Electric Guitar Neck Paddle Head Rosewood on Maple 22 Frets Dot Inlay Unfinished

Excellent buy for the price. I will definitely get these again.One of the necks does have some scratches on the fretboard, which aren't the worst but definitely bothersome because there's 4 or 5 of them and I think they're just deep enough that I can't sand them out without changing the shape of those areas. That's my only real gripe with these necks.Otherwise the truss rods are good, the frets are seated well and not sharp on the ends. The nut and nut slots are in expected mediocre condition but it's easy to replace the nut.Hope this helps

Disclaimer: I bought this product with the plan to use it unconventionally. I ordered "off the menu", so some points may not apply to traditional use. However, I discovered some problems with the product that are of note to all purchasers.As mentioned above, I bought this neck with the plan to remove the fret board and replace it with an ebony one from StewMac. These are the pros and cons to this neck, some of which were only apparent once the fret board was removed:The Good:The neck itself is straight.There is a full truss rod on the inside of the neck. I'm not sure about its functionality as my build hasn't been completed yet, but the rod is there.The paddle head is very large.The neck is level and flat from the heel to the back of the paddle (it sits firmly on a table).The neck has a very light finish on it, so it's easily sanded off.The neck wood is pretty good and easily workable.The truss rod is protected by some kind of plastic/glue combination inside the neck.The Bad: (most of which I didn't care about, since my build only needed the neck itself.)The fret board had some minor bowing and was not evenly planed.The nut is complete plastic garbage.The inlays look fine, but upon removal, are a weird rubbery-plastic composite.The fret board wood looked decent to play on, but upon removal, was very dry and stringy. Yuck.The frets are thin and probably would need to be replaced if played a lot.The Ugly:The fret board was a bear to remove. The conventional heat gun/iron approach wasn't fully successful. I ended up opening a pack of new wood chisels and hammering out the fret board.The heel wasn't shaped correctly. It was close, but I ended up routing it down to match my template to get a perfect fit. This is problematic because I used the original Strat/Tele schematics for the neck pocket, and the template was cut on a laser machine (GlowForge)... so I know that the template was correct and the neck was not.The REALLY Ugly:It became apparent only after removing the fret board that a good chunk of the heel (the corner) had been damaged or removed during production. Instead of throwing out the neck, the manufacturer filled the corner with a gross acrylic-like substance which, of course, chipped when I had to re-rout the heel. I had to refill and reshape the corner with wood filler and scrap flakes from the router.TLDR; I would only buy this neck if you have a wood shop or good woodworking skills at your disposal. Sure, this neck might fit your build out-of-the-box, but I wouldn't take that gamble unless you are a very lucky person. ;) However, if you need a neck for a weird build and don't need the fret board, this is a very good and affordable option.

The peg head is nice and big so I can cut down to my own design. And it does have a truss rod in case it needs adjusting in the future.

Box was beat to death, small portion of binding broke near the heel....got out the superglue and reattached it. No biggy, but, yeah, it was damaged on arrival. The binding ON the heel...well, after last fret, you know what I mean. Needs sanded BADLY...it looks like they ran it over a sander numerous times in the same direction, so there is a plastic "roll" hanging over the edge.Also, the DIY dimensions in the item description are incorrect. It states "DIY Size: about 3.94 x 6.1 x 0.39 inch"I just measured the "paddle" and it's 4 3/4 inches wide, and about 7 1/4 inches long. This is the flat portion of the headstock, after the slope from the nut/truss rod area.I mention this because I was planning ahead, designing my headstock last evening, before I received the neck. I based my design on their dimensions....and I have a TON more room than I thought.Just at first glance, the neck doesn't appear to be twisted, so there's that. It does have a really nice razor cut on the binding on the low side, from fret 13 to 16 1/2....it goes right though a dot. I'll try sanding it a bit to see how deep it goes. And there's something funky about the bit right behind the nut. On the high E side, it measures 5/32 of an inch, from the nut to where the slope starts. It's a hard slope, not contoured at all. But on the low E side it's only about 2/32 wide. It makes it "look" like the nut is crooked, but lines up with the first fret, and is equally distance from it all across. So, again, it's just another cosmetic annoyance. I could sand it level, I suppose.Just a bit more DIY than I had anticipated...I expected to create, not fix...So....FWIW. I have yet to put it on a guitar, or check anything like fret level, etc.

It fit the body nice and tight, I barely had to sand it a bit. The frets are small as expected, which is fine with me. The frets need sanding on the edge...also expected. The nut needed a bit of sanding on the edges. It's very straight. The only real issue is that the fret markers are just slightly off, but fret spacing is perfect. For the price, I would do it again, I may even attempt a refret for stainless frets since there isn't much to lose here. The price definitely increases my courage to work on it.Update: now that I finished the project, the neck plays wonderfully and barely needed adjustment. Fret ends needed sanding but not much past that.

Anteriormente adquirí otra pieza y tenía detalles de acabados, sobre todo en los frets. Este está mucho mejor y luce muy bien. Tienes la libertad de diseñar la cabeza a tu gusto y le puedes dar el toque personal. Lo usé para un tipo Les Paul aunque la longitud es de una Fender. Ojalá tuvieran con las medidas de una Les Paul. La cejilla es de plástico y aunque hace su trabajo, es mejor cambiarla por una de hueso.

有難うございました。

よくある中華企業の典型的ですね。いつまで経っても届かない、そして私のようにしつこい人間から問い合わせがあったら、「今問題が生じて商品がこっちに戻ってきてる。どうしますか？（※カタコトの日本語）。そして私「もうええわ！はよ金返してくれや」。そして間もなく返金された。しかしこういったよくある中華企業のやり口は、注文した事を忘れさせる事。そしたら丸儲け。私のようにしつこく問い合わせた人間にだけ、「今問題が起こって戻ってきてる」といって、送ってもないくせにそう言ってくる。そしてそういう人間にだけお金を返金する。本当に汚いやり方でっせ！額が少額なら忘れがちにもなるし、問い合わせも億劫になる事を利用した、新手の詐偽だ。日本の皆様、今やAmazonも無法地帯と化しております。なので我々が厳しく対応対処していく事が大事ではないでしょうか。

i bought 2 of these and they were awesome but i also paid 59 or 69 dollars in sept 2022 i really dont think this product 6 month later cost more than double to produce . great product but because of such a drastic price hike i will not buy again. you can still make your own for around 60 to 70 dollars.

I bought two of these necks, and they are beautiful, and the fretwork is good. There is some invitable fret sprout, but that’s not a problem. But this is a bass neck, scale length of 32”. Oh well…
