Paddle Headstock necks - how low can you go?

thecolourbox

Hi all

Wondered if anybody had any opinions on the cheaper end of things for guitar necks, with paddle headstocks so I can drill holes in for some Gforce autotuners I have lying around, and reshape the headstock to a shape of my own design.

I think it would need to 24.75" scale to get the paddle shape right, but bolt on to fit the instrument I intend it for. But any other scale could work in theory as it's a floating bridge.

I wondered how cheap one can go and get something ok? I bought a cheap Chinese neck of ebay and it was not all that good, frets seem very uneven and sharp at the edges, and just a bit annoying to play so I suspect it would again be a false economy, but thought worth an ask.

Thanks
Matt

Just gone into guitarbuild.co.uk and it looks like £180 will get what you want. I've attached a screenshot of the selected options, heard nothing but good things about them though. Even shape the headstock for £30 if you can ahah. Good luck man

Ahhh, see that is worth more than the guitar is unfortunately haha but thanks for the heads up. 

I did fear it wouldn't be worth doing but hoped not. Not to worry!
