FS Block & Bound CBS Strat neck, Nitro finish

DrBobDrBob Frets: 3006

Bit of an unusual one this one

This came to me from JookyChap a good few years back. The way he told it he was in communication with this guy in the US for ages about getting some block & bound necks made and then after about 18months he sent me two. I have no way of corroborating any part of that unfortunately as I haven’t heard from Mark for years now and even back then his way of describing stuff did always err on the “deliciously bonkers” side of the track 

What we can tell you 

Maple neck, Rosewood board with block, actually I say “block” it’s more Gibson like trapezoid inlays

22 low, wide-ish frets 
9.5” radius 
41.9mm wide at the nut
56.3 mm wide at the heel 
It’s a chonky boy at 24mm deep at the first fret going up to 24.8 mm at the 12th big round “C” profile so it doesn’t actually feel that big in the hand 

Vintage tint nitro finish by our very own @lamf68 ;;

With my logo on the headstock ( the insufferable arrogance of it !)

Comes with a set of modern type Wilkinson tuners

Bit of an ugly on the headstock unfortunately

Bit torn about selling it as I don’t have anything else with my logo on it but I suspect it won’t get used anytime soon and cash is always always handy ….

£90 posted ? I’m envisaging it on a Jazzmaster or a Tele Deluxe, maybe Walnut with a black plate ?

    Possibly a bit strong at £90 ? Open to offers, also am after a Carl Martin Panama or Bogner La Grange if you’re feeling a bit trad-ey
