Hello all, kinda new here. got some questions...

[antonzedd]

First off I'm a huge fan of Jackson and especially Charvel guitars. I'm saving for a Charvel customshop but in the mean time I'm thinking about blowing some bucks at Musikraft.com for a simple neck and body to build myself a beater for the time being. Has anyone had any good or bad expriences with building your own almost Charvel guitar?, just thought i'd ask. Cheers!

If you do a search you will find quite a few threads concerning this subject. The Musikraft products are top notch. I've built 11 guitars using their parts. They do have some QC/inspection issues with following the correct order form prior to shipping, but all in all the necks and bodies are very good quality.

Also, if your interested one of out own sponsors Mojo Bodies makes some excellent bodies in various popular shapes with great accuracy.

Welcome to the board.Just a thought. Why pay retail for a Muskrat? There are lot of 20+ year old Jacksons and Charvels out their that are just waiting to be redone? I'm a great fan of old wood. Why not buy an old beater and turn into "Your" player. You don't know me, but I don't do "New".:ROTF:

Good point. Restore an older one. Depending on what you plan to purchase, you might be going through the whole painting/sealing process anyway.

Good luck!

I agree Mojo (http://www.mojobodies.com/) makes some really cool stuff and they are great to deal with. Highly recomended.

I agree with sully. These are some great guitars and a great stack of parts.

Thanks
parts building is fun and its an old Charvel when your done

[straycat]

I agree building is fun and you end up with a unique guitar.
Now all that aside Kev how much for the Jackson strat head neck huh? huh?

[j2379]

i have to agree but, for the price of a C/J strathead neck you can buy a replica body & a neck. i got tommys old spider web muskraft & i have to say its a killer. pointy headstock necks are a nice option if your on a budget. ive got a couple of project with dimas era jackson necks. 1 dinky, 1 mojo body telly.

[RR05xx]

That is if you can find a real J/C s-head neck.

[83SanDimas]

parts can be cheap. I got most of them for reasonable prices. Some I paid heavy for... But its era parts. That works for me
