Members onelife Posted April 12, 2019 Members Share Posted April 12, 2019 what are some popular brands of replacement necks for strats? I was considering Mighty Mite or Hosco. What should I look at when selecting a neck for my upcoming Partscaster project? I've got a couple of telecasters, one with a Warmoth neck and one with a Mighty Might. The Mighty Might is comparable with a Mexican built Fender and the Warmoth is a premium product and double the price of the Mighty Might. I gig with both guitars and don't have any problems with either one. The difference is the Mighty Might is a replacement I put on a Fender Telecaster and the Warmoth is for a partscaster I built with premium parts. I highly recommend Warmoth - they have a wide variety of styles to choose from and will build one to your own specs if that's the way you want to go. Check out their website - even if you don't buy from them there is a wealth of information available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Freeman Keller Posted April 12, 2019 Members Share Posted April 12, 2019 Ken Warmoth was interviewed in one of the lutherie magazines and said the frets on their necks aren't at their final level or finish - he said they expect the installer to do the frets when he is done installing. My experience is that Warmoth necks were much better than Mighty Mite but still needed a bit of a tweak. That Gotoh side adjust truss rod is totally cool.

Members Freeman Keller Posted April 15, 2019 Members Share Posted April 15, 2019 I'll be looking in I'm also finding it hard to get enthusiastic about posting a build thread. I'd rather just go build something, but since this was kind of special, being for a forumite and all, I thought I would do it. Besides, Dano insisted on it LOL.

I just got a mahogany replacement neck from GFS for my Epiphone LP Special II and it’s really nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members One-armed Alec Posted April 22, 2019 Members Share Posted April 22, 2019 I bought a Musikraft replacement Strat neck a while back - quartersawn with dark rosewood board. They did the neck profile I wanted and at the time were able to finish the neck in nitro gloss (last time I checked finishing was sadly no longer available). Neck came with tuners and bone nut installed, all I had to do was stick a fake Fender decal on it and it was good to go! Very high quality item, as good as for example a Fender EJ neck. I like that it looks 100% vintage, but has modern frets. I did have to add a washer under the truss rod nut, but it's been stable since then (years).
