That is my Strat neck, and it is not going on eBay.

(Although a few other necks may well be trading that well-worn path....)

This one is for my hardtail Relic Strat project.  It's a Fender neck which Wez is ageing to mid-'60s specs (approximately - it's actually a '62 style slab board, not veneer)

I really won't be selling this one!  Even if it turns out rubbish (the guitar that is, not the neck!!) I'll just move the neck, pickups and hardware to another body.

To be fair Dave, I think this neck is actually on or at least destined for a specific instrument. So there's a good chance that its trip to ebay might be some way off (compared to the treasure trove of spare necks hiding in his wardrobe) :lol:

EDIT: Philly posted while I was typing... there you go, from the horse's mouth.... (and we all believe him, honestly, we do... a bit like we believe TF won't be buying another PRS after the last/next/wotever one... and the tooth fairy... etc, etc)

EDIT2: It's a FINE looking neck there, Philly :D

Sums it up nicely Andy.

And I can't deny the existence of that treasure trove of spare necks.   :oops:

The problem with the Warmoth site is.... that I keep looking at it  :lol: .  And if something comes up which looks better than something I've already got (and, naturally, haven't used yet) I can't resist buying it....

Yeah, I didn't believe that one from TwinFan either, it's almost pathological with those two... Remember when Pearly Gates first turned up?

Denial isn't just a river with those two...  :P

I never actually say "that's it, I'm not buying anything else ever" (but don't bother searching, it'll probably turn out I have said it  :roll: ).   I do go on a lot about having to sell stuff before buying something else.... and then I buy it anyway.  :|

No, that'll be me....

And just to add weight to your scenario, I have the body and all the metal parts for the guitar.... but still haven't ordered the pickups or scratchplate.  So it could be a little way off....

I'd never be able to fit all those drawers.  The space is full of old broken guitars, necks and bodies....
