Anybody know of a source for a pre-carved mahogany or sapele neck for a 000 type guitar - 24.9" scale, 14 fret to body? Seems the big players SM and LMII don't do these.

Carve it yourself.I`ve done a couple,and just love the scale length on a twelve fret.It`s really not that difficult,and a heck of a lot of fun. James |

James is right, of course. But John Watkins' cncguitarparts.com would be a good place to look first. |

The ones I see on CNC all have the skunk stripe. I prefer understated plain. |

Hi Rich, LMI does offer a 24.9" scale neck with Diamond Volute. Part Number WNCDMTOM1 http://www.lmii.com/CartTwo/thirdproduc ... Neck+Woods Hope this helps. Mike Franks |

I'd go with the 'carve it' school myself but this is another source of precarved necks, I think you can just about specify what you want and the prices seem very reasonable. http://www.hanalei-moon.com/id1.html Colin |

Ricardo, I purchased a solid mahogany, 24.9, 14 fret, slot head neck from Chris at Hanalei-Moon (John was still moving  ) and it was excellent. He will even do your peg head overlay and route your truss channel and supply a LMI truss rod if you wish. He also gives you a choice of heel syles and supplies the neck block and hardware as well.I know, I know, we should carve them ourselves but "sometimes" a CNC neck is soooo convenient. Ray |

http://www.hanalei-moon.com/ Chris hand makes his necks, not cnc. They are great. Any scale you want, darn near anyway you want them. I could be wrong here but John Watkins (CNC guitar parts) charges a one time setup fee for custom neck other than is standard inventory line of semi customs as does St. Lutherie. Common practice to account for programming labor. |

Mike, I don't believe the LMI neck you reference is dovetail. I'll check out the hanalei moon source. Thanks |
