When I was in high school I bought a piece of Mahogany, stopped by a guitar shop and traced the shape of an SG body and began an project that unfortunately I never finished. Fast forward 30 years and my son (he is 9) has found the guitar body I had cut and asked if we could finish building the guitar together. I had bought a neck, tuning machines, and a bridge years ago but they are all lost.
To get my project up and going again I would like recommendations for purchasing a neck (and other hardware too). I would like a good quality neck with a SG style head but as I search the web I am overwhelmed with the choices available starting at a price point of $50 (which I am skeptical of the quality) and upwards to $400-$500. I would like a good quality, above average neck but just don't know where to go and how to judge the quality when I am buying online. I am looking for a neck that I can bolt on; this guitar just has to be Gibson-like. :-)
I am also open to recommendations for the hardware. I tried to see if there was a topic on this already posted but I could not find one. If I missed it please point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance!
