100+ year old maple neck blanks

[mrfjones]

I have a large stock of neck blanks that came from the framing of a house that was recently torn down in Cleveland Ohio. The house was built some time in the early 1890's. These blanks are large enough for a fender style neck (if you are building anything else talk to me and we will get a piece big enough.)

each blank will be cleaned up and sent out to you for $225 plus actual shipping.

please contact me with any questions or post them here.

thank you

Is it quartersawn?

Was the house haunted ?

Re: 100+ year old maple neck blanks

there could be some figure hiding in there but most is just flat sawn maple. I used one of the blanks on the neck I put on my guitar, and it rings like a bell. It has a very light figure to it and only in a couple spots.

oh yeah, I have no idea if the house was haunted or not, sorry.

225$ per blank? Is that correct or a typo?

Re: 100+ year old maple neck blanks

that is correct, you can't get this stuff just anywhere. So far I have only been able to get 15 that would be good for necks.
