axesrus strat necks
« on: August 04, 2008, 11:54:43 PM »
as we know, theres a million different variations in woods, style, frets, profile etc etc.

i want a 22 fret, maple board, CBS neck. i have no idea about profiles. i'm quite an adaptive player, but not silly thin anyway ;)

theres not too many options to get necks in the UK, and its seems the combination i want is slightly rare. anyway, axesrus sell it. unfortunately though, its not a mighty mite neck, as one might have imagined (i know this because i asked them).

http://www.axesrus.com/axenecks.htm

its about 2/3rds of the way down, costing £71.

for the price, one might imagine a sort of MIM quality level - i should hope so anyway!

axesrus are efficient, but they do sell tat occasionally, i've bought some pretty ropey stuff from them in the past - as well as mostly decent gear obviously.

has anyone tried their necks? any good? this is what i want style, although i could order from several places in the US and get a known neck - Mighty Mite or Warmoth... and pay taxes etc etc.

my shredings coming along, it would be nice to get something at least a bit good.

Not sure about Axesrus but you could try allparts UK, that way you get a quality american neck but it is sent from the UK.  Never used them but have been looking at them for a partscaster.

i've just bought a mighty mite neck and body from the usa, paid another £40 import tax etc but it's all been worth it. Both fit together ok.

I'm going to be ordering a neck for my bitsa soon, but instead of mighty mite I'm going to be using these guys. Seem to be about the same cost as the mighty mites but much more allowance on making it exactly what you want
