    Hmmm, there's an idea, but do you think DB would do an LP Style neck for only $55??!! That would be only an hours worth of labour with some tradies.
    I did have a look on Ebay for necks a while ago, but like the PBG ones, they were already drilled. I could plug them and start again, but what I have in mind it would be easier with a solid head stock.

    Yeah, I would love to do that, but I'm a bit skeptical about my skills going the full scratch build at this stage. I want to prove the theory first, but thanks for the confidence boost!

    Awesome! Thanks for that, hopefully that will be workable with mine as well.
