Eden Tele neck vs Allparts nitro 'spensive Tele neck

Thought this might interest a few people seeing as I've got a couple of tele necks from both ends of the price spectrum here.
Eden neck is satin finish, cost $20 in the Eden sale. Allparts is gloss nitro, cost over $200.

Truss rod adjustment is at the heel on the Allparts, at the nut on the Eden. Dimensions are the same, except for the visible variations in the headstock shape. Both have vintage narrow-style frets. The profile on the allparts neck is more comfortable- more D than C-shaped... if that makes sense. Tuner holes in the Eden are too big, but will take inline Klusons without any gaps showing. Probably drilled for Schaller-types. Fret-ends on both necks are faultless.

In all though, the Eden neck is incredible quality for the money.

But the problem with Eden from what I seen on forums is that their quality varies greatly. So it's basically a crapshot.

Good illustration Tim.
Although, i think if i bought a Tele i would fit an Ibanez 'wizard' neck on it.

Promising neck source... shame they don't make 24"ers though. :(

How's the eden satin finish feel? Squier level?

This looks like when I put my arm next to anyone else's. <3 being English.

Besides fret ends, are the frets on the Eden level?
