Fair selling price for a Wildwood Thin Skin '65 neck?
Got a Warmoth 10-16" roasted maple replacement Jm neck that is a huge improvement over the stock neck in terms of feel/playability... after my luthier burnished it, the roasted maple feels like the smoothest neck i ever played. Have no real use for the stock 9.5 radius neck, and luckily the serial number is not on the neck but the neck mounting plate.

I would say $550-700. I have seen 65AV necks sell in that range. What color is the headstock?

Keep the original neck in case you ever decide to sell, that way you can keep the Warmoth.

I really agree with MatthewK. Unless you really, really need the cash, you will seriously damage resale value of the guitar. The guitar is worth much less with the Warmouth neck, no matter how much better it is for you.

The neck is the whole guitar and this case its doubly true. Sell the guitar if you dont want the neck.

I'm a staunch believer in doing what you want to your own guitar. That being said parting with the neck would be a huge mistake.

I would say 500-700 dollars is probably fair. That being said its got a painted headstock which might make it a bit more difficult to unload.

Difficult to unload, and also shortsighted since anyone who wants a thinskin wants it because of the neck. Painted headstocks and bound necks don't grow on trees.

It would sell fairly easily for $500-600 on Reverb I reckon.

That was the whole pun!
Subtlety doesn't come across well on the internet.
