JnL Neck Custom Build

1 Piece Constructed Neck: Solid and Stable

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.

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.

Jaguar 24" Scale – Replacement NeckLastly, let's discuss the Jaguar 24 inches scale length, which is the appropriate scale length for Fender Jaguar guitars. This shorter scale length offers its own distinct characteristics, setting it apart from other guitar types.

Standard Fender Scale 34" for BassMoving on to bass guitars, the standard scale length for traditional Fender-style basses such as the Precision Bass and Jazz Bass is 34 inches. The longer scale length in bass guitars has its own implications for playability and sound.

Nut width options available:

1-5/8" (41.28mm): This nut width is suitable for those with smaller hands or those who prefer tighter string spacing. It is a common nut width option.

1.65" (41.91mm): This size is popular among vintage 50's and 60's Fender necks. If you're aiming for an accurate nut width for vintage-style guitars, this is the appropriate choice.

1-11/16 (42.86mm): This nut width is commonly used on most modern necks. It provides a bit more space between the strings compared to the narrower options.

1-3/4 (44.45mm): This nut width is designed for those with larger hands, as it allows for even more space between the strings.

It's important to choose a nut width that feels comfortable for your hand size and playing style.

Only Offered in a 22 Fret Model

Heel Width

The heel width of a guitar neck refers to the measurement of the widest part of the neck at the butt end. For the G&L necks we offer, the default heel width is 2-3/16 inches (55.56 mm).

We prioritize accuracy to ensure that the neck you receive fits perfectly with your guitar. If you have any questions or need assistance in determining the width of your guitar's heel, please don't hesitate to contact us. Our team is here to help you make the right choice.

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.

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!

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.

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.

We offer a large variety of different fingerboard radius choices.

The radius of the fingerboard is expressed by a number (usually from 7-1/4″ to 16″). This number relates to the degree of curvature of the fingerboard from one side to the other when sighting the neck at the heel or headstock. The higher the number, the flatter the radius.

We also offer compound radius fingerboards. A compound radius fingerboard starts at one radius at the nut and flattens out as it transitions to the heel of the neck. The compound radius is very popular with players who like to do a lot of chording and soloing all over the neck.

We offer finger board edges in 3 varieties:

Squared OffThe fingerboard edge, from the side of the neck to the face of the fingerboard, is square-shaped. Some feel this is too sharp, others prefer it this way so they can do their own rolling of the edges.

Semi RolledWe roll the edges of the fingerboard just enough to break the sharp edge – without overdoing it – just enough to be comfortable. There is no extra charge for this.

Offered with 10mm Hole size only

Black top dots: We typically use black top dots for maple necks. These dots provide a contrasting visual appearance against the light-colored maple wood and offer clear visibility.

White or imitation clay top dots: For darker boards, we offer white or imitation clay top dots. These dots are chosen to provide good visibility against the darker wood of the Fingerboard.

Abalone dots: We also offer very nice abalone dots for modern enthusiasts. These dots feature the beautiful and iridescent properties of abalone shell, adding an elegant touch to the Fingerboard.

Authentic clay dots: For vintage enthusiasts who appreciate authenticity, we provide authentic clay dots. These dots offer a traditional and vintage aesthetic, reflecting the classic style of older instruments.

Rosewood dots: As a tribute to vintage Charvel fans, we offer rosewood dots. These dots are made from rosewood, matching the Fingerboard wood and providing a cohesive and vintage look.

These options cater to different preferences and styles, ensuring that our customers have a variety of choices when it comes to top dots for their Fingerboards.

German made Nickel Silver Wire: Our frets are made from 18% Nickel Silver, also known as German Silver. This material features a rich silver color that remains bright and tarnish-free over time. It provides dimensional accuracy, ensuring precise fret placement and a smooth playing experience.

EVO Gold Fret Wire: The EVO Gold fret wire is an alternative option for those who prefer a gold-colored look. This fret wire is slightly harder than standard nickel alloy but softer than stainless steel. It offers durability while maintaining good playability.

We take pride in providing high-quality fretwork, and we believe that our frets are among the best in the business.

Head-Stock Veneer

At our shop, we provide customers with the option of a thin, highly figured veneer for the face of the headstock. This veneer adds an elegant touch to the instrument and is typically around 1/32" thick.

At Musikraft, we value our customers' feedback and continually strive to improve our products. By incorporating extensive feedback from musicians like you, we have expanded our back profile offerings to cater to a diverse range of needs and requirements.
