(+) New neck but listed as used, as while never previously installed the side Gotoh truss adjustment was not functioning. I plugged this off and leveled. The heel truss adjustment works perfectly, and the neck is true with controlled relief.

(*) Final set-up may be required, whether the nut was factory installed or by myself. Please keep this in mind when purchasing, as each player is different in terms of action, relief and set-up.

(**) Oil finishes on necks, while highly popular and sought after, often do not conform to being covered by any manufacturer’s warranty. This isn’t meant to scare or dissuade prospective buyers as much as inform them that this process will likely need to be repeated in 6-12 months to ensure the longevity of this neck.
