Hey guys.
First project related post since I signed up so sorry if it's abit full on.
Just accidentally bought a neck off eBay... *handy tip. Don't let kids play on your phone after you've been looking on eBay lol*
I picked up my phone and seen that I won the bid of a neck I was looking at on eBay and being only 20 bucks I thought stuff it, it's only 20 bucks. It came from a kit where the guy didn't require the neck. What's the worst that could happen? Maybe I'll learn a thing or two. I haven't received it yet so i am unable to comment on its quality just yet and I'm just planing a head
So now I have to think about how I'm gonna Finnish this neck, how I'm gonna shape the headstock and how I'm going to level and dress the frets.
I was thinking about spraying the neck in a vintage yellow/Amber nitro but not 100% certain on that, wouldn't mind seeing some examples of some other ways to go i.e stains, tru-oil etc
As for the tools I'm planing to use or purchase for this job is probably a fret leveling tool from als and maybe a fret end file. What are people using to level the frets? I'm more than likely going to need buy a fret rocker which is no stress and could I just use my 1 foot aluminium strait edge with some sand paper stuck to it as a leveling tool?
Also, what are people using or who are they using to make up their custom logos?
Sorry for the 20 questions and thanks in advanced
*will post some pics when I figure out how from my phone
