offmybass Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I've recently picked up a Westone Thunder body that I'm going to try to make a project out of, my problem is I'm having difficulty finding a neck for it. Can't seem to find a matching neck for sale anywhere and the neck on my Fender Jazz doesn't look like it would fit, the neck pocket is roughly 63cmx85cmx15cm. Does anyone have any idea what sort of neck would fit? Trying to do it on the cheap so hoping the answer is something along the lines of a squire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myke Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Is your jazz neck too big or too small? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offmybass Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 I haven't actually taken it off but it looks a bit too narrow across the fret board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myke Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Oh, I thought if it was too big you could just cut the slot bigger but I dunno then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musky Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 If you don't take up Headofire on his offer you probably would be best off buying a cheap complete Thunder and using the best bits of each, selling what you don't need. There's a collect only Thunder on ebay at the moment for £75 if you live near Hampshire. If not they occasionally pop up for that sort of money anyway. I suspect you'll pay half that amount for a reasonable cheap neck in any case, and have the attendant problems with fit and intonation to deal with.

offmybass Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 Yeah man, how much do you want for it? The plan was to make it a fretless so that would be perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
