Question on neck pockets - specifically on the EX...

[HatchA]

Many thanks, Waz! I think that's close enough to warrant taking a chance

Note that the pocket on the EX is the full width of the neck, as some set necks have a narrower heel. Also the neck is 22 frets long, so just double check that the Alibaba one has the same (it should it it's a good Ken Lawrence copy).

Thanks, Simon. I'll try attach a couple of screenshots (I don't want to step on any toes by pasting unwelcome links), but from what I can gather from the info & options offered, there are 22 and 24 fret options in both 24.75", and 25.5" scales. There's also room for a little modification and customisation, too.

Neither have a tenon, like the EX kit necks, but that shouldn't be an issue (I plan on ordering an Iceman neck instead of the stock EX one anyway). The heel flares out at about the 15th fret, which seems in line with both the EX and IC necks (from what I can tell by the pictures on the PBG site). For the price, it's worth a punt

I wonder if it might be possible for PBG to look into offering this headstock as a custom option...?
