glefty Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Not affiliated with G&L in any way but just in case any of my lefty Brit brethren haven't been over to leftybassist.com for a while, $30 for a G&L genuine tribute neck, 4 or 5, maple or rosewood board with 3 nut sizings! Insane, I got mine in 7 days to Japan for $25 postage, $55 all up. It's a gorgeous maple 5 but no decal, nut or neck heel mount holes & frets are a bit sharp but eBay for nut n decal, local luthier for dress n fit n u got a great genuine lefty neck to whack on a body, just be careful of the heel compatibility with some bodies. Wahey!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glefty Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Just letting you all know that these necks are available again on the G&L site. Bought 2, a 5 & a 4 so got 3 now, just need to do something with them. DIY lefties rule! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glefty Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 I'm a foreigner in Japan so didn't pay any duties n back home in Oz we've got a A$1k leeway for this kind of stuff but I guess they slug you guys mightily in the UK with VAT. Still seems like a decent deal for a genuine G&L neck though, even with the extra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DorsetBlue Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 My leftie maple stratolike neck arrived today. Very nice it is too, fret ends will need a bit of a polish but nice bits of wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_lefty Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Mine arrives on Friday, really great deal for the neck, delivery and import fees. It's going on to a black bitsa P-Bass, everything black except an all maple neck... Am hoping this is similar quality to a Fender MIM neck?

uk_lefty Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Can anyone recommend tuners to go on one of these? Fender replacements are too big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deksawyer Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Here's a neck I ordered and fitted to an NRD Basses body. Took a bit of reshaping at the end of the neck pocket to get the same shape as the G&L neck and I had to add some thin mahogany veneer either side of the pocket to take up the slack. Nice and snug now. Also, because the G&L neck has a few extra frets, I had to use a Badass II bridge I had (because of the extra metal [b][i]behind[/i][/b] the screw holes compared to a std Fender bridge) and moved it towards the neck the required amount. And because of that extra metal, it covered the 5 original holes where the bridge would usually go. Everybody understand that?? Here's a spec list: Body is NRD (ebay and very nice for the money) Pickup is SD Quarter Pounder Pickguard is ebay cheapie Fender Neck plate CTS 250k Pots PETP 0.033uF Cap Hipshot string tree And regarding the tuners, I ordered a set of MM/G&L USA sized ones and yep, they're too big. I think we'll need to fit 1/2" sized tuners. That's the only thing holding me back. Waiting to hear back from ebay seller about lefty availability of these: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291025101782?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT"]http://www.ebay.co.u...K%3AMEBIDX%3AIT[/url] I've ordered some Tru Oil, and I'll disassemble it all and give it a few coats of that and reassemble. Can't wait! [attachment=187630:WP_20150327_15_36_57_Pro (2).jpg] D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
