Sure someone will ship it over for you.

That's hellishly expensive for a bare neck, eh.....

£63. or best offer. Not that bad. where you going to find another??

Your just tight John,,

Yep....

Clams with lockjaw, Damian... word on the street is he's hell-on-wheels when it's time to cha-cha however.

Ach, can't access the sale from Switzerland... Thanks an awful lot for posting this though!!

Has it got a locking nut?

For the time being I have been using this Chinese neck, got it screwed in to the body and prepared the frets nicely. I intend to scallop it though.

Don't understand why I can't even access certain USA sales though, seems a little silly...

Because it's US sale only. You can't even contact them.

Ask Iceman nicely, he's a helpful chap.

But other countries at least let you see the auction.

Iceman indeed is a very helpful chap! If somebody would be so kind as to copy the pics of the neck and the time left to bid, I might pm Ice. The price seems fair, but I'm guessing the postage (ev customs) will turn me off of it.

Tough because I was in the USA last week. If it weren't a last minute trip I could have anticipated this kind of stuff. (Saw a cute BC Rich NJ mocking bird, neck-through and all on NYC craigslist HERE for peanuts, still lingering in my mind like a highschool crush, well anyway).

Just visit ebay usa and find it. Works for me in the UK.
Just a bare neck, locking nut is no problem. Frets look fine.

Send as a gift.??

I dunno, i've spent less than that much on full Westone guitars. I sold an 87 Anninversary guitar project w/ neck for about that much. I wouldn't pay $100 just for a neck, but maybe i'm just tight like John.

Who pushed up the prices?
When was that hobster? This is 2012

Mh, nope cannot get it to show.

Think I'll just plod away with the neck I've got now since I have managed to solve the scale issue and the whole thing is starting to look good.

Plus, I am uneasy about bidding on an item that doesn't show up.

Fair do's

How about some updated pictures on the subject??

Will do!! I intended to post some, as things are moving along. We actually stalled for about a month waiting for those designer screws from Hong Kong; never got here so after a month, the seller reimbursed me.

Does it absolutely need to be a pointy headstock, Beav?

There is an ebay seller in Minny-soda who always has Electra Phoenix (early Westone Spectrum) necks available. I'll post up a picture of my x185 for ya' if you are unfamiliar with the shape. Very fast and comfy to play.

X185 neck...


...or perhaps you are a Gumby fanboy...???

Hey Ice, that's really nice of you to post these pics!

The neck shape doesn't matter. For the time being, the neck I am using has a banana headstock (inverted actually) which I think is really cool.

I had already spotted that ebayer in Mini-soda, he must have quite a collection of necks but what did he do with the bodies??.

I have two big concerns: - space to install a locknut, if it is not already on the neck - the scale. I have the feeling with my guitar project that the GF floyd I am using is the cause of the issue as I had to make the neck longer in order to fit into the 25.5 scale. Probably, even if I use a Westone neck, the problem will remain, but I might end up trying this nonetheless. And the great advantage would be to be "re"creating something totally Matsumoku..

Anyway, at some point this week-end, tomorrow probably, I will unveil new pics of my "weapon of love".

The seller in question is guitar4u I believe and he always has 2 or more Phoenix bodies for sale as well.

I have had attempts in the past to deal with him and he is pretty inflexible on his prices. He has a Genesis I on auction now for over 8 months I believe and finally just recently dropped his BIN by only $30. Make an offer to him seems to mean he might consider knocking $10 off.

Sounds like a most patient dude
