Guitar parts buying help:neck

[Axehandle]

I am going to build myself a new guitar....I really dont want to tackle a neck on the first go though. I was wondering if there are any recommendations for companies. I will be looking for the other parts as well....I have some Ash for the body and currently play a tele so this will go humbucker....I really like the feel of the EVH Wolfgang neck...is there a company that sells those or a similar feel?

thanks for any input

ps: The building wont be a problem I am a competent woddworker...the setup may take a lil time tho

Outstanding Necks

Hey, Axe

Good luck with your project. Please post pix!

See http://www.carvin.com/products/parts.php?CID=KBN

There are options for headstocks, including blank so you can design your own. These are the same parts they use to build guitars, which have a great reputation for their necks and playability.

My main guitar for a number of years was a stew mac parts guitar with a $90 strat neck. It was a thinner Japanese style neck and plays quite well.

I've also heard good stuff about Carvin's bolt necks.
