Older Jackson neck?

[wraub]

Great info, thank you... Again, it matches up with what I have found. It sounds like your experience goes pretty deep, I appreciate the assist.

Well I mean I spent a few years restoring a few of these guitars...search up bassaxeworks...some liked me some hated me...ive had prob 40 woodburn necks over the years...prob 15 pointys...theyre legit they were sourced as replacements back in the 80s/90s. You can argue all you want but documentation from the era was spotty at best because well these werent built to be museum documented collector pieces any more than muscle cars were built to be rust proof perfect aligned pieces to be held and not driven...get my drift...you can chase the provenance if youd like and im sure you can find it with the right effort...

FWIW I ran a small online store and ran through my hands approximately 1400 jackson and charvels during that time frame. I have a fair idea of what im talking about and im one of the "semi old timers" I guess..

I have found some old price lists which lists replacement necks as a sold thing, available to anyone with cash. The '94 price list notes the necks had "the face of the headstock finished in gloss black".
I'm unsure how or if this relates to earlier necks like the one I have.

thanks for the info. so, I'm just curious, how were these necks acquired? would customers order them from j/c direct? would dealers put an order into j/c on behalf of the customers? or would the dealers buy and stock them to sell later?

I've also seen info claiming these necks were (at least at one point) "warranty only" meaning you had to send in a broken neck to get a replacement. that seems like fishy to me and I almost regret repeating it since you see the woodburns mostly on mutts, but what do I know.

In searching online, I keep finding "woodburn" necks, but a lot more Strat-heads than pointys (relatively speaking), and not a whole lot of either.

It would seem that there aren't a lot of them in the wild.
