If you could pick any neck off the rack, what would you grab?

Me, I'd try a John Mayer neck, just cause they're so damn expensive parted out and I already have a srv sig...

Otherwise a classic player 60's neck with the 12" radius and medium jumbo frets, no skunk stripe...

My favorite Fender neck was a Classic Series 60s with the 7 1/4" radius and vintage frets. It felt great in my hand and I loved the looks of it as you say with a rosewood board and no stripe. It was a cool guitar, and I sold it a few months ago. I will definitely have to get another in LP blue one of these days.

off the rack spec guitar.

the vintage noiseless and tbx tone with midboost is awesome.

second would be the am deluxe v neck, which i do have.

I think I would pick the Jeff Beck strat. I had a Clapton Strat, and I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. I think the Beck Strat is closer to what I would like in a strat.

The neck on my AVRI '62 is perfect. So is the Allparts neck on my Tele. Both are 7.25 radius and have a glossy finish.

12" radius, medium jumbo frets and a soft v profile. Oh rosewood and vintage noiseless. No S-1 or other tricked out options that go bad. Personally, I love many of the colors strats come it. I would take one of each color with the same neck profile on each.

The neck, the whole neck, and nothing but the neck at this time, please.
I have no doubt that some one will have us address electronics, and finishes at a subsequent posting. :wink:
