Hi guys,

Bought this off the ‘bay not long ago. After a short stint in quarantine I was able to get her out. Looks actually better than it did in the auction pics. I was worried because there looked to be significant scratching on the top, luckily the seller was just trying to be very honest and the scratches can be barely seen.

Sooo... now that I have the body I need a neck and a Floyd. My goal is to not spend a ton of $$

I’m thinking a decent gotoh Floyd type bridge. I have some pickups I could throw in.

I do need help with a neck. I ordered a warmoth neck that was the standard thin 1 11/16 at the nut for another guitar. While it’s nice I’d like something thinner.

That being said if you have a neck lying around please let me know!

Do you need a neck that will accommodate a locking nut? I have a Squier Strat neck that has a 1-5/8" nut slot (there's no nut installed), but you would have to file a ledge for the locking nut.

Thanks Mossman. I think i'm going to try and go with more of a PRS style neck.
