With a new neck...The original maple neck had a hump in the center and headstock lift rendering it virtually useless...

Ooooo, love that bound board. Did you have G&L do the swap?

T'aint nothin' like some good 'hog lovin'!

Neil Sargent here in Houston did the swap for me...Top notch work.

That looks great. Is the fret wire standard size?

You're right, fret wire doesn't appear to be standard size.

Daaaaayum! Is it just me, or is that burst looking better than on other wunkay's? Was it refinished or something?

So... You sellin'?

Looks good! Did you just contact G&L for the replacement neck? I need to do the same thing.

This is the original finish...I actually bought the neck from a fellow TBer...G&L wanted a fortune for a new neck

Bummer. I was afraid you'd say that. My neck needs replacing, but I'm not sure I want to spend the money on that. I'd almost rather just buy a new L1500 or L2000 and be done with it.
The L1000 is still playable, it's just not perfect.

Looks awesome with the bound board.

Glad to see the neck worked out for you clouder, great solution to a neck gone south. Were you getting ski jump effect on the origional L1K neck?

The original neck had a hump in the center and headstock lift...The action was horrible...
