  • Neck Replacements

    I need to purchase a lefty neck to fit a 3 2/16 neck pocket. Most of the popular online vendors will not make me one at this size. Does anyone know of a company that will make me a custom neck?

    thanks,

    joe....

    You mean 2 3/16, and you need 2 1/4. Check out Musikraft

      3 2/16" would be 3 1/8" wide - 7-string?

          I need to stop writing posts after a long day...

          This body is an 83' lefty charvel with a narrow 2 2/18 neck pocket. Would size neck heel would I need then? Again, most of the online places only make necks for a 2 3/16 neck pocket.

              ARGH... I don't have the body in my hands....yet. I'm selling a bunch of stuff on ebay to get the cash. Here is the link to the auction.

              I did find this place (http://www.usacustomguitars.com) that looked like they might be able to make a custom neck.

                From what I read it looks like the body has a 2-1/8" wide neck pocket. Best bet is to widen the pocket a little to fit a 2-3/16" neck. If you need help with that let me know!

                  I may need some help. I can't find anyone with a neck to fit. I really didn't want to mess with the original layout but I may have too if I can't find anyone whom will make me a neck to fit. The USCUSTOMGUITARS comp. will not be able to help.

                  What process would this body need to go through to make the pocket a bit larger? Ideally, you'd want to take 1/32 off each side to keep the middle in the middle, right?

                    That's correct. The best way to do that is with a router and a template of course.
