Jaguar maple black blocks and binding neck

Post by sammynb » Sat Feb 17, 2018 3:41 pm

I'm thinking about building/assembling a Jaguar and I'd like to put a maple with black blocks and binding neck on it.
With the exception of getting extremely lucky and a 1970s secondhand one magically making its way into my life, besides Warmoth, does anyone have any suggestions of where I could find one?

BGP might be able to build one for you!

https://www.bestguitarparts.com/

I'd email and see if they can build what your'e looking for. I was looking for a neck with blocks and binding and emailed Dan Strain (Danocaster) and he recommended BGP for necks with blocks and binding. Their prices are good compared with some of the other builders out there.

Good Luck!

Looks like they don't need or want the work as I emailed them a week ago and no answer.

Anyone else with a suggestion?

There's a similar thread about obtaining custom Jaguar necks in general here: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=107657

But the consensus is that BYOGuitars offers a multitude of options for a Jag neck (B+B as well) at a good price, but no one has tried them out, so everyone is a bit on the fence. Hope that can help you in your search!
