as said above I'm looking for a company as Warmoth for example, where I can buy a neck for my needs.
Specs:
- bolt on
- I can choose the woods for neck and fretboard
- true 24 frets, no body overlapping stuff
- 5 string
- trussrod adjust entrance on the bodyside (very important)
My plan: chopping off the headstock, to make a headless neck from it.
Or is there a source for headless bolt on necks?
Thanx 4 your help, greetz from germany

In the US, if you watch warmoth for example, a neck costs (with chipping, toll and VAT) about 300 euros.
But the don't have that thing I'm looking for.

Currywurst, Kirn'r pils and a lot of wood carvng, was a good time there...LOL |
