guys, i need a replica style neck for my 60 rebuild. i was thinking warmoth, i can live with cream dots. i have other bodies and necks from them and the parts are high quality. and i have seen the musikkraft website... Which do you recommend?
BTW i am completely sold on OLD wood. the tone is to die for....

I've looked at a few firms for necks.  If you go with Warmoth, make sure you get the vintage neck with heel truss adjustment, or new vintage, with headstock end adjustment.  That side heel adjustment on their "pro" necks looks like on over-engineered nightmare to me.  I'm looking for a 12-string neck and so far USACG is at the top of my list.

I'm thinking Musikraft would be good, they have the proper headstock...
