What To Expect When You Buy A Replacement Guitar Neck
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 фев 2020
- The subject of necks has been coming up a lot lately... There seems to be some confusion about what you actually get when you buy a replacement... for whatever reason. I have never seen a neck that is completely ready to go, right out of the box. Some are better than others but they all need to be tweaked a little bit to play the best they can. It might be slight adjustments or sometimes this means, truss rod wrenching, fretwork, deepening or widening the nut slots , finish etc. In these videos we will touch on some of the things you should expect to have to deal with when you buy a new, replacement neck.

Great vid. I got a Musikraft neck last year for my Tele, and it's great. I did have to let it settle in for a couple of weeks after I attached it before I could do I final setup, but haven't had to touch it since.
Good piece of gear then
Hell yea man 🤘 thanks a lot. Just bought a cozart with a clear coated maple neck and fret board.. I would like the clear coat if it were a darker wood. I’m gonna try at changing the neck soon thanks man🤘
Down and dirty replacement neck inspection guide, thumbs up! keep rockin.
Thanks brotherman
So excited!
Sending it out today
Texas Toast Guitars cue the evil laughter and hands rubbing together!
Cool vid Matt
Thanks for watching brotherman
Can you replace the neck on an old kent acoustic/ electric
How and why would anyone "thumbs down"? This is a simple and informative DIY starter video. Haters gonna Hate I guess. Keep up great work Matt!
They hate me cuz they ain't me?
2 haters before 9am Eastern - Matt is hittin' the big time!
@@donvanco3078 I got 3 now... maybe people who bought a craptastic neck from ebay
It’s happened to me more than once, where I’ve pressed the “Like” thumbs up and for some reason it shows as a thumbs down. I’ve read comments where this has happened to other people. I’ll give these people the benefit of the doubt, but if they purposely pressed thumbs down, then they’re monkey spankers in my book!
It might seem like over simplified knowledge, but it really is necessary and thank you!
Thanks for watching brotherman
👍
Only thing you forgot was acclimatization.
Let it sit for a while if it comes from far away and has to deal with some climate changes. Doing this with no stress from truss rods or strings is a must in my opinion (for what it's worth).
Love the neck you made for me and was an extra bonus when I was able to pick it up in person cause I happened to be in Denver that week from the other side of the globe!
take care ✌
PS, loving the look of the Daily Driver, just need to reverse that headstock ;p
Thanks brotherman, good advise. There are more videos coming this week
You mentioned heal adjust truss rods. Is there any advantage to having a heal adjust? Seen a few electrics, but mostly acoustics.
I like them because I like the way they look, they are a pain in the ass though
Hi Matt could you please send link to exactly which trussrod you use in your necks I want to make a headstock adjustment neck but can’t find a rod suitable without having tilt back headstock which I don’t want. Cheers!
More coming on this soon, in the mean time check out the truss rods at Bitterroot Guitars
I have a total of 6 guitars, 2 are Warmoth conversion necks, which have been continuous problems.
That's a bummer. I have an old Warmoth neck that is pretty excellent
I ordered a maple neck with maple fretboard And Got a maple neck But rosewood fretboars
Great vid Matt. See the guy asking about kits in the comments? Well, if you make a neck, and make a body, that’s a kit! Throw in some hardware maybe? I know Precision custom fits the parts - I’m sure Texas Toast would do the same. A short video series on making a neck and a body as parts for sale? I figure you’ve got a lot of subscribers interested in diy guitar building that don’t have the pin routers. Just a thought. I don’t think they expect it to be cheap. I think they know if you and Chris made it, it would be high quality!
We have always made bodies, necks, etc. for people who want to dabble in building guitars. We offer classes in addition to the numerous RUclips videos and even rent shop space for people who want to build guitars but have no tools. I think people should know that we are here to help.
In my experience, when people say words like "kits" they are not thinking about the money we would have to charge. Maybe I'm wrong but I think people expect kits to be cheap regardless of quality.
Lets find out... I'll do a video about bodies and necks and see what the response is. If we sell any at all I'll owe you a beer.
Well then. I’ll buy the neck and body you do for the video. I don’t expect it to be cheap.
Need me some of those allen keys brotherman😎
They are a good deal too, under 5 bucks
I have a maestro flying v and wanted to put a full size neck on it any ideas?
I'm sorry, but I don't
Damn it Matt, how in the HELL did I not know you TEXAS Boys make and sell bolt-on replacement necks!
I know, my bad, I take full ownership of my ignorance! Thanks Man for the AWESOME content, always informative...
Thanks my friend
However, we no longer offer this service
How much for a telli squire neck
I'm sorry Ron but we no longer offer custom built parts, only complete guitars
but can a 22 fret strat neck go on a 21 fret strat ? that is the question
Sure
Do you guys sell guitar kits??
Hi Jaime, We will sell you parts like necks and bodies and even hardware like bridges and tuners but we do not sell low price kits like you see on ebay
@@TexasToastGuitars Yeah I know that they are not that low cost crap. Carvin, Keisel stopped selling good quality kits. I'm just trying to find something to replace Carvin. Thanks for the information.
Jaime Anderson I think I might be able to help you
@@robbyfowler2286 well give me a link or something
Jaime Anderson send me a message on my reverb page reverb.com/shop/robbys-gear-locker-3
My experience of buying lower cost necks is that the heel dimensions vary, so they frequently won't fit bodies from another source. Fretwork often looks superficially OK and even looks like the frets have been levelled and polished to some degree, but you will often find frets that have not be fully inserted and frets where the ends are floating in space and wont tap down. With fretwork this poor, attempting to level without fixing these problems is a waste of time. I'd really like to get some of the Bitterroot hex keys BUT ... the shipping to the UK shows as over $80 !! And I would likely have to pay 20% import tax plus £12 handling.
Sounds right, I'll try and see if I can stomach a craptastic neck set-up video
@@TexasToastGuitars I know what you mean 8-)) I have been stupid enough to buy several craptastic necks and I'm really putting off trying to fix them.
So any tips would be great, particularly if you can show techniques for hand tools only as well as machine assisted. I 'aint got no machinery :-((
By the way - I have just been checking the truss rod on a Chinese made Squier. I though it was single action, so I started to unscrew the nut so I could lubricate it. Then I noticed it was actually forcing the walnut fillet out of the truss rod access hole (I don't think it was glued in very securely). Surely double action rods aren't supposed to push against that fillet? Maybe its just because its Chinese and the truss rod nut (3/16 key) is bigger than the hole in the fillet. Or are all the truss rods with a fillet like that?
Has the duck season started?
I don't know, contact the Colorado Division Of Wildlife
@@TexasToastGuitars It's always Dipshit Season in the RUclips comments section.
EB0! EB0! EB0! EB0!
Soon my friend
Maybe give it a once over. TWICE! HAHA
Thank you to the band X for that inspiration
im sorry i cannot hear you properly, I'm on max volume
I'm sorry too
@@TexasToastGuitars it’s okay ☺️
Get drunk !lol
It's good advice
Tbh that Chinese neck looks leaps and bounds better than your guitar hero neck. Best not to talk shit about other necks if yours looks like a fucking video game neck
Your sister
@@TexasToastGuitars wow, great response. Dude seriously don’t send that les Paul neck to a customer looking like that
I thought it was a really funny joke... Just like you
@@TexasToastGuitars seemed kinda personal to me. Like did I say anything about your boyfriend or husband? Come on brah
@@GoodwillGremlin hahaha
I admit that's pretty good.
