The Stratosphere's got WD licensed Strat and Tele necks for $89:
https://stratosphereparts.com/new-wd/
I have a WD baritone neck that I bought a while back, and while I haven't gotten around to building that guitar yet, the neck looks every bit as good as any Allparts neck I've ever bought.
These necks have modern specs... 10" radius, modern 'C' profile. I was kinda bummed out about the prices of Allparts necks going up, so I was glad to come across this.

That is a good deal, unfortunately my tele aready has a modern spec neck ( American Special ). If they had one with tall vintage frets and big fat vintage C profile i'd be all over it.

WD has other necks with different specs, but they don't cost $89... They're closer to $200. I've got more necks around here than I need, but I figured we've got people around here paying $80 for Chinese necks these days who might be interested in this. I think this is a superior alternative.

What a good deal. Thanks.
If they had a 7.25 available, I'ld buy one or two.

Wow that's a good deal - thanks for sharing. I have a WD on my barncaster and it's pretty nice. 12" radius and a bit chunky - feels really good.

That is a pretty good deal . . . though at that price I'm used to getting the tuners too, and having the neck attached to a body, and having all the rest of the parts installed in said body.
Seriously though, those necks look pretty nice. Thanks for the heads up.

Nice heads up... or is it "necks up"
I agree with toomanycats, I've always wished that I could buy something like a basic squier level of quality without pickups and components (however little they cost) and just build "up" instead of "upgrade". But separate parts like that + S&H ends up way more.
I want to try applying a waterslide decal at some point. Really happy with how TruOil works, right over poly.
