24" scale neck makers?
I'm putting together a semi-hollow jaguar and hope to have a neck with a Starcaster headstock. Haven't had much luck finding anyone online who does these 24" scale. Does anyone have suggestions?

Try asking warmoth. They make both 24" scale necks and starcaster necks. It would probably be a custom job though.

Warmoth's response was that none of the 24" tooling or fixtures would allow for any other pegheads.AcrylicSuperman wrote: ↑Tue Aug 27, 2019 10:08 amTry asking warmoth. They make both 24" scale necks and starcaster necks. It would probably be a custom job though.

Emailing them to check. Optimally this would be a 1 piece neck made of rosewood as well.solfege wrote: ↑Tue Aug 27, 2019 11:49 amMusikraft. https://musikraft.com/product-info.php?pid2155.html

Re: 24" scale neck makers?
I don’t think Musikraft has the Starcaster headstock programmed in their CNC. They might do a paddle head for you as a special order, if you have the means to complete it yourself.nbc580 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 27, 2019 12:55 pmEmailing them to check.

You might want to also look for a manufacturer that will make one for you with a paddlehead and shape it yourself. Outside that, you can get the patterns from Faction Guitars and make your own. His specialty pattern set includes Mustang/Jaguar 24" and Starcaster patterns.

Their custom neck page says you cannot use copyrighted headstock shapes.

Re: 24" scale neck makers?
Ok, so none of the “bigger” manufacturers are into it. There are a number of luthiers who
I’m sure would take the job on as a custom build...some of whom frequent OSG.

I have used a jaguar 24 neck by Allparts. Flawless qual. but it comes unpainted and you have to smooth the fret ends
