Ordered an Allparts TMTF-CRF roasted flame maple neck

[Lou Tencodpees]

Couldn't help myself. I'll be replacing the Allparts baseball bat neck on my Warmoth Tele Thinline which has been getting a bit much on the aging fingers. Like the specs:

Roasted maple with flame under a thin finish.
21 tall frets (.079" x .051"), modern
Solid roasted flame maple neck under thin poly finish
10" radius
Nut width 1-5/8"
Heel width 2-3/16"
Tuning Peg Hole Diameter .340"
Truss Rod adjustment at heel
Neck thickness .85" at first fret, .96" at twelfth fret

If it was available with the vintage vee specs, I'd probably bite, but I dig the 10" radius/tall fret thing too.

Anyone else nab one of these?

I’m curious as well. I’m planning on ordering 3 of them soon to try to increase my chances of getting some nice figuring. I’m wondering if these are more of a C, U or V shape? It doesn’t seem to specify anywhere that I can see.

If it show's up looking like it does in the photo's it will certainly be a score. The 10" radius is near my personal favorite. Both of my Melancon's have a 10" radius and I was truly surprised at how perfect it worked with my fretting hand. 9'' to 12' were always my favorite fretboard radius leaning more towards the 12" so I was really surprised at how perfectly a 10" worked for me. A custom order led me to believe 10.5" was perfection but you don't find them in production guitar necks Today my favorites are 10", 10" to 12" compound and 12". I'm hoping you receive exactly what you're hoping for. It sure looks cool in your posting.

Allparts is pretty good defining their Vee shaped necks. I'm pretty certain this one is a C.

Allparts necks are great values. Pretty one you got there. I like getting their unfinished ones and putting lacquer over shellac. Love the fatties.

That's stock photo. I order yesterday. I did email them asking for a purdy one. Lol. I'll post pics.

Looking forward to seeing it! And also thanks for the info. I was hoping it would be a C. A V would be fine too, but I’ve been digging C’s lately.

Received today. Darker roast than the pics advertised and the "thin poly finish" is duller than I anticipated. Nice flame, all specs in tolerance. With other Allparts necks I've often had to fill some gaps at fret ends, these are all tight. A few high spots with the fret rocker so it'll get a leveling.

Now I'm wondering how this would take some Watco rattle can clear lacquer.

Easy fit into the neck pocket, could be just an ant hair thicker as I usually prefer a snug fit. I'm not 100% sure I love the color combo though. I like a higher gloss finish on flame, so I have some thinkin' to do.

All mounted up except for a temp nut (waiting on a couple of bone blanks). Still not sure of the body/neck matchup, but I really dig this profile from Allparts. I'm usually a fan of gloss lacquer but admittedly love the feel as is. I may eventually hit the headstock with clear lacquer.

Another oddity that I noticed with my last Allparts neck. I do not believe the nut slot radius matches the fretboard radius. This one is a 10" radius board but the nut slot seems close to a 7.25" radius.
