Thanks for the info McC. As I make all my own bodies now neck pocket size is not important. With my level of playing a good/expensive neck is pretty much overkill. Thanks anyway, I'll store that away for future reference.

Wow awesome build and hand tools only that's awesome!

[robin]

Thanks Matezma, but making a guitar with hand tools is really not that much different than power tools, it just takes a little longer and to be honest I can be more precise with hand tools anyway.

Its all about the journey and I like taking it slow. lol.

cheers

FWIW, Warmoth sell "conversion necks" made to fit Fender-sized neck pockets.
They will fit directly onto a strat or tele without any mucking around with bridge position. However, they're not cheap, especially in AUD.

I just looked at what they charge for a conversion neck at Warmoth... They're not cheap in any kind of dollars.

Although they are currently out of stock...
An 'F' style guitar with a 'G' type scale.

(mine has been the 'go to' since I finished it.)
cheers, Mark.

If you don't mind waiting, Adam can probably get just the neck...or add it to one of the other kits. I got a custom neck from him a while back. Took a long time (which he warned me of in advance) but it was worth it. Particularly as the shock wears off looking at the Warmoth prices...

Down side is that 24" necks are no-where near as common as the 25" ones.
I have a few on my watch-list. Not cheap but (I'm afraid to look) damned sight cheaper than Warmoth.

I'm tempted to at least replace my current 'engineered rosewood' neck with either real rosewood or a maple one.

Thanks so much Frankie, doesn't compete with your 100% scratch builds, but I'll take compliments whenever I can.

@Fender and Mark

I've already started researching for my next guitar and I think I will just stick to Pitbull necks. I've used them in all my semi-scratch builds so far and they will do me just fine.

No worries Robin. I ended up receiving an option to make an offer on that maple one so I took it...makes it handy to put these things on your watch list.

Pitbull don't sell 24" 'F' necks.

cheers, Mark.
