And you get a humbucker, what I assume is a volume knob, jack, tune-o-matic-ish bridge, ferrules, nut, and tuners for the price. It's 3+3, but the price really seems right.

Hell, you even get some scrap wood since all that'd be left is a body.

Interesting find, but:

Fingerboard Radius- 12"

Frets- 22 Medium Jumbo Nickel Silver

Pickup- GFS Crunchy Pat Zebra humbucker

Tuners- Sealed Die Cast 14:1

Scale Length- 24"

Width at Nut- 1 8/8" <- WTF

No thanks.

No thanks.

The others say 1 5/8"... that's 41.275mm- the same as my Supersonic. That's not very bad IMO.

Okay, 1-5/8" is fine, that's standard Fender B width. Still stuck with a 12" radius fretboard, though. It would work if you planned on doing a TOM.

Uh? Oh, you mean the other's are adjustable. Yeah, I suppose so.

How about the Rondo Douglas Peragro

24" scale 6 0n a side, and 1 5/8 nut. Full size strat body to turnover for $99. Seems like a good way to go.

the douglas/rondo guitars don't use a standard size neck.

so no neck swapping on those unless you want to resize the neck heel.

The Perago neck is a conversion neck so it's got that going for it. I know SX necks are a hair over 1/16 wider at the heel. Not alot to reshape, much of that is the poly. From acounts the Douglas neck is the same dimensions as the SX, though I've never compared the 2 personally.
