Hot New Guitar Neck Buy Day
After years of not playing this guitar very much, I finally broke down and purchased a new neck for my Home Assembled Tele. Discussion over the past months with Mark and Prages and the rest of Weinerdom convinced me to buy a Warmoth neck. My delay was just in understanding the charactoristics that I was looking for. The added bonus was that I got to play Mark's strat which has a Warmoth neck on it - very smooth
Here is the Tele in its present state. The body is a WD Tele I bought in the mid 90's with an Allparts Strat neck. Pickups are SD lil '59 bridge and a Danelectro Lipstick. Originally I was going to put an SD Jazz in there which I still am going to do when I start to change the neck out.
Here is the neck that I just ordered from Warmoth from their showcase of necks available. I just dig the flame design of the wood.
