Hey, White Dog.

I've got a friend that's looking around for a strat rosewood and maple neck with a vintage maple tint (aka, more yellow), much like the Mark Knopfler signature guitar. He wants medium-jumbo frets and I was wondering if you know a place that might have them and of good repute in Canada or the States.

He already has that neck but with jumbo frets and he would need to get it refretted to a smaller size and is afraid it would be badly done or isn't properly feasible. What do you think? Bring it to a luthier? make a new one? website that specializes in discarded strat necks?

Stewart MacDonald (http://www.stewmac.com/)is probably the best, although it isn't particularly cheap. Guitar Fetish do necks and don't appear to be too unreasonably priced (http://www.guitarfetish.com/). Honestly I'd take it to a luthier or decent tech. Refretting isn't particularly fun to do, but it's not hard. Might be expensive though (I probably couldn't charge less than £60 as it takes a while), I'd take it to a luthier/tech and see what they say at least.

There is also a comedy option, which is to buy 10 necks off alibaba.com, keep one and flip the rest on ebay for profit. Not the sanest idea though.

Replaced the stock cream pick guard, knobs and pickup covers with the black, I'm strongly considering putting black pickup covers on too.

if your friend cares about quality warmoth/allparts (which are made in fender's japanese factory)/usacg are his best bets. stewmac's necks are rebranded mighty mites, which aren't that good for what they charge. honestly stewart macdonald is overpriced in general

Howe Gelb sometimes plays a Gretsch Rancher with a DeArmond pickup and it sounds great - but that Biggsby is off the chain stupid.

FUN FACT: Misha Mansoor rushed the stage during a Fair to Midland set and stagedove me while I was distracted. Ended up straining my neck, and had to miss the next day at work.

Who stagedives during another band's set? That's just poor comportment.
