RebelRelic mentions their necks as being USA luthier built. Does anyone know who this may be?

Hi Ray,
I have several sources for necks. Some Custom orders I make Myself, some Are from A Luther friend in america Some are Lic by Fender From Japan and USA and some are from a factory in Japan that make Necks for Fender as well.

Basically Some sources make certain types of neck well and other types not to my specs; It is important for many of my clients that the necks are to the best vintage specs possible. There are so many variables when it comes to necks. Like, profiles, radius, wood quality, truss-rod type, fret sizes, dot markers, And so on.

if someone wants a 55 Tele with a maple compound radius and a Chunky V shaped profile with Medium thin frets and a Light honey NOS Nitro finish. I want to be able to give that to them or a reasonable price. My goal is to build the kind of Vintage style guitars that most people could never afford and make them affordable.

Ever since Leo stopped making Fenders and now the Giant conglomerate corporations are doing it a lot of the vibe is lost. and the Fender Custom shop's idea of a limited addition is a run of 600. They loose the vibe too. and I've seen the quality. Sad to say that it has dropped. but the prices did not.
