Ok guys...the recent posting of the video of Flotsam with Ed playing the black and white star has got me in the mood to find a replacement neck for it. I am not an expert on strat head necks so I would like to get some help from the board members on picking out the right neck and getting the head stock painted correctly. I am not going to dump $800 for a San Dimas strat head neck, but a few hundred is reasonable.
Some general details about the neck:
Floyd nut because it has a floyd now
22 frets (the original might be 21, but I prefer 22)
Rosewood FB (looks like Rosewood in the vid)
Tung oiled
I am ok with a used neck as long as it at least close to what a Charvel neck looks like...skunk stripe, correct dot spacing, strat head, etc. In fact a used one would be great because the guitar has been well used.
If I go through with it I will probably just give it to my friend so the guitar can be closer to the original glory.
Any thoughts on who makes the best repro neck? Also, if you have any suggestions on the details from what you can see in the video or in geneal that would be great.
Thanks in advance!
