I tried to make a list of necks and options proposed so far. I am not quite sure if all options are available to every neck. I suppose that depends on the interest. 

 

- J (£450) 

- P (£450) 

- MM (£480) 

- MM5 (£480) 

 

- normal nut 

- slim nut 

 

- frets 20/22 

- fretless 

 

- no dots / unlined 

- dots / lined 

- blocks (+£30) 

 

Prices do not include P&P. 

Yes.  To get a firm price, I'll need to weigh the package and enter the measurements.  I don't have that information to hand because I don't have the necks yet.  I will supply an educated guess based on some assumptions about the weight of the neck but it will be subject to confirmation.  Initial enquiries for UPS/DHL express shipping (3-5 days) are eyewatering and I've asked if there are cheaper 'priority' options.  I don't know what the shipping companies are smoking but I will look into insured rail and sea as well but the shipping times will be significantly longer.

 

Options for every neck are fingerboard focussed.  Options beyond that, e.g. nut widths, number of strings etc. are going to be subject to MoQ, or the custom route is an option.

something that is a straight drop in for Fender or MM would probably be a preference (itch starting for a P) and I do like the black and graphite weave showing through on my Status necks so would prefer not to lose that

Yes, if you check the headless video out you'll see I've gone for that.

I think it looks distinctive and really shows what you're playing isn't wood. The necks will also have a matt finish not only because it wears slightly better but also it looks a little more contemporary.

Or presumably import duties?
