I second what @MC-Canadastan suggest, there is a youtube video of a guy using a heatgun and scraper to take off Stingray paint. I was going to do it to my black one, but I got lazy and just bought a BFR Slugger that is natural with satin finish. It looks like your Dart.
@Barney - how did you do this?
Oh man, this is gonna be sick
Those knobs!
Perfect
I’d look at Warmouth, lots of good options to customize a bit.
Better deal. @Barney feel free to get whatever you want, as long as it’s roasted maple
Thanks @AnotherJosh I’m leaning that way. Reverb is odd sometimes for delivery to Canada. That guys shipping is more than the cost of the neck.
Check out Freestone necks. I have one on my 54P and it, I dare say, is as good as my Warmoth and is much prettier. https://freestoneguitars.com/
Those are really nice necks…
And for good bodies cheap…Rosser Guitars, LLC | eBay Stores
Isn’t Allparts the go-to place for replacement Fender necks? They ship to Canada from the US, so maybe not that expensive?
Yeah, and I know Warmoth is officially licensed by Fender to make replacement necks. Both should be drop in perfect fits.
It begins…
I tried sanding the finish off on the heel and it was thicc AF and somehow I started sanding it not-flat sooo I left it alone for now. Tomorrow I’ll unclamp it, cut off the extra dowel bits, drill it out, and see what happens
yes.
