Here's something I replied the last time this came up. The closest Fender-licensed thing 5A flame-wise to a Glendale is a Musikraft Private Stock neck, Warmoth are cheaper (and they are "cheaper" in every sense too). You've got to consider the big picture, and for some it is not worth it, for others it is.
Musikraft Private Stock = $400 and up.
Mark Jenny finishing of neck = $250
Bone nut installed = $50
Gotoh tuners installed = $50
Hmm.. $750 right there.
Add ALL things up and you'll see the price is on par with ordering it all up yourself, then let's say you have a problem with the neck and it needs replacing, you think Mark will refinish it for FREE, I mean he didn't sell it to you, not his problem?
Dale takes care of his customers and supplies what they want at a price they will pay (alot quite frankly), maybe not you, but some of us are really glad he's there.
p.s. Last week I received my latest order from Dale and it was not the parts that I ordered. He told me to keep what he sent and sent me out my actual order immediately (got it today). That's going above and beyond.
