Hi all,
I'm a babe in the woods when it comes to this stuff.
Beyond folks like Stew Mac, I've talked to both Warmouth as well as GuitarWorks-USA and neither can supply me with a 1 7/8" neck with a blank straight paddle head that I can shape.
Are there any other outfits out there that can do something a bit more custom neck-wise?

Also, a 1 7/8" neck will require a wider tail piece (2 5/16" string spread) than I've been able to find as well as now I have questions on whether stock pickups assemlies (a' la' Stew Mac's Golden age Strat assembly) will work properly when the string are this far apart).

I'm grateful for any and all suggestions or advice.
Best!

I can supply you with a neck, PM me for price.
If the heel is 2.25 inches, then you can work with stock hardware, pickups, etc.
