Go with a nice birdseye Warmoth neck!

I would but the fuckers are WAY too expensive. Id end up with a $500+ neck on a $100 body. No way thats happening. A Jackson style headstock, standard maple/ebony, w/ floyd nut and MOP dots, bound, and laminated headstock veneer painted to match would be $529. Thats just insane, I dont care how nice it is. Hell, even Musikraft arent even that expensive with ALOT of nice options.

Cedro is indeed a dark colored wood, but you should be able to tell from the smell if it's cedro or not.

Does it smell of curry?

grab one of the mighty mite jackson style necks; they're 2 3/16ths.

I was thinking of that... but the plastic inlays and no binding just doesent do it for me. I have seen bound ones, but only in 24 fret, so I dont know whats up with that. Ill just end up building the one I want... I REALLY want dots/binding so I think once I move to the new house and have a nice sized garage, Ill be able to take on some bigger projects.
