Tele guys..look at my new neck

[MetalManiac]

The Great Jerry Reed! Got it cheap. Not like Im building a bunch of guitars ..i just have a few left over parts I'm trying to make the best of..a couple of Tele bodies.
I am winding down on assemblng stuff. I have everything I really want, and its a hassle putting them together. I actually don't enjoy doing it like some folks...anyways..
Being as How Jerry Reed was always one of my Tele heroes,and he's gone, I couldnt pass this neck I got for 75 bones. It'll go good on one of my remaining bodies;

Re: Tele guys..look at my new neck

The neck is a bit unusual for a Tele-style guitar in that it’s more of the wide-thin, shredder type of neck. I’m not a shredder and this neck is not my cup of tea, but it is well done with nicely finished jumbo frets and small inlays that from a distance look a bit like a Texas longhorn. I’m sure many will find this neck to be great. Tradition has a seasoned tech who goes over every instrument that arrives from the factory before it ships out, and the setup on this one is good with a low action that’s ready to roll. The neck is lightly finished for that bare wood feel which you either like or you don’t, but it is smooth and it does play well. The tilted-back head is also unusual on a Tele-style guitar, but many prefer it and it does eliminate the need for a string tree.

You may like it, or you may hate it.

Are you sure the guy didn't already send you the entire guitar? Isn't that you playing in this video? It sure does look like you.

I hate those roller trees. Waaaay too tall. I bought a set, thinking they were like the ones Fender uses. It hardly gave me a break angle at all.

Other than that, if the frets are good, looks like it should be a fine neck. I like the inlays.

Nah.....not at all. I just don't want Jerry to buy something that isn't what he thinks it is.

It looks an awful lot like a Jay Turser "signature" model.
