Warmoth: "We Need Your Jackson brand Neck"

[MountainDog]

I did a search and didn't see any postings on this yet....Warmoth is asking to borrow a DK-1 and DK-2 neck to study. Sounds interesting!:

"We’ll check out your Jackson neck for a few weeks and send it back to you if you would like it returned to you."

Might be worth it for the discount if you have a DK-1 or 2 just sitting around [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Warmoth: \"We Need Your Jackson brand Neck\"

There WAS a thread a few weeks back regarding a Warmoth staff member (Gregg) joining the forum and asking for our opinions and neck pocket measurements. Strangely enough, the topic doesn't exist any more. [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

If you would like it returned?!?! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

25% discount on a neck is all they're offering for you to loan them a neck off of a USA Jackson? I wonder if they're offering to pick up the shipping?

They make licensed Fender stuff....Fender owns Jackson...why can't they get one from them?

Re: Warmoth: \"We Need Your Jackson brand Neck\"

Licensing doesn't mean they're butt-buddies - Warmoth still has to buy OPP [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Too bad I don't have a spare neck for The Halford [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Warmoth: \"We Need Your Jackson brand Neck\"

Sure, Newc, I'm sure everyone wants a warmoth neck with rhinestone inlays. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Warmoth: \"We Need Your Jackson brand Neck\"

Actually it's just a maple/maple JTX neck with a modded heel to fit a regular Jackson pocket - thinnest neck Jackson ever made for an import, and will smoke anything around in terms of playability [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

If it only had ebony fins, natural headstock, and black binding [img]/images/graemlins/drool2.gif[/img]

Re: Warmoth: \"We Need Your Jackson brand Neck\"

Anybody sending one in?
I'm thinking of sending my DK2 neck. I don't use it much and always wanted one with ebony and mop fins.

Anybody have a SD Charvel neck they can part with for awhile?

Re: Warmoth: \"We Need Your Jackson brand Neck\"

While Warmoth makes killer ebony/maple necks (one of their 3a birdseye maple necks with macassar ebony looks just phenomonal and plays like a dream) they don't generally use real MOP for inlays if that matters to you. So if you turn in the Dinky and decide down the road to get a replacement in the manner you describe you will probably have to pay an additional upcharge more than the flat 70.00 to get genuine MOP, if that even matters to you [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I'd do it if I had a Dinky neck to turn in. The neck I was planning on to replace my Mighty Mite I currently have on my Warmoth I estimated at 550 (including the price of the locking tuners), so that would be a nice discount [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img].

No upcharge, they simply will NOT do genuine MOP, I asked them plenty of times! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I'm actually more intrested in the ebony.
I can't stand the light rosewood on that dinky neck. Maybe if it were darker, but nah.
