ritch Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Recently I posted on here asking if anybody knew of a decent Luthier in the South of England who could fit some block inlays into my 2005 Fender Jazz. I went with Knight Guitars in Surrey, who were extremely pleasant and very reasonable on price. So basically this is my 2005 Fender Jazz - Sunburst with maple neck, and now with white pearl block inlays. No binding though, as I didn't really want to mess with the overall 'feel' of the neck. I think it looks absolutely stunning So pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Bolton Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 That's really nice ritch! Was it a pricey job, if you don't mind me asking? Would it not have been cheaper to buy a similar neck from, say, Allparts or WD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutToPlayJazz Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 They did a really nice job there, Ritch. Looks the same as my Marcus Miller Jazz neck (apart from the gloss finish.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritch Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 Thanks It wasn't a pricey job. £162 for all 9 blocks in the white perloid. Would have been almost double that to have real mother of pearl. I don't think I could have bought a ready made blocked neck and had it installed/setup again for less than that! And mine is still the original neck as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
