Allparts, Warmouth, Fender etc..

Building a partscaster, so looking for something that has a rounded or v profile - no thin, flat or skinny modern c necks please.

Heel truss rod and 21 medium jumbo frets would be the preference..

    Not rosewood, but I have this which I'm probably not going to use.  Any good?

    I remember this first time round. Those frets look big. Are medium or straight jumbo? What's the price?

    Definitely on the biggish side, but whether they qualify as full-blown jumbo, I'm not sure.

    Whereabouts in Berkshire are you?  I'm in Reading, but travel around a bit for work.  Might be possible to arrange a meetup.

    Do you have calipers? I have a feeling jap necks are slightly wider at the heel. I'm in Langley

    Got some calipers somewhere - if I can find the damn things I'll do an accurate measure.  With a tape measure, though, the heel's about 55-56 mm at the widest point.

    Are you looking for a full rosewood neck? I might be selling one very shortly.

    You might need to scratch AllParts off the list. Their FAT and V necks use vintage size fret wire.

    Yeah, I have an allparts smo-v on my other strat and love the feel/shape of the neck, but think I would love it more if it had medium jumbos... tempted to just get an allparts sro-v and just live with the frets.

    I must be a totally ignorant... I have no preference on fret size. My current neck has vintage frets, a lot of my customer builds are jumbo frets and tbh I don’t notice any change. V necks are good, I sell a fair few of them

    If my son is willing to part it out I may have a USA Strat neck from a 97 standard with upgraded Fender locking tuners. (Maple board).

    Thanks Matt, but the standard necks are not meaty enough for me.

    Last call for a neck for this baby - refinished by our very own professor @poopot - if not, might have to pay a little visit to @gavin_axecaster ;

    Looks like a bit of ash to me. Why you selling? Saw your other thread about another hardtail body?

    I need them to be extremely light due to neck and shoulder problems. So went for a chambered one.

    Having said that, the alder one I have up for sale at 2.1kg should make for 3.4kg strat which is by most standards fairly light.
    (a hard tail bridge weighs only 135g compared with 350 - 400g for a tremolo bridge)
