Frankenstraat, opinions?

[rocksoldier]

As i have said earlier i am building a partsocaster, already bought the body+floyd, and soon it's time for the neck.

I will most likley go for a Frankenstraat neck, but would like to hear some more opinions about them first.

How is the quality/fretwork compared to warmoth or musikraft?

never had a frankenstraat but warmoth & musikraft both make nice stuff. im not too fond of the truss rod musikraft uses but it works.

I've used a couple of em.
I would say the quality is comparable to Warmoth or Musikraft.
Nice stuff.

They're definetly as good or better. I've used quite a few of them myself.

i have heard a rumor that frankenstrat necks are musikraft... i had a jamerson(musikraft) that i loved besides it only being 21 frets

Yeah I heard that same rumor.
I was under the impression that he built all his stuff though before that

[cdwillis]

I never heard he used musikraft necks, maybe he used to? I remember seeing pictures at his website/forum of necks he was building along with some of the bodies. I've never personally dealt with him but he's a popular builder over at eddievanhalen.com (Surprise)

[rocksoldier]

Sounds pretty weird if he can sell Musikraft necks cheaper than Musikraft themself can.

[Model1VH2]

He doesn't sell Musikraft necks.
He makes his own.

Check out his website ...

Yes, the musikraft rumour seems like nothing else than just a rumour.

Thanks for all the help! Especially Model1VH2, i know i asked in you Olp thread as well, but this guitar will cost about a grand for me to build so i wanna be sure that everything is perfect.

As soon i i can sell my Hm strat, i will order the Frankenstraat neck.

I will make a new thread when the guitar is finished, but unfortunately that may be a month or two away.

How long is the delivery time for a neck btw?

Musikraft necks kick ass...I have 9 of them

Can you explain the diffrence between those and Warmoth and/or Musikraft, regarding quality and fretwork?

[Shawn Lutz]

You can't go wrong with either one I suppose. I never ordered a Warmoth neck but I did buy one from the classified that is maple with ebony crosses. Its a nice neck, nice fretwork.

I like the selections you can have when I order Musikraft necks. I like that I can order a neck profile in various shapes and sizes and make a true custom piece with it. Pluse a nice selection of chice woods, birdseye, flame maple etc..

Some of the frets on a couple necks gotten from them needed to be smoothed out a bit but really no a big deal for me. Others necks were pretty much dead nuts perfect which is why I'll always go Musikraft if I want a new neck.
