  Features: 10mm or 3/8" tuning holes for the modern standard tuning machine of your choice. Real mother of pearl and abolone dot inlays that just glimmer, if they're not real, they look real, looking far better than clay dots. Stainless steel frets that after a crown, level and polish look outstanding. Quality: Most people don't know this product is about 90% finished. The final holes for tuning machines are missing, it is missing pilot holes for the tail to body, frets REQUIRE a crown, level, polish and edge smoothing. The product is supposed to come this way. Do not think you can just buy this neck, bolt it to your strat and have a new smoking axe, a lot of work is involved with this change to your guitar. All that said, this is an outstanding neck providing you add the necessary elbow greese and skill or luthier services required to finally get it attached to your guitar. Value: Corian nut, birds eye maple neck with oil finish, birds eye maple finger board with mother of pearl and abolone inlays for a hundred bucks! Adding a neck of this quality as a requirement to any strat would easily add a 1000 dollars to the retail cost of that strat. Based on that, this is a smoking deal. Overall: My goal was to have a maple necked surf green strat with Seymour Duncan Hot, Cool and Vintage rails pick guard. This is the maple neck part of that goal. This neck exceeded my beauty expectaions. I began with a Squire Vintage Modified Surf Green strat and took that and this neck to my local Guitar Center garage in Tacoma for Ron to attach the neck. While Ron did his most excellent work, I built the SD Rails pick guard.
