I prefer to relic guitar necks & bodies supplied by the customer. A neck, especially, is a very personal thing, and I don't like to presume to pick one out for you, relic it, and hope that you like it! Necks can be relic-ed to any degree - from light wear; to heavy fingerboard and headstock wear, palm wear on back of neck, rounded fretboard edges, and checking of nitrocellulose finish. I can even supply a "template" that you can place on the neck, and I can use it to relic the neck to reflect where your hands would wear if you had played it for 40 years! How cool is that?! None of the relic-ing done on any neck adversely affects its playability in any way.
Prices start at $50 for a rosewood fretboard neck, and $90 for a highly detailed maple fretboard neck.
"The neck is awesome. I know how much work went into this, and I am very
impressed. Please let me know if you can relic another Strat neck for a second
guitar project I am starting. Thanks again!"

" I can't tell you how unbelievable the guitar is. I'm so very thrilled. I'm
jamming tonight at a blues bar... can't wait to see the reaction I'll get. I'm
gushing, it's just fantastic."

"I just got my guitar today and it looks, plays and sounds AWESOME! Your work and attention to detail is
unbelievable. You are a true artist... Thank you so much for making this a wonderful and exciting experience.
The progress photos sent along with the e-mail updates were so much fun to get, it made me more and more
excited to get my guitar back from you... I will surely recommend your work to anybody who asks."

" I got the neck and pickguard, and they are beautiful. I love the way the
neck feels. It was exactly what I had in mind - perfect! I am very happy!"

" What great guitars you did for me. The Tele has tone that won't quit, and the
Strat - well let's just say it is something special. It has vintage vibe - thank you
for the application of your art.
Up here, we think you are the man. I have sold almost all my electrics and I see a day
coming when I will record exclusively with your guitars. No wait - I'm already there...
To me, it's like getting a work af art from an artist.
