Blocks and Binding Jazzmaster neck

[johneggplant]

I am starting a jazzmaster project with a warmoth body and have decided that a B&B neck is a necessity, however warmoth neck's blocks are too small and just don't look correct, I don't really have the skill to make one myself, and i want it to look legit. If anyone knows anyone who will make them or a place to buy authentic ones please help me out on this one. I already got the sea foam green nitro finish, gold anodized pickguard, white witchhats figured out, but i'm stumped on the neck. Finding one on ebay is such a rarity especially the neck alone, and then its vintage, and then its waaaay to much moneys. Any help appreciated, tthanks and good day to you.....

I was on this kick a couple years ago, searched hi and low and had no luck. Your best bet is probably to hit up one of the many talented luthiers here at OSG to build you one.

Musikraft will do blocks and binding ($80-90 for block inlays, same for binding). You can go to their site and get a quote on how much it'll cost you.

Advice taken, found i guy named Paul, his work is good enough to be fender custom shop, gunna do B&B on a neck for me for $350, super excited

Hopefully it is not Paul1k. He scammed at least one person on ebay turning a normal neck into a bind and block. His work was ok, but definately not professional grade work. Be careful. I would go with a company if I were you.

I cringe looking at B and B necks now...

Guitarmill build these necks. I have a couple of them and they're top notch in terms of quality and vintage correctness.
Paul Rhoney (stereordinary) also do them, a great builder here or OSG.

I am a big fan of that Paul.

Sorry to hijack/reanimate this thread...but as this is an old question with surely a dozen of threads about it... I didn't want to start a new one. That's the only one google spit out.

Does anyone know the work of this seller on ebay? jagnjazzmaster sounds promising and like it could even be someone of this very forum!

Shipping from Australia but not a clear mentioning of where it was built.
CBS neckshape looks good to me and the Block inlays look better then on any Mexican Fender (at least speaking of size).
EDIT: dropping in the pic directly from ebay didn't work so here is link to the neck I liked somewhat best: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-2019-CBS ... nav=SEARCH

Also it hasn't the neck access trussrod like the one I bought last summer that still rests in the box it was shipped in.
What's your regarded opinion on this matter?
The price is ridiculously cheap (I payed more than 300€ for mine) and I somehow gave up trying to get one local (that is not attached to a vintage guitar I can't afford and don't want to buy neither).
Thank you!

I have one and like it a lot. Mine was coated in thick poly, too thick to fit the neck pocket, not lacquer as the seller said but I spent some time removing it and giving it a proper finish. I would buy another If I wanted a B&B again.

Thank you Ken!

The first frets look a bit odd on the ones in the link...somehow the Block appears not to be centered. But yours looks really cool!
Your's is the Strat/Jazzmaster head-shape, right?

[kdanie]

I believe so, I've never put my JM template on it so don't know for sure. I'm FAR from a purist so don't really care either.
