  • Prepro Charvel neck questions

    I will be having a replica neck made by Musikraft and would like it to be accurate as possible, so I have some questions for those with multiple hands on experiences with Boogie Body necks. I know the basics, but need more in-depth specs from the elder statesmen:

    1) Were most truss rods single, or double action?

    2) The nut will be non-locking, what nut material was most commonly used?

    3) In regards to rosewood fingerboards, was Brazilian, or Honduras more common?

    4) In some photos I have seen, the dots look to be clay. Were clay dots ever used?

    5) What was the most common fretboard radius?

    6) If given Dunlop frets as a gauge, which fret size was most prevalent?

    7) Were brass side markers common, or rare?

    Thanks in advance. Everyones input and parts to date, have made this project to date a great experience. [img]/images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img]

      Thanks, Sully. According to usacharvels.com:

      6) 6100
      7) Common on '79's.

      All the info was there and more, including proper early logo placement. Trace is the man.
