DC KUNKLE Std. 28.625" S Baritone Conversion Neck Fret's done BIN $210.00

Description: This 28.625" scale neck is engineered to fit your fender 4-bolt S-style guitar body with no modification. Please not, this neck will not work on the 3-bolt body because the truss rod is in the way, you would have to drill the body to work with the 4-bolt mounting plate. I start with a 25.5" scale and move out from there. The specs are as fallows. This neck will have the fret level, crown and polish option as well. 1 Piece eastern hard rock maple with walnut skunk stripe and a S style peghead. Vintage style single action truss rod 13" Fretboard radius 1&11/16 nut width 2&3/16" Heel width (2.180-2.187") 1/8" Flat bottom nut slot (roughed in bone nut included, string slots cut in with round bottom nut files, left a little wide and a little tall to let you or your tech dial it into your taste, playable as shipped) 7/32" black position markers on fretboard 3/32" Black side dots Peg holes are step drilled to accept Gotoh style die-cast mini machine head tuners.

(NOTE IF YOU'RE GOING TO DRILL YOUR OWN HOLES, ALWAYS USE A SHARP/NEW 1/8" DRILL BIT AND SCREWS MADE TO WORK WITH BOLT ON MAPLE NECKS) A few tips if you're going to drill your mounting holes, first, a list of what you'll need. 1 Quick grip padded clamp. 2 Drill bits form 1/16"-1/4" in 64ths. New bits are recommended as they will not wonder nearly as bad as dull or owner sharpen bits will, also, you can use this approach to drilling your tuner screws as well as anything else that needs to be centered that's why the full set to insure you have the best possible fit for a variety of jobs. 3 A couple of old phone books or anything that will raise the body up, so the clamp doesn't touch your work surface.4 A reversable drill with a keyed chuck is best to ensure the drill bit doesn't pull out as your drilling the holes. The first thing to do is find the drill bit that just fits the holes in your body. Then clamp your neck to the body with the handle up.Place the body with the neck clamped on the books face up.Use a straight edge to check the alignment with the bridge.Tweak the neck as necessary to get the best alignment.With the clamp snug so the neck wont shift, stand the body up with the back of the guitar facing you.With the drill bit that just fits the holes in the body in your drill, (RUN IT BACKWARDS IN EACH HOLE) You're not trying to remove any material, you're just making a dimple in the center of the hole on the neck that will center your 1/8" drill bit.Now put your 1/8" drill bit in the drill, take one of your mounting screws and put it up against the drill bit. Make sure your drill bit sticks out of the drill the same length as the screw!Then run the drill in reverse again with the 1/8" bit in each hole to help center your bit. Now run your drill forward one hole at a time, eyeball the bit to keep it centered in the hole. Check between holes to make sure the drill bit hasn't pulled out or changed adjustment in any way.Now take the clamp off and clean up any sawdust or any foreign material that might cause problems. Place your neck back on the body, with one screw through the plate, place it in the hole and start it. Align the plate with the holes and place you screws through and tighten evenly. A minimum of two coats of nitrocellulose lacquer comes standard @ N/C.
