    When I come back from my long weekend away I will sort out the necks I have for sale, the photo below shows most of the necks that will be for sale. The standard price for a Start or Tele neck is £160 + £10 P&P, but I shall most likely have a black Friday sale in the middle of May. So prices will be about £130 inc P&P for necks made from Maple with a Rosewood finger board. Necks made from roasted Maple or solid  Rosewood will obviously be somewhat dearer.  If I have any bodies to match up with necks they will be similarly discounted if purchased together.

    Few photos of what I've made recently.

    Custom T/C made from Swamp Ash with a roasted Maple neck, this is slightly different to the norm, as the body is fully chambered as per a F hole T/C. The body weighs just over 2lb.


     Stratocaster made from lightweight American red Alder with a Maple neck, Rosewood fingerboard. Jazzmaster made from lightweight American red Alder, neck made from Maple with Ebony fingerboard.


     

    Two custom Swamp Ash T/C's as the first picture these are fully chambered and only weigh 2lb.. Both the bodies have white banding  back and front. One neck is made from flame Maple with a flame Maple fingerboard, the other is roasted Maple with roasted Maple fingerboard.



    Is that first one mine? :)

    Just received it here for traditional Candy Apple Red finishing. It's gorgeous Graham/Neil! 

    Once I've been paid for all my outstanding jobs I'm planning to commission a few necks if you'll be taking orders in June/July time @GSPBASSES ;?

    I'd hoped this thread would disappear so my wallet would be safe.

    Any roasted maple strat necks still available?

    I do have some part built roasted maple Strat necks, they haven't been fretted yet, so if you're one one let us know what spec you want it built too and I'll see what I can do. It won't be full price as I'm hoping to have a black Friday sale of necks next week (should have been tomorrow but I'm too busy) the roasted Maple necks are going to be in the sale.

    Let me know what you want, as I might need a paint job done in a few weeks time I'm sure we can work out an exchange of services. This is

    There's a couple of solid rosewood Strat necks, different spec to normal as they are a conversion neck Gibson scale 22 frets. These will drop onto any Strat body. And yes, the neck on the left has got oversize MOP dots on the front fingerboard.

    I have, unfortunately I haven't had the time to get into making the LPC's yet. I'm off on holiday tomorrow, I'll be back second week in June. But then I go back into hospital hopefully to have an operation to sort out my prostate. When that's sorted I will definitely be semi retired, restricted myself to making one guitar a week. 

    Apologies to anybody who is waiting for bodies and necks from me, I will try to be up to date with my work as soon as I'm out of hospital hopefully.

    Oh wow, sorry to hear that! Hope all goes smoothly with the operation!!! No pressure at all on the LP - it really is the least of my concerns right now but consider me still very much interested if & when :)

    Just remembered about this. I have a rough idea of what I'd like, but I've just not had the time to do the required measuring to see how the neck I like the most sizes up. I'll try and get some measuring done over the weekend, and let you know.
