2 Piece Constructed Neck: Versatility and Customization

On the other hand, if you're in search of a neck with a separate fingerboard, the 2 piece-constructed neck is worth considering. This type of neck features a distinct fingerboard attached to the neck, usually made of maple for its bright and articulate tonal characteristics.

The advantage of a 2-piece neck lies in its versatility. By using different materials for the neck and fingerboard, guitar manufacturers can achieve specific tonal qualities to cater to different musical styles. Additionally, the separate fingerboard allows for customization in terms of wood selection and aesthetics, giving you more control over the overall look and feel of your instrument.

Orientation*

For the most part, right and left-handed necks are self-explanatory.

The only real differences between a true lefty neck and a reverse righty neck are the location of the side dots, the way the nut is slotted for strings, and some back profiles. All of these depend on whether or not the neck is being crafted for right-handed or left-handed play.

Scale Length (Conversion)*

The selections available in this drop-down menu are designed for the conversion of a standard 25.5" scale Strat or Tele style guitar into a Baritone Guitar. These options are specifically tailored to fit within certain scale lengths and fret counts. It's important to note that these scale and fret choices are only compatible with a guitar having a 25.5" scale and a standard 3" long neck pocket.

Shaft Wood*

Rock Maple: This is a versatile wood and a mainstay of the music industry. It works well with different body types and offers balanced tone with good overall sound.

Quarter Sawn Maple: This type of maple is known for its straight, strong, and rigid nature due to its 90-degree grain orientation. It enhances brightness and sustain in your tone and tends to require fewer adjustments. It is also less susceptible to seasonal shifting and changes.

Birdseye Maple (Select/Premium/Private Reserve): Birdseye Maple is characterized by small dark grain swirls or circles called "Birdseyes." The select grade has 2A-3A figuring, the premium grade has 4A quality, and the private reserve includes 5A+ and rare, unique examples of this wood type.

Pau Ferro: Pau Ferro is a tonewood that offers both great looks and sound. It belongs to the rosewood family and has a rich medium to darker tan/brown color. It serves as an affordable alternative to all-rosewood necks.

Indian Rosewood: Indian Rosewood is a top contender and a classic choice for warm, rich tone with good sustain. It offers a darker wood option for guitar necks, albeit at a higher price due to its rarity.

Limited Quantity Quarter Sawn Flame Maple: This is a special offering of curly flamed quartersawn maple for necks. Combining the rarity of quartersawn wood with flame figuring, it provides rigidity, stability, and brighter clear tones, along with an attractive appearance. It is available in Select Grade (3A figuring) and Premium Grade (4-5A figuring).

Please note that these descriptions are for informational purposes, and it's always a good idea to consider personal preferences and try out different wood options to find the best fit for your desired tone and aesthetics. If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to ask!

Fingerboard Wood*

Rosewood: Rosewood is a commonly used wood for Fingerboards due to its durability, smooth texture, and rich tone. Different types of rosewood, such as Indian Rosewood and Brazilian Rosewood, offer distinct visual and tonal characteristics.

Maple: Maple is another widely used wood for Fingerboards. It is known for its bright tone, excellent sustain, and smooth playing surface. Maple fingerboards often have a light color and attractive grain patterns.

Ebony: ** Please note: As with alot of other woods, current day Ebony is not quite the same as it was years ago. It is not always completely jet black with no streaks or marks. True jet black Ebony is very rare and hard to come by these days. Most boards will have some very light streaking or minor variations in the wood which only affects the look of the wood slightly - it still has that same sleek feel and great tonal characteristics. If you order Ebony please understand that we cannot guarantee that it will be the traditional jet black version - it will likely have some very minor discolorations or streaks in it which is the accepted "new norm" industry wide.

Macassar Ebony: Macassar Ebony is a variant of ebony with distinctive dark brown stripes running through its black background. This wood offers a unique aesthetic appeal while maintaining the tonal qualities and durability of ebony.

Pau Ferro: Pau Ferro, also known as Bolivian Rosewood, is a South American wood species that is becoming increasingly popular for fingerboards. It features a reddish-brown color, attractive grain patterns, and a warm, balanced tone.

Cocobolo: Cocobolo is an exotic wood known for its vibrant colors, ranging from reddish-brown to orange with dark streaks. It offers excellent sustain, a rich tone, and a visually stunning appearance.

These are just a few examples of the wood choices available for Fingerboards. Each wood type has its own unique characteristics, such as tonal properties, visual appeal, and feel under the fingers. It's essential to consider your personal preferences, playing style, and desired sound when choosing the right wood for your Fingerboard.

Standard 2mm side markers: We provide standard 2mm side markers in a large variety of materials. These side markers are typically used for their functionality and serve as visual reference points on the side of the Fingerboard.

50/50 side dot placement: For 2-piece necks, we offer 50/50 side dot placement. This means that the side dots will be placed straight down the seam of the 2-piece neck, with half on the Fingerboard and half on the neck. This placement is reminiscent of the classic style used in the past.

Larger 3/32" dots: We also offer larger 3/32" side dots in black or white. These dots were standard on vintage Blackguard necks and are known for their larger size, providing better visibility on the side of the Fingerboard.

Luminlay Glow-in-the-dark side dots: Our newest addition to the side dot options is the Glow-in-the-dark side dots. These dots have a special feature that allows them to glow in the dark. They come in two colors: blue and green. The glow-in-the-dark feature ensures visibility in low-light or dark environments, aiding in keeping your position on the Fingerboard.

These various side dot options cater to different preferences, allowing our customers to choose the style, size, and material that best suits their needs and desired aesthetic.
