When the neck was returned, they did give a credit, but stated they would not make another for someone so picky. Picky?? All he wanted was it done right.

I recommend Warmoth or USACG; I have never had a problem with either.

Hey Ron,
is fellow TDPRI member "guitar slinger" from Lexington, KY (who posted an identical Musikraft neck flaw a few posts below yours) the one you build the Tele for?
Or did various people have bad experience with sloppy truss-rod placements on Musikraft necks?
That would be scary...

I remember seeing such a neck from them on a partscaster but I cannot find any info on this on their site...they seem to only offer truss rod access at the headstock...
USACG will do what you want. Just call and talk to them. Heel access and walnut stripe/plug are common.
Many thanks, Rich!
I'll send them an e-mail and ask how much they charge for a walnut plug/skunk stripe Tele neck...
