Dk2m neck question

[Jacksonguy666]

Well I got my guitar back today from being set up. They said that the headstock is stable enough & doesn't seem to be coming apart. Should work out fine, I'm going to roll with it. The crack just looks nasty to me but oh well. Here's some pics. By the way thats a made in USA sticker.http://i965.photobucket.com/albums/a...00209-1506.jpg .... http://i965.photobucket.com/albums/a...00209-1457.jpg ...

That is awesome! Where did you get it? And I am confused. Is that the original neck or not? :think:

Im the one who took the DK2M neck down to 22 frets! Also did it with a few other necks, its a great option to get the neck you want on an RR3!

I got it in a trade, It's the original neck but the headstock got sanded down and Jackson made in usa sticker put on.

Thats killer. Any chance of getting a pic of the last fret? Were you able to reuse the binding? I gave mine about an hour workout and noticed the when I use the whammy bar the neck some times pops, don't know why they didn't catch that during the set up. Do you have any poping issues?

[RobRR]

Yes, I reused all the binding, but the binding needs to be fully removed from the fretboard to do this. No popping issues here, theres two things to look for... either loose neck bolts, or loose nut. Either could cause the popping youre describing.

Yeah I checked the bolts already, gonna have to check the nut. I found a company on ebay that selling replacement necks, rock hard maple 22fret for $119. Don't know which route to go dk2m is $220. Is doing custom work like this something you might be interesed in doing for me? If so how much? Or do you think I should go with aftermarket neck and throw a decal on it?
