soapbarstrat Posted March 10, 2003 Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 I've had this neck a while, and I want to find out what it goes to. I know it's not likely that anyone knows, but I'm asking anyway, just in case. I'd like to know the brand name and what the body it goes to looks like. I have some bridge hardware that might go to the body, but I'm not sure. I think it might be a 22" scale neck, but I'd have to check that again, to be sure. It also has a 'zero fret', but the plastic "spacer nut" is off the neck. Here's some pics : http://www.geocities.com/soapbarstrat/myst...stery-neck.html http://www.geocities.com/soapbarstrat/myst...tery-neck2.html http://www.geocities.com/soapbarstrat/myst...tery-neck3.html http://www.geocities.com/soapbarstrat/myst...tery-neck6.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitar_ed Posted March 10, 2003 Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 Howdy, That sure is a funky neck. You don't have anything next to it to use for a scale, such as a Tele or Strat neck. That would help. Some kind of a ruler would help, along the length of the neck, and also across the butt of the neck to see if it is square or not. Later days, Guitar Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulNeeds Posted March 10, 2003 Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 reminds me of a guitar my mother bought me from Woolworths here in the UK, Audition the brand was. Only difference is headstock shape. Body shape was sort of like a Guild solid, but only about an inch of plywood (yes...) for the body. 1 single soapbar and a trem very similar to the hardware by the neck in the pix. Looks like there's a spring missing from the back of the unit. Never seen another trem like it anywhere. It's very reminiscent of some of the dreadful European instruments from the 60s..

soapbarstrat Posted March 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Thanks for the replies. Not sure if I'll get around to taking another pic of it next to another neck, but I just took some measurements. 20 frets 2" wide at 20th fret 1 5/8" wide at nut (zero fret) 11 3/4" from zero fret to 12th fret, which makes it a 23 1/2" scale Yeah, it's cheap, but I'd like to know as much about it before I try to sell it. If I can sell it for enough to buy a big handful of fret-wire, then that's better than leaving it hang on the wall. If anyone remembers seeing a guitar on the net with this same looking neck, please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapbarstrat Posted March 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Thanks Rich. That's what I mean. You just said such guitars are at guitar shows, so I'm not too silly trying to find out about this neck. If you forget the cam, don't worry about it.
