what it would cost to have a brand new fingerboard put on a neck ? would it just be cheaper to buy a custom neck with that type of fingerboard and headstock ? i have a neck i like..jackson reverse headstock.. 24 fret..but..its rosewood..and..i like ebony..just curious what it would cost to have the piece of ebony put in and maybe have it "fretted" thanks

Well, I'm not sure exactly how much that type of work would cost, but you'd definitely have to have it fretted . The frets are in the fingerboard, not the neck itself. You'd also have to pay for inlay work if you wanted them.

I am sure it would probally be a fairly hefty charge. I would strongly recomend buying a different neck instead!!!!!

Speaking of Jackson 24 fret necks.... Who stocks aftermarket 24 fret necks to fit Jacksons? No one i have found yet has repalcements.... Everyone is making Fender style 22 fret repalcement necks. If anyone has info in aftermarket 24 fret necks let me know....
