you don't want a D neck. they are way flat on the back like a gibbo

I really wouldn't have a whole lot of problem with that, but even a right handed JS is more expensive than just sorting out the exact specs and having these made. I want two of them, one for a SuperSonic style guitar and one for a Bronco, so I'd like to have the exact info so I can have these made whenever. These that I've priced out are $210 roughly, with the pearl dot inlays. That's cheaper than any Jagstang I've found.


Rob, you've owned JS's before, would you say the shape is more like a C shape then?

I'd say C definitely not D.

Got it. Thanks dude.

I confirmed that there's no extra charge for this with GuitarMill, so I'm looking at about $210 + shipping for the neck. Not a bad deal at all. I'm going to place the order when I get my next paycheck. I'll update once I have it in my hands.

Ordered last night. Dropping that much money at once was painful.

fingers crossed it works for ya.

They finally, FINALLY fucking delivered my neck. I had them ship it to my work since it's hard to get stuff sent to my house, they always deliver when I'm at work.

I'll post pics when I get home from work. Despite taking fucking forever to crank it out, and being unfinished (I didn't want the extra charge for it) I am mostly impressed with it. There's one side dot that seems a bit off, but otherwise the feel of this thing is amazing.

Good news. Glad it feels good. Interested to hear what you think when it is finished. What guitar are you putting it on?

Once I get tuners and a nut for it I was planning to slap it on my Jag for a bit until I have the cash to get the body made.

The goal is this:

Nice, that will be cool.

The goal is this:

Put a single coil in that and put a clear finish on it and it's my ole salvaged Mustang I'm buying off my best friend .



And #1 on that being cool.

Pens - was curious as to whether you were using this neck yet?
And if so then what do you think?

Hey, nah I don't yet have the funds for having the body made yet. I finish-sanded it as it was a tad rough on the backside and I am still shopping for lefty Kluson tuners that don't cost an outrageous amount. Unfortunately this project will be a slow one.

No worries, will keep my eye out for updates.

I did find a local luthier who will make the lefty Bronco body unfinished for $400...I get so sick of being ass-raped by these places so I have put that one on hold. I need to settle my tax issues and get a better car before dropping that kind of change.
