Well,
Nitro finish -
A little bit of grain filler for the skunk stripe - the whole can is 15$ ( enough to do a lot of projects)
one can sanding sealer for color - 5$
one can of DEFT nitro - 5$
1200 grit wet sanding paper - 5$
Rubing compound and glaze - 35$( However this quantity is enough to do 10-12 car bodies, so it will last forever making a neck)
Fender just uses 35$ gotoh tuners on their high end stuff.
A bone nut - 3.82$
If you have the patience to build/assemble a guitar and set it up properly, you can build a neck just like the glendale.
Companies charge a lot for finishing because there is a lot of time involved, not necessarily skill.
