Don't even know how compatible they are, but one of you USA boys needs to snag this Shenandoah neck, fix the binding and do an Electric XII:

i did that with a village neck. the body was way to fucking heavey and the neck is pretty hefty as well, that is alot of "head" on that stock.

Don't the Villager necks curve around the soundhole at the butt? How did you sort that out?

He carved the body to match the neck, it was an awesome guitar

the neck pocket was cut like a 70's fender, and then i just made the guard fit around the neck. originaly the pups were "marauder" style, but i ended up mounting them normally since i was tired of telling people they were under the guard. it was the blue color for about 3 hours, i put a faded out oly white on top of that and relic'ed the shit out of it.

The ONLY reason this one sold for that much is so someone could make a XII.
