Question

Fav. Luthiers?


I was just wanting to take a census of everyone's favorite luthiers...i am wanting a pretty radical custom neck to be built and would like as many options as i can get, for a good deal.

P.S. the square to aanj is no longer my concern, i am wanting a conversion neck to bring my guitar from 25.5" to 24.75" scale without body modding, 24 jumbo frets, maple fretboard, wizard contour, fr nut preperation, 16" radius perhaps, prefferably with aanj and maybe custom headstock lol

I checked into that bigvelvetdog guy and it would be $500 from him, but i thought i would keep searching for an even better deal, just in case...

USAGC
I've heard nothing but good things and I just ordered a neck from them. Cheaper than Warmoth and the guy that I dealt with was great.
3-6 week estimate for the neck including time for the finish.

Try Curbow custom shop in Ga.
I bought a Ibanez and the name, Greg Curbow was on the fretboard.
It's like a original wizzard neck with-wise but soooooo much
thinner!!! It's the fastest neck I have ever played...
The ultimate for playing "goat killin' music"..
