Re: Obtained Musikraft neck! - What body should I get?

I got up to the office this morning and got the neck. The quality of the neck is great, the rosewood is beautiful. The only problem I have is the profile of the back of the neck is a little thicker than I'd like. I guess I can change that with a little sanding. I'll probably shoot it with some neck amber when I get the money for it. The headstock will be matching. More pics soon.

Hey David - do you happen to know the specific Musikraft neck profile for the neck you got? When you say it's "thicker" is that compared to vintage or AVRI or MIJ/CIJ. I've spec'ed out the neck features on the Musikraft site and there's several choices for the profile. Just wondering if you know what exactly yours is. Personally, I prefer a chunkier neck (a la MIM 60's Classic Strats).

Also, this is a shot in the dark but do you happen to have an Allparts JM body you could test fit your Musikraft neck into? I'm wondering if those two things are compatible. Thanks.
you give me flowers but it's thorns i give to you

I am comparing to my MIJ it's neck fits my hands perfect. This one is more classic vintage chunk, I am not sure if I am going to use it or not.

I just got a Musikraft JM neck as well.  Waiting to get it though, but this may be the perfect stopgap for a particular black '63 JM body, etc...

I had really good luck with a USA Custom body in ash. It was light too.  I also have a CIJ burst body I'd be willing to let you have. If you want to PM me, we can talk about it. I also have an AVRI body in Ice Blue Metallic, but that one I'm keeping.
