The tele is nice, and has a decent neck, but it is fairly fat, and even though it is supposed to have medium jumbo fender sized frets, they are clearly shorter and rounder than my other MIM or MIA fenders.They feel like the old MIM 'vintage' style frets from the 90's models to me. It is a decent guitar, but it just didn't feel comfortable. It sounds great, and the pickups seem to be decent alnico models from the MIM vintage series, and the body is pretty light, so I liked everything but the neck/frets. So, I watched the Warmoth site for along time for a maple tele neck that would fit my needs, and finally, this thing turned up.
I have a set of tuners for it already and I have some roller style string trees. Should be a pretty simple bolt on with a little drilling for the tuner screws and such. It even comes with the nut pre-slotted by CNC.
The birdseye bling is a bonus, as this neck was pretty much the same price as the plain maple they had in stock.

The tuners are going to be a set of locking planet waves units with built in string trimmers. My brother bought me a set of them a while back for a present, as he read they were designed by Ned Steinberger, and knew that I was a fan. I didn't have a guitar to install them on, but I kept them for a build.

Great looking neck!The tuners are going to be a set of locking planet waves units with built in string trimmers.

Just a word on the Planets waves. I had the same tuners and I loved them with one exception, if you dont pull the high E very tight befoe locking the tuner it can wrap around post a full revolution and then the trimmer will cut the string off. It was just something to be aware off. Great tuners otherwise.
lol. Thanks for the tip. That sounds funny, but really annoying too. I can imagine that happening and trying to figure out what the hell just happened. Then I would get angry and call Planet Waves and ask why the stupid tuners would trim the strings after I tuned them up, and how that was any sort of advantage.
I hope this neck plays as well as my other warmoth strat necks. I'm pretty keen to get it here and get it on the guitar.

I can celebrate the birth of our nation by bolting up a nice slab of birdseye, like our founding fathers intended.
Thats a beautiful neck.
Whatcha got planned for the old neck?

The old neck is probably going onto a new tele body set up for slide playing. Maybe something cabronita style.Thats a beautiful neck.

John Adams was a shredder, but Franklin favored the blues.
