see where they have saved costs over the stew-mac equivilent the skunk stripe thing is odd, but rather common - just a manufacturing process. i assume they would do it so they can have maple and rosewood fretboard necks ready to go and install the truss rod in exactly the same way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
