Reputable Fender/Ibanez Custom Neck Luthier

[F.P.R.O.]

Been reading alot about the custom guys on here, and I'm kinda disapointed but ever more wary about evil bay and custom luthiers.

Being an Ibanez site, you guys mostly get Ibanez necks. But what I'm looking for is a custom Tele neck, made with black rosewood/maple. Its actually not a big deal, thats all I want.

If theirs no one that really could do that, I wouldn't mind an Ibanez style neck modified to fit a Tele neckpocket, if thats possible.

What would you guys recommend? (btw is 24 fret neck possible on a Tele?)

Can't put a 24 fret neck on the Tele, I don't think.

www.warmoth.com for the Tele neck.

Yep, Warmoth is your best bet. The only way you'll gey 24 frets on a standard Tele body is with a fingerboard extension, and while Warmoth happily do 22 frets, I suspect that 24 will be pushing the friendship!

Warmoth does the 24 fret extension and I imagine that they do that on their Tele necks also. I typically recomend Warmoth or MusiKraft necks to my customers.

Yes, you can get 24 frets. Go with Warmoth or Musikraft. Warmoth offers a 24 fret neck with an extension. Musikraft sells a 24 fret neck. Both do a great job.

Has anyone tried the musikraft 24 fret neck for a replacement on their Ibanez? I emailed them and they said it would fit an Ibanez guitar. Is this the case? Thanks.
