Anyone used a Kmise neck?

Spotted one on eBay with a Danelectro-style headstock that would be ideal for a project I'm mulling over (link).  Anyone with firsthand experience of one?  I'm not expecting miracles for £30, so "good enough" would probably do.

    Yep, extremely hit & miss

    I dont bother with them now after 3 in a row crap ones

     I had a few really good ones, then one with a slipping truss rod (gutted it was a nice looking one) & the last one with a 'rosewood' fretboard looked like bogwood& was really poorly fretted/wonky heel etc

    I definitely think the quality has gone down with more demand 

    All *usually* fixable but not worth the extra time once you account for hours of extra work

     Just my opinion hth.

    Cheers.  I had a feeling QC might be spotty on them.  I'll give it some further thought.
