Epiphone 12 string bolt on neck (1970s Japanese) Ideal to make electric 12 string £100

Had this Epi 12 string neck for a while 
It's from a Japanese 1970s Epi 12 string acoustic that had a bolt on neck but will work great for a solid body 12 string project 

Was refretted with view to being used in a project  about 10 years ago and then project never happened
fretwire looks to be Dunlop 6120 so 0.115" wide by 0.050" tall in perfect condition
Fingerbaord was also levelled so in great shape

Zero fret, so easy to get low action and original tuners

Scale length = 650mm (25.5")
nut width=45mm
last fret=56mm
Neck heel  ends just after 19th fret
Thickness of neck at heel so from front of fingerboard to back of heel = 26mm

£100 plus shipping. Paypal preferred






We drilled out the old neck bolt holes and dowelled them with some fresh mahogany

    Oh yes - it would look kind of right

    Does the truss rod work ok?

    tuners - yes
    truss rod - yes
    nut width 45.5mm
    last fret width 56mm
    Scale length 650mm
    Fret size chunky and in great condition - we may have actually refretted it 20 years ago from the look of them 
    Fingerboard condition: great - also makes me think we refretted it

    So having reviewed that last bit I think it's a bargain

    @FelineGuitars ;
    After much deliberation Ive decided not to buy the neck...I have too many projects in the pipeline, have no real use for a 12 string and it would be cost prohibitive at present, so, thanks for the heads up and for answering my questions....but I’m out...it would be a cracking project though!

    It's ok - realised that I refretted it a long while back so it's at a fraction of a refret price, so a bargain for someone
