Good neck for me
It works for its intended purpose. I doUnderstand it is a budget neck and am happy with it. The frets were level and the wood was not warped. It is a 12 inch radius. Good deal and would buy again

Well made neck
I got this neck for a Strat copy I bought a few years ago that for a while just sat in the case.The neck arrived and was well packaged and I didn't notice any nicks or scratches. The frets were well made and nicely filed. Had to sand down the bottom a bit to get it to fit in the pocket of the guitar body but it worked well. Loved that it was already straight so I didn't have to mess with the truss rod as much.Once the neck was bolted on, the feel of the guitar was instantly different (in a good way). Once the tuners, strings and saddles were adjusted and tuned I couldn't stop playing it.This was once a guitar that I was just "meh" with, but now I love it!!

Overall Good Neck. Some Extra Work Needed. Misleading Advertised Fretboard Material.
I've bought a few of these necks, and they have some minor issues, but overall, I'm satisfied with them. Although, one main thing that annoys me is that BexGears claim that the fretboard is "composite ebony," which is misleading because it doesn't actually have any real ebony wood in it. The fretboard is actually made out of ebonol, a synthetic composite material that's meant to look like ebony. Ebonol is very strong and is the superior fretboard material when it comes to helping keep the neck straight. It is also very resistant to cracking and warping whenever exposed to frequent humidity and temperature fluctuations. Another great benefit with an ebonol neck is that it requires absolutely no oiling maintenance whatsoever. It's most likely label "composite ebony" due to marketing reasons since real ebony wood is usually considered a well sought out fretboard material.The neck overall is indeed good though. The truss rod hole and tuner holes are perfectly lined up. Though once I ran into an inconsistent truss rod installation, which is concerning (see attached photo). The frets don't have any sharp ends and are closely level, but they still need a bit of extra work to get them perfectly leveled. The inlays are installed very well. The nut isn't 100% flush with the sides of the neck, but it can be fixed with some sanding (see attached photo). And lastly, one issue that I run into more often than not with the fretboards is that there are usually some sanding marks that stick out because they're going against the fretboard's grain pattern.Again, overall this is a good neck that just needs a bit of extra work if you want to get it just right.

Nut at wrong location, bad scale length
The nut is located such that the scale length is incorrect. It should measure 1/2 of 25.5” (12.75”) at the crown of the 12th. You can see that it is incorrect by my measurements as well as lining the neck up to a Fender neck at the frets. The result is that a guitar with this neck will not intonate correctly.I did not have high expectations for this neck. I build guitars and this neck was purchased with the intent of just using on mock-ups in the shop. It is not usable for that purpose. Because of the incorrect scale length I cannot use it to locate and install bridges on my builds.

Great neck at a great price!
This arrived today and I've gotta say I'm impressed. I haven't gotten to actually putting this on a body yet....but out of the box it was arrow straight according to my eyeballs and confirmed with a notched straight edge. Radius is also spot on. The frets are also all level and apper uniform. They're also smooth...I don't think a polishing job is needed but I can't for sure about that till I get some strings on it. The neck is also super smooth out of the box. I'm not sure what the sealent is they use but it's not at all sticky or tacky which should make for an easy playing neck. It's not 100% people fect tho. There are a couple of very small rough areas on the back of the head stock and the holes for the tuning pegs are also a little rough on the inside. But for the price those are very small issues that can be remedied easily....and lets be honest...if you're buying this neck you probably have the tools and basic know how to address this issues. It's also with noting that this neck isn't a drop in replacement for a fender neck if you're wantinng to use fender style tuning machines as it's not drilled for the two small retaing pegs fender machines have. The seller me ght want to update their listing to include that. Tho once again thats an easy fix with a drill. Overall I'm more than happy with this purchase and can't wait to strap this thing to my strat and take it for a spin!Edit: this thing was way to thick to fit my strat.

Received slightly unfinished
I was making a guitar and decided to order a neck because I wasn't going to have enough time to get it done if I were to make one. when I received the neck, it had a couple of rough unfinished spots on the headstock and on the side near the bottom of the neck.Although I did finish it just fine the build turned out great and am surprised at how well the neck actually is, I did not have to adjust it in any way

Amazing Neck
I never write reviews, but i feel like this will help people that were in my situation. Wanted a cheaper neck (others online are either CRAZY expensive or cheap with bad reviews), so i went with this one thinking there was a 50/50 it would be terrible.Ended up being amazing. Thought i would have to do tons of work to get it to be playable, but literally had to do nothing. There was no fret but and the nut seems to be cut very nicely. The neck feels great (on the slimmer side) and the holes were the right size for the tuners.I have zero complaints about this. Please do not spend 100s of dollars on a neck.

Frets not level
Overall build quality is actually fairly good, but one low fret means the neck is essentially unplayable. Bought this for an old project guitar and just now realizing it isn't actually playable with this neck. I've thought about pulling the fret and re-doing it but that is a ton of work for something that costs $60. Apparently their Quality Control is sub par. Would not buy again.
