I think the main thing for me would be look and feel of the neck. I`m not sure how much it would effect the sound but I`m sure someone would say how much it really does and point out why? Different fretboards can make them sound bright or more mellow, (maple vs rosewood) so I suppose there is some truth to that. I know a real vintage neck as a replacement can run as much or more than a nice new guitar so that can be a toughie if your pinching your pennies. A neck like that is a good choice as long as you get one that feels right and maybe has a bone nut or a select material for a `best nut`. Also fit. Sometimes your new neck doesnt quite fit the holes on the old body so extra measures need to be worked out to make it whole, so thats another possible issue. I might try your guy for one as I have a guitar that could really benefit from a better neck. I love how it sounds (like a vintage strat) but the neck of visually off-putting.
@@leechild4655 yeah I’ll agree and admit, there is a lot to get hung up on about materials and details when swapping parts. There was just a huge baseball bat neck that was on this guitar before and simply just wasn’t comfortable to play. My 2 goals were playable comfort & relic match to the body. That’s it. You are totally right about vintage or custom shop necks. A fortune! I just went for it and it worked for me. Gave it a set up and now I’m happy with it. Check out Mr.g on eBay and hope you find something that works for you too! Thanks for your comment
