USACG necks
Ditto on USACG! They're the guys to go with, they'll build exactly what you want, profile, thickness etc. They built a strat neck for me "V" w/.88 @1st fret & 1" @ 12th V-all the way up w/ 10-14 comp. radius rswd bd-no inlay. I danish oiled it & I might even go with some tung oil now (I don't know if that's possible over the Danish though) GREAY NECK, GREAT FOLKS! GREAT SERVICE. I'm goin' back.

I have at least a dozen Warmoth necks and I can't complain too much because I never got one I felt needed to be returned. Meanwhile, I now have more USACG necks and they're just one step nicer, one step closer to being bolted onto the guitar and played well. I'm talking, where the rubber meets the road. As you may have noticed, the Glendale headstock is proprietary. Well, so is the USACG, but if you buy unfinished you can reshape it into a real valid Broadcaster headstock and because that kinda thing is my forte I don't allow for that at all.
From my perspective, the USACG neck is quite a bit better value for money than the Warmoth, plus I trust the people to get it right - but if not to make it right.
