goth_fiend Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 i have gone through my 5th neck trying to build one so im beyond mad about this, and im curious if any of you guys would be willing to build me a 27 fret neck with the following specs maple/mahogany/maple bolt-on neck ebony fretboard 27 tapered frets(what i mean by this is that only the G,B, and E strings would have all 27 frets) side dot inlays crossed scythe inlays on the 11-13 frets slotted for locking nut 16" radius jumbo fret wire pointed headstock with 3 per side tuners if any of you guys could do this for me, please PM me here on the site and we will talk about pricing this badboy!

ibreakemineedtobuildem Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Whats the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goth_fiend Posted May 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 well i have either snapped it because the darn thing was way too thin, or i have had it warp on me because of removing too much wood on it, not having a thick enough fretboard, stuff like this, thats why im just going to have somebody build me one for now and then when im more comfortable with building necks i will make my own, but i have had this body for 2 years now and i want it finished!!!

Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 All I have is flamed maple. Is it natural finished? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goth_fiend Posted May 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 yes the back of the neck will be finished in tung oil, flamed would be fine, i would like to have a center strip of mahog though if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
