| Post subject: | Looking for painter and custom neck builder |
So I’m building a new Charvel style guitar I want to look exactly like the one here https://goo.gl/images/9HN5P7, with some email differences. I’m looking for someone who can do a sunburst exactly like this picture. I’m also looking for recommendations on the best neck builders who could construct a high quality neck just like the one pictured? The only difference I would want is a reverse fender style headstock instead of the pointed one pictured. Please recommend, if you can, painters and luthiers who would do great for what I’m trying to build. Thanks! |

I could do both of those projects for you..... While I am not in the bulk guitar finishing biz any more I am doing a few one off jobs like this and have time in my schedule. |

Most of the builders here can do both of those without a problem. I'd recommend Bryan for the finishing, and Birkonium CNC for the neck, although it would probably be easier to let Brian do both. |

Another vote for Brian, but you might be able to source what you want in a neck from Warmoth. Remember that if you are building the body and trying to fit to a neck, YOUR work has to be absolutely perfect - neck pocket, geometry, layout. Also when you say you want a neck "exactly like..." you either need to supply a donor neck to measure or all of the specifications - scale, widths, radii, shape and depth, the exact specifications of the pocket and holes, the frets and inlay and type of truss rod and so on. I have been asked on several builds to duplicate a neck, it really requires a donor. |
