Tele neck £100 or under

What's Hot
I'm after a tele neck for a partscaster build and have been trawling ebay for a while now without settling on a definitive choice.

  • Rosewood fretboard (although getting scarce now so I would be flexible)
  • 21 medium jumbo frets
  • Modern radius - 9.5 and above
  • Truss adjustment at the head
  • Non-sticky thin finish
  • 10mm tuner holes
  • C profile - thinner the better - opposite of baseball bat!!
  • The neck pocket it is destined for is 16mm deep and a little narrow, closer to 55mm than 56mm
There are a few options on ebay but I'd like to hear from other's experience and see if you all have any suggestions or recommendations.

Many thanks in advance.

    I've used 2 Mighty Mite necks in Tele builds, both great.

    Look up an eBay seller called earlpilanz. I've used a couple of his necks on builds. Both decent quality, both with a Nitro finish already applied, a medium skinny neck profile, heel that was more 55 than 56mm and if memory serves both sub £70.
    Needed a fret dress but played great after

    Thanks longjaw - I've got a Mighty Mite neck on a strat build of mine and you are right, it's great. They seem few and far between at the minute though, and secondhand seems to be the only way to get one sub £100 these days.

    Thanks DrBob - I've seen earlpilanz's necks on ebay. It's good to have a recommendation that seems so close to the type of thing I'm after. That is certainly something to consider.

    ^ Mighty Mite changed their dealer pricing structure in October, hence the increasejump in price and my no longer stocking them.
