FYI : they may not last long... neck

Sign in to disble this ad
Just saw this on thier site, and ordered me one. (19.95)

http://www.rondomusic.com/sjb75rctneck.html

They will not last long at this price, but BE AWARE:
the nut slot will need to be cut in... not a big problem, as you
could do this yourself, or have any guitar shop do it.

hope this helps...

I purchased this particular neck when it was $59.99 It is not a jazz profile neck though, it is as thick as a standard P-bass neck ( maybe thicker then some P-bass necks I played) .

Yeah, but 20? that's insane.

I'd recently read here that some that had ordered at the regular price got an unslotted neck delivered. They must have noticed they had a few of these and decided to get rid
of them cheap.

Another project is always around the next corner... perfect.

as I said, you can do it yourself or have it done at a shop.

how does a company that produces anything of even questionable quality 'forget' to add the nut slot when slotting the fretboard?

Rodent,

Good question...

However, I can't understand the answer 'cause it's in Chinese.
