Allparts D&B Jaguar necks group order (it is possible!)
Hello funky (offset) people.
As a follow up to the new maple Block and Bound necks from Allparts that I stumbled apon I got in touch with them asking about D&B Jaguar and Jazzmaster necks.
Good news for the Jazzmaster folks - they got a batch on the way...
But Jaguar not yet... they told me that they can only order them if I/we take 30 necks for a special order - but this could (not sure about it yet) also mean that we have a saying in the specs. I don't have any specifics yet (price or specs) but this is a good starting point (basically them replying so fast and with that option of getting some already made my da! ).
Can we please order 30 Jaguar necks with Binding together?
GilmourD, Copacetic Custom and all you other assembly masters - this is our chance!
I already got five B&B necks but only one D&B. Who else has these underrepresented in their collection?

Re: Allparts D&B Jaguar necks group order (it is possible!)
I'd be up for one of these, been thinking about an upcoming project due to all the parts I have laying around and all I need is a body and a neck.
Happy to go with the majority but my preference would be kind of chunky and 9.5" (AO Jag style ideally)

I'm in! I'm open to different neck profiles and radii as long as it's not a 50s LP baseball bat. And please no narrow tall frets!

Depending on price I'd def. be interested. Hard to find a good D&B Jaguar neck
+1 on the 9,5. A Marr neck with binding would be a dream come true.

Same with the chunky 9.5" for me!Steadyriot. wrote: ↑Wed Aug 23, 2023 11:58 amDepending on price I'd def. be interested. Hard to find a good D&B Jaguar neck

The primary deciding factors for me would be the when and the how much.
Now, are we thinking finished or unfinished?

Re: Allparts D&B Jaguar necks group order (it is possible!)
The when is an interesting question - as those things can take time - here is what they replied to my pricing question:
„The bound version of the JGRO would likely be priced closer to $297 retail cost, unfinished. Finished would be closer to $450-$500 range. We won't know the exact cost is until we have our supplier quote us for the custom necks.
We have a TON of new necks being cut right now that we won't see until Dec at the earliest. It's possible we may not be able to get the JGROs until early next year.“
So I‘m estimating ~ 6 months waiting time at the least (to stay realistic).
But they also offered me to be part of their wholesale program which would have some very clear benefits.

Well, then, I should be financially good to go for that by that point. Just right now I'm paying down a few debts (or my own making).MayTheFuzzBeWithYou wrote: ↑Wed Aug 23, 2023 11:51 pmThe when is an interesting question - as those things can take time - here is what they replied to my pricing question:

So, count me in and let's figure out how this works. Do we set the spec or is it the current JGRO plus binding?

Re: Allparts D&B Jaguar necks group order (it is possible!)
Update:
Spec-wise we can choose:
„Headstock shape
Fret size
Nut width
Thickness of neck (from the 1st to the 12 fret)
Neck profiles – C, Chunky C, Soft V
Heel shape
Neck woods: Supplier only offers maple
Fretboard woods: Maple, rosewood, or ebony
Finished or unfinished
All necks in the box have to be the same. There can be no variants. Necks are also non-returnable if woods are deemed undesirable by the buyer. Unfortunately, our supplier does not grade the woods before production.“
Shall we do this?
So far we are at ~10.
30 are needed.

I’d just order a Parklane neck for that kind of money. Best neck I’ve ever had (vs Fender, Musikraft, Allparts, Warmoth, etc)

How have I never come across them before? They have amazing options like channel binding and zero frets that you do not normally see on Fender-style necks.
I'm short one neck if I want to finish assembling all the bodies and parts lying around here. Will give them a serious look when the time comes.

Re: Allparts D&B Jaguar necks group order (it is possible!)
Just went through the configurator and with zero finish it came to $430 the way we could get the AllParts set up for under $300. I mean, I'm sure it would be gorgeous, but "for that kind of money" is not that the same amount of money.
Also... As an IT guy... That configurator could be tightened up into one page without having to add everything as a separate item purchase... It's a bit overwhelming as it is.

Re: Allparts D&B Jaguar necks group order (it is possible!)
So..just confirming something. All 30 of us would have to agree to the exact same specs? or they will do individual specs just as long as 30 necks are ordered?
