new neck

[vaughn44]

Merry Christmas everyone here is a sneak peek of my new neck I am having made for my legacy.
I wanted a maple neck for it with stainless frets. Nothing too fancy on the wood per my request.
I am getting a tinted gloss finish though. I will update the pictures as they come in. Thanks Pst guitars

I have moved your post to this forum as it seems the appropriate one.

Please tell us about the luthier who is building your neck since resources for replacement G&L necks are few and far between.
What kind of truss rod is being used?

[vaughn44]

Hi. I am asking him what type of truss rod that is. Waiting on a reply. His facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/pst.guitars/?fref=ts . He has pictures of his work and also has a web page just google Pst guitars. I have never done dealings with him, but so far he has been super.

The truss rod is a bi-directional 18" long 4mm Allen key adjustable.

ssssweeeetttt !!! ...... even got the "bump" right , awesome ...... we need to sticky that guy's phone number , very nice option to have if G&L can't come through all though I have had a neck replaced by the factory 14 years after birth so G&L can come through sometimes

Fumble - what are you going to put on the headstock? Any logo or leave blank?

EDIT: Sorry. This question is for vaughn44. I got lost looking at the pictures and forgot who was who.

[vaughn44]

he has his own custom logo with the name of his company. I told him to just put that . Here is a facebook link you can paste in your address bar or just search on facebook for pst guitars https://www.facebook.com/pst.guitars/ph ... =3&theater

beautiful ...... that looks like the best option I've seen for a neck if G&L can't come through ...... what did this project end up costing ??

[vaughn44]

It was a few dollars shy of 400. that includes shipping, a bone nut and stainless 6105 frets.

[Fumble fingers]

about a hundred bucks cheaper than a new G&L neck with SS frets ..... looks great

Hi I haven't had time to post. my quick review of the neck . It looks really nice from a distance. Up close you can see some mistakes in the craftsmanship. Mainly the fret dots. the ones on the side of the neck especially, it appears the wood chipped around the holes when he drilled them. they are so small they blend in with the wood grain and color. The nut has a small gap under it which bothers me.
And I had to do a light fret level and polish. I had fret issues at the 15th fret on the d and g string. I hammered the 16th fret down and it fixed it but then I found the problem moved to another area. I got it playing good now. Overall I would rate the neck a 6 out of 10.
