Ebony neck will be heavy as all get out.
You might want to go headless to reduce the weight.

Check out Ran Guitars as an alternative, if you don't mind a Made In Poland axe. Also, there's the shipping. It will be cheaper & faster than JCS however.

You DO NOT want the expense of an ebony neck. Hell, I don't know if they could find a chunk of ebony that big. [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] There's no damn way it's worth it. Mahogany would probably sound and feel better, anyway. And WALNUT? I can see it as a top, but the entire body? Do you have a fever? Did you eat paint chips as a child?

walnut is choice wood in strength against dents and such. heh, one guy on HCF had a walnut v, accidently slamed a fin into a door. the v was perfect, the DOOR was dented. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

many parts of ebony on the neck wouldnt bother me...i want something that is black but plays like a unfinished/tung oil neck.

Going past 24 frets is something I was told would bring the cost up over $1000... Was told they weren't set up for it.

That would be a died in the wool custom shop piece. Why you'd want that is beyond me, [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] but hey, different storks for different dorks, huh?

$$$$$, I doubt that there is a gaboon ebony block available anywhere in the world that is large enough to make a neck. If you have looked at the price of ebony lately, you have been shocked. Then there is the problem of tone, neck wood can be too hard. A viable alternative would be a composite neck, then finding someone with the ability to make it. One of the nicer necks is a Purpleheart with Pao Ferro fingerboard. These can be made by Warmoth if you can stand the cost.

Re: anyone have any idea how much jackson would charge for this?

An ebony neck and walnut body will be very bright, not to mention heavy. You'd be better off going with all maple, IMO. Plus, with a bright-sounding body like that, the X2N will have all treble and no low end, since that pickup has got a lot of high end to begin with. A Duncan Invader has a lot of gain with a lot more lows and mids that would work better. Just a few things you may want to think about.

Why do you want 3 red pentagrams at the 12th?
