this neck was origionally for my RG7421, but i'm not going to be using that project anymore, and feel the neck would be better suited on someones guitar who is going to use it. i did all the work on this neck myself, while i was attending the roberto-venn school of luthiery in phoenix. the fingerboard is gaboon ebony, the fretwire is dunlop 6100, it has an off center double dot inlay on the 12th fret, and silver side dots. it has a
flamed maple head cap, and if whoever buys it wants me to paint it black and put an ibanez logo on it, that would be included in the price, but as for now its natural for whatever the customer will want... it is an RG7621 neck(off of my RG7421, but 7621 is stamped on pocket area of it...), 3 piece maple,bubinga,maple neck... currently its meant for a standard nut, and i will be making a bone nut for it if this neck is going on a
fixed bridge guitar. there is plenty of room, and i have the ability, to adapt it for a locking nut, if you can supply the nut i can even shim it properly and install it. but this is where it gets tricky... the neck doesn't have normal screws like most other necks have, it has metal inserts, and is secured to the body by allen head bolts. these bolts require redrilling the origional holes to accept the larger shaft. you will not need to use ferules with this setup though, and it would allow you to put more torque than you would generally put on the origional wood screws, which helps to eliminate any issue of contact in the neck pocket, the joint that this makes is so strong you could almost stand on it(disclaimer: do not stand on your guitar!
) for these stud inserts, its entirely possible to do the job yourself, but i would prefer you send the body to me, so i can drill the holes in the correct locations and set the correct side to side for the neck, as well as do a full setup, all for the 300 plus shipping... thats a hard sell i'm sure, but i'll include my e bay profile, as well as a link to the work i've done while at school...
Edit: no **** links, even to feedback, so this link is removed. I will, however, vouch for you myself - jim777
