GuitarMill necks

There's a new neck section in their site.
For their "T" necks as well as for their "S" ones, the peghead shapes amazingly look like the USACG's...
(not easy to go out of the beaten path; it can be explained like that. Nevertheless...)

I think Guitar Mill does a great job on bodies although I don't have personal experience. I did buy a body blank and it was excellent. I really don't see much advantage to buying their necks at this point for the following reasons.

1. They're new to the neck business
2. They're not Fender licensed necks ........ that's the reason for the for the odd headstock.
3. They appear to be more expensive than others like Warmoth.

The necks may be excellent but it seems to me they should have some sort of special initial offering price to encourage sales so that if the necks are good, word of mouth or keyboard can spread the word.

If you want to get a neck from the master, go to USACG.

They are the source.

If you're on a tight budget, Mark's suggestion is a good second choice.

I haven't tried Guitar Mill or USACG (for necks). I like my Warmoth neck a lot. It feels great and the fretwork is really good. USACG will be my next buy though ........... I have heard so many good things about them. If you buy the Guitar Mill neck, please let us know how you like it !
