Hello everyone, I'm looking to see if anyone knows of a shop that does custom acoustic guitar necks. I remember many years ago (I think it was on this forum), there was someone who offered custom necks and I even talked to that individual about it. However, I've been looking through the forum and all my emails and can't find anything! Thanks in advance! |

Andy Birko is it. His work is top notch. He is a sponsor here. Look above. Refresh page till u see it. He has a spreadsheet that you fill out with your specifications. It is fairly broad and includes most things u would expect. He uses high grade materials from Hibdon Hardwoods. |

There are domestic makers on Squeebay selling pre-carved necks, but I haven't purchased any. |

I sent Andy Birko a spectacular piece of wood and he made me a perfect neck out of it Ed |

Has anyone mentioned Andy Birko https://birkonium.com ? I have worked with a few others, but none with the attention to detail, and level of craftsmanship that Andy puts into in CNC work. |

You got a lot of good suggestions here, but I would recommend Andy Birko. He’s great and has done both guitar and uke necks for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Can someone recommend a pre-carved neck resource? |

Doesn't Andy Birko do that sort of thing? He used to hang out here. Maybe someone remembers what his business was called. |

I think a guy named Birko, or something like that" does that. Not sure lets see what others have to say. |

I don't know what you guys have against Birko. He made pretty good stuff for me. YMMV... |
