Alnicov Electric Guitar Neck 22 Fret Mahogany Neck Maple Fretboard with White Trapezoid Dots Inlay Natural For Gibson LP Guitars Parts Replacement

ReviewingAlnicov Electric Guitar Neck 22 Fret Mahogany Neck Maple Fret board with White Trapezoid Dots Inlay Natural For Gibson LP Guitars Parts ReplacementBought on Amazon 5-8-2023 Paid $53 and arrived, undamaged, a few days after order undamaged.Purchased this to use on a custom, light as a feather, T-style build where I will make the body from Spanish cedar in a Faux Melody Maker guitar.This neck is a medium semi 'c' profile, 25.5” fender scale, 22 fret, T-style heal with (seems like to me) dual action 4mm head truss rod, medium thin frets, fretboard radius appears to be 12" ,Mahogany (stated but looks like maple to me) with rosewood fingerboard. The headstock has a scarf joint and is tipped back like a 'gibson,style'Arrived with a slight back bow. Loosened the truss rod half a turn, out of the back bow area, thru the dual truss rod dead-zone area and added a little relief to get the neck straight enough that I could not fit a .003inch feeler gauge under the fret check. The frets were all level to 0.003” from 1-13 then there was a thousandth or two inches of fall off up to 22. Frets were all crowned and polished topside. There is slight sprout on a few of the fret ends as expected. The rocker does not rock on these thinish frets over .06” high so there is plenty of meat if it need subsequent leveling..The fingerboard wood ( could be rosewood?) is absolutely stunning. A little lemon oil really makes the grain pop. A few fret ends had tiny holes; but I can fill these with rosewood dust and CA when I sand the side of the fret board Dots are ROUND not trapezoidal as stated.The neck has no skunk stripe and looks like maple (not Mahogany). It has two figures in it. At first this looked like a defect that was patched, but inspection under 20x microscope reveals grain running through these figures….. Cool.The heal does not fit into my recent tele build where I fitted a Squire Bullet T neck to a body. It is a little fat for this pocket. No biggie I will be making a body from scratch and will match the neck to the pocket.

I received the wrong neck. this will work about the same price

This doesn’t have a rosewood, or even a solid wood fretboard. It’s some kind of particleboard, that may contain some wood. It’s a mystery and I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s also not finished enough to use as a fretboard.The nut was totally out of whack with the rest of the neck. One side is about an 1/8” short.Compared to other necks that can be cost a similar amount or just a bit more money, I think this one should either be priced around 20 bucks or so considering the work that is going to go into fixing the issues, assuming I can even make the fretboard functional.

I sanded the frets along the edges and then I screwed this neck to a Stratocaster body. I have always wanted a 3R 3L style head instead of a straight 6. My custom build is now 1 of a kind. I had to adjust the truss rod but I’m pleased with it. I put locking Hipshot tuners on and can’t stop playing this!

Product was as described and shipping was fast.. would purchase from them again

Item is NOT as stated. Description claims it is an Gibson LP replacement neck. It is 25.5 inch scale length which is a Fender type scale length. This needs to be corrected in the description. I will use this neck on a different project and save the hassle of return.Neck arrived poorly packaged with dents and divots on the head stock. Fret ends are sharp and finger board is dry, as expected, but both are manageable. Everything else looks pretty nice. One star rating is based on product not as described.

Neck had a slight twist in it and the frets were not seated properly.

Can not complain one bit about this neck. I had the usual concerns, fret sprouting, unlevel frets, crowning etc. There was none of that. I expected to have to do something with it but all I had to do was install it, saved me a bunch of time on my build and it plays and feels great!
