Should I be happy...scared? What to expect...

It'll be going onto my newly aquired Highway 1 tele body.

Oh, and the neck has a rosewood fretboard.

Did I do good? 130 bucks.

Old Cane · April 11th, 2012, 04:41 PM

I'd say that's a good price.

D.Allen · April 11th, 2012, 04:44 PM

You got ripped off I will take it off your hands for you ;-)
I think that's a great deal!

BigD · April 11th, 2012, 05:51 PM

That"s exactly what I'm looking for. Price range and all. God job.

waparker4 · April 11th, 2012, 05:58 PM

You did so good

rz350 · April 11th, 2012, 05:58 PM

I just bought a TRO-V, beautiful neck!!

$139 delivered

That's a normal price. They are good necks. Before finishing it, try it on the body in case you need to made some adjustments. If it's a little wide, you can take it down with a sanding block.

Ronkirn · April 11th, 2012, 06:53 PM

they are indeed great necks... but.... 1, roll the edges.... 2, do a fret level, 3, sand it thoroughly with 320... and after you finish it, wet the rosewood with mineral oil and walk away, let it soak in.....

I just got my first AllParts neck ... had done what Ron suggested ('cept it was maple, and nitro-finished) ... played it for a week before deciding to save it for my next build.

You did good. IMHO. But I always caution ... I'm a moron.

+1 on that.

Been wanting a thick neck for some time now. Decided to do a quick search on Ebay and saw a few I liked. Just not happy with modern C shapes any more.

Not sure where this "modern-C" thing came from, but it's so un-Fender, I hope the fad fades, quickly. It just doesn't feel like a Fender to me with the twiggy neck going-on.

I just ordered one in Maple! but it's a lefty and I paid a little more for it, but heard good thing's about them? we'll see..

Nice. Good luck with it. I can't wait to try out a new tint process on the neck.

rz350 · April 11th, 2012, 08:35 PM

I am a lefty, but only use righty necks, can't stand having the tuners on the top!! ;)

TNO · April 12th, 2012, 04:29 PM

My favorite necks. You will probably need to remove just a bit of wood from the sides of the neck for it to fit the body after it has finish on it. I like to re-shape them a bit by flattening the shoulders some for a less clubby feel.
