    Default Neck for my Deluxe Players Strat

    I'm not saying I need a new neck. I like the neck on my Strat. However, I am toying with the idea of getting a different kind of neck.

    Initially I had though of getting another Strat with a different neck, but that will cost me. Instead, maybe I should just a buy a good neck on eBay or something and slap it on my existing Strat?

    I am not quite certain which kind of neck I really want. I like the Telecaster necks, they are fast and slim. I like this 12" radius neck I have, but it's a bit hard to play faster stuff on (although maybe that is good so I can slow down ).

    I will go and try different some different types of Strats in a store and make note what kind of neck and neck radius is on each.

    So with all that rambling, what are some good options for buying necks? Bloozcat mentioned Mighty Mite, and there's Warmoth.

    I am looking for a quality neck with medium or medium-jumbo frets. I like quite big frets - makes it easier to bend. Maple fretboard preferred but rosewood would work too. I am not looking for the cheapest decent neck - I'd rather pay more and get a really good one.

    I really like that neck on my guitar, one of the best features in my opinion. But I wasn't sure if that was the kind of radius you were looking for. I was pretty sure Tone would bring it up. I think it fits the bill otherwise. Take a road trip on down here and you can check out the fires and try it out on my guitar!

    I'll make you a deal: I'll sell you my Squier '51 neck for 1/10th that. Since it's a '51, it must've been made about 1951. I'll even pay for shipping.

    Tone, do you think the screw holes will line on with my Deluxe Player's body?

    He's asking about my MIM neck.

    Don't know. Take some measurements and email them to me at yahoo. I'll check mine. Get me measurements of your heel cavity on the body and the actual neck and all the measurements on can on the hole locations. I'm on holiday now so email me at yahooski.

    I should probably try a neck with 7.25 radius too, since I've never played one of those.
