Sorted: Strat Neck? (Nothing high end needed!)

Creed_Clicks

Hi folks.

Looking for a strat neck for a strat project. Not sure really what to go for. Classic Vibe, Mexican etc. I don't need a vintage neck or anything like that!

Based in Ireland.

I’m parting out a MIK Squier with a really nice neck.

What's the profile on the Squire neck?

Bump. I'm based in Ireland (if it deters anyone from posting)

I have a rosewood board neck from a 1998 Crafted in Japan 62 Reissue Stratocaster. Originally bought for a planned project but my plans have changed. No tuners but it has the bushings. I could do it for £220 plus postage.

I don't need to go that high though pricewise. 

Gan_Ainm

No worries. Best of luck finding something.

Are paddle headstocked necks an option?

I’d prefer to just get a ready made neck

Cheers. Picked one up off flea bay in the meantime. Committed heresy and got one with a Blackwood Tek fretboard

bump, still on the hunt, and an unfinished neck would be ok too...

Hello - I've got an allparts maple neck with large headstock and bullet truss rod that I took in a trade. It has a tru oil finish I think, previously had a tinted lacquer finish that was sanded off, some of that still in evidence but hard to describe without pics. Feels nice and worn in but isn't that old. Has a tusq nut on it and the fret ends have been dressed, edges lightly rolled i think. Need to get some pictures of it, which I can do tomorrow when I'm back at the workshop.

Happy to do it for £115 shipped to Ireland if you're interested?

I’ll have a think. I had been eyeing up one with the smaller / regular headstock

No worries. I have some regular sized headstock ones with rosewood fingerboards but they’re fully finished in gloss nitro and £225, maybe some wiggle room. Cheers

I have this which I was planning to put on a Charvel body.  Unfortunately the angled heel on the body means that the holes are very slightly out of alignment and so it doesn't quite fit together.  Any good?

Creed_Clicks

When you say doesn't quite fit together...?

Possibly don't need to go that "high end" as it's a bog standard strat project... hmmm....
