Warmoth Pro Construction Maple/Maple Strat Neck 1 11/16th graphite nut (too wide for my small hands- or I'd keep it) 10"-16" compound radius fretboard with black dots Standard Thin profile Clear Satin Finish (the fast feeling unglossy finish) 22 Stainless Steel 6105 frets which have all been leveled, crowned and rounded on the ends by a luthier because Warmoth doesn't do this. - $200 of luthier work, due to the difficultly of rouding the ends of the Stainless Steel frets. Gotoh side adjust truss rod Drilled for Schaller Locking Tuners (11/32"-25/64") which were installed by a luthier (but have been removed from this neck) I had this new neck installed on my strat in 2005. I played it at home (so there is no gigging wear or wear of any kind) until I got a new neck with a smaller nut width in March- about 6 months ago. This neck is in basically new condition so I am describing it by saying, " I guarantee it is perfect/new, except for the following discrepancies". So I will go into a bit of detail: This neck is in the same perfect condition it was in when I picked it up from the luthier except for a very tiny dent on the face of the headstock where my wirecutters barely bumped it. You'll see the picture with the headstock right underneath a halogen light at an angle in order to over-exagerate this little ding to reveal it in a photo. The luthier told me he had a difficult time rounding the fret ends because they are hard stainless steel and that it took him twice as many hours as he expected. If you look really closely you might be able to see where he just barely touched the edge of the neck with the tool he was rounding the fret ends with (see the pics). This happened in two locations (top and bottom edges) at the 2nd fret. Check out the pics to see them- these are the only two that are at all noticable if you look closely. Additionally, if you look REALLY closely (with your eyeball 2 inches away) you can make out slight scuffs in the finish only, at the 4th fret on the bottom and at the 6th fret top and bottom edges of the neck. You can't feel any of these marks. There is a tiny scratch/scuff in the finish across the fretboard at the 4th fret which cannot be felt and does not show up in pictures (I must have had a long fingernail while doing a bend or something?). The back of the neck is PERFECT. There is not one scratch, dent, gouge or ANYTHING to be seen or felt- it is perfect. Everything that has not been described above is in new condition. I also guarantee that the roller string tree is perfectly aligned with the strings and installed right where it should be. The Warmoth site will tell you this is a $282 neck- plus I had $200 of work done on the frets. So I have $482 into it. Make me an offer! Considering the condition and the absence of wear on this great playing neck I think that $200 is not enough. NO TRADES- my student loan payment requires money! PM for more detail photos (I've uploaded the maximum of 5 pics for this forum). I've never sold or traded on this forum. You can see my flawless ebay history for user stratmatt777. I haven't auctioned anything on ebay in over a year and my latest feedback is from when I was selling digital cameras for a friend's auction house. I can email you so that you can confirm that is in fact my ebay feedback. I treat others how I like to be treated. That's why I document even the miniscule details so you get exactly what you expect - no surprises- if you buy this neck. thanks for looking!
