Looking for a Gibson neck

New Guitar Day? Obsessed with tone? 10 on the volume dial not enough? Celestion vs. Electrovoice? Cum in, feel the noize.

Looking for a Gibson neck

Post by paulman »

I've got this SG body, and I want to build a guitar specifically for slide. I love the idea of an SG for a slide guitar, as I live in Jacksonville which produced probably the two greatest slide players ever, Duane Allman and Derek Trucks (well ok, Duane wasn't from here but the Allman Brothers formed here). They both use/used an SG. I might even go full Jacksonville Jaguars and put teal trim on it.

Anyway, I need a neck. Fender-type necks are easy to find, but Gibson necks are a different story. Does anyone have any advice on where to find one, or maybe have one for sale?

well is that a bolt on?
An actual gibson neck isn't gonna work on a bolt on body.

But you can get Gibson style necks for that body.

Maybe something like this:

Yeah, it is a bolt on. I forgot about that not being a Gibson thing.

Well ok so there’s not much in the category. But there are a couple of necks and an LP body.
