I just thought that the other set you'd pictured ruined the vintage vibe of the EJ.
What's wrong with the original ones?

Install a set of Kluson Deluxe repros and be done with it.

You're right Chris .. I felt that way too .. it was difficult to consider the idea of a different look on such an iconic guitar ..

Arjay that Kluson set may be exactly what's installed after the fancy buttoned Gotoh SD91MG-T price gets quoted .. :shock:
Here's my reasoning .. or a reasonable facsimile ..

I like locking tuners for ease of use & stability and the thumbscrew type work better for me and subsequent owners too I imagine ..

I didn't buy the original neck .. being an "EJ" they are overpriced to start with & after 12 years of heavy usage needed new frets, dressing, etc. ..
All of that made a new one from Stratosphere look like a bargain ... :shock: :shock:
Then this neck fell into my lap .. where I find most of my good stuff .. anyway ..

So for about 2/3 off a new EJ neck price:
new Warmoth Pro Modern .. highly flamed maple .. quartersawn .. macassar ebony fretboard .. MoP dots & gloss vintage tint ..

I've wanted to try a Warmoth neck for a long time .. Xhefri is featuring their bodies quite a bit these days ..

Now all that's left is finding the right set of Tuners .. it IS a loaded EJ body after all ... :lol:
