where to buy allparts bodies and necks in EUROPE?

[nokaster]

i'm looking for a good place in europe to buy a neck and body... (thinking of building an esquire custom with bigsby: black, cream binding, maple board, B5, vintage bridge)

the allparts TMNF-VEE or TMNF-CHUNKY look very nice, but i can't find a good shop in europe who sells them.

i'm guessing as far as the body goes that rockinger would be a good choice as well?

all you european partscaster builders... where did you get your parts?


thx for advice and help!

Sorry, but last time I tried to contact the people at the above address, I had no luck at all...

They seemed to ignore my emails, with the exception of one single response which said something about problems with their server... after a while I stopped bothering.

It is possible that everything is OK now... just offering my own experience. After all they are the official Allparts dealer in Eurore, aren't they?

I shopped for a Allparts neck from www.gmf.se, actually a friend of mine in Sweden did, because I don't know the language.

i found a nice guy who sells allparts in holland!

allparts uk isn't very interesting for mainland europeans... shipping from the uk is usually very expensive.

I found also a company from Amsterdam, Netherlands. Called Thestring.com
I tried to contact them, but no replies at all..

I was looking for an Allparts TMNF-V neck too

if anyone wants to get into contact with the allparts seller in holland, just pm me for his email!

i am not affiliated, just a customer...

the above post shows once more that it is very difficult to get good stuff in europe... some shops say they sell allparts, but they never have anything in stock, or won't reply to emails etc...

this guy is fast and nice!

I have had good experiences with Rockinger and their products. The only thing that I wasn't too excited about was their vintage tele bridge which wasn't chromed.

The neck, body, and the rest of the hardware was very nice! They were very nice to deal with as well. I wanted a body with straight grain and they picked one out for me.

Good supplier IMHO

not affiliated, but a very happy customer, i really recommend basamp@gmail.com for anyone in europe, or at least the benelux, for allparts parts!

he'll have his own site in the future... at the moment you can check allparts.uk.com and mail him the partsnumbers and he'll make you a good deal.

fast and reliable! (but he's on holiday until mid july)

i hope i didn't break any rules... just glad i found a good supplier and wanted to share!

PS: for those who know about my misfortune with my hotrod outlaw project, this is NOT the guy who sold me the neck and body that can't be assembled as is...
