aMpaGe Posted February 9, 2003 Report Share Posted February 9, 2003 I am about 90% sure I'm going to contract someone to make a custom body for me, and MAY go with a custom made neck. Seeing as how Ibanez does not sell necks directly, I'd need to buy a used 550 or 570 and gank the neck. I would like to have a 24 fret Wizard neck with a reverse headstock, but am not sure which stock model would have this. The Paul Gilberts have reverse heads, but the neck profile is different from a Wizard, (diff. radius, and thicker overall). Having said that, who is the BEST, most respected custom neck builder that could make a Wizard style neck with reverse headstock? Or that if I gave exact dimensions for nut width, 1st fret thickness, radius, 12th fret thickness, and last fret thickness? Would have to be a maple neck, ebony board, and 6105 wire. I could always have someone do custom inlays if I wanted them, but would most likely keep it without inlays. Any help/advice appreciated.

Jehle Posted February 11, 2003 Report Share Posted February 11, 2003 The first place that comes to mind is Warmoth. They can do just about anything from the looks of their site. Warmoth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted February 11, 2003 Report Share Posted February 11, 2003 Tommy at USA Custom guitars will do EXACTLY what you want... If you give him the measurements from the 1st & 12th fret with a pair of callipers he will give you your radius FOR FREE!!!! He doesn't do Ibanez headstocks, but you might be able to get a paddle headstock form him & just cut it to shape His stuff SMOKES Warmoth's & he is a SUPER nice guy He doesn't do inlays, but LGM Guitars does....BEST INLAYS ON THE PLANET!!

tsl602000 Posted February 11, 2003 Report Share Posted February 11, 2003 Why don't you make one yourself? I just finished my first neck and it's not as hard as it looks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
