...but that price is criminally insane!
It's an original neck, mated to a custom body made by Ed Roman who mirrorred the original righthanded body.

The Story:
I purchased a Right-Handed Marathon 6 back in 2006, I believe. From there, Body and neck was sent off to Ed Roman Guitars in Las Vegas.
The Body was copied for me and I chose to use Swamp Ash wood ($550), which is heavy, but gives the most kick-a** bright tone, even when it's not plugged in. It was then finished with Gloss Black Poly ($350)
The Neck was re-fretted ($320) AND re-finished ($400).
A Dead-Accurate Clear PERSPEX Pickguard ($100) and Control-Plate ($100) were fashioned.
The "Shergold Marathon Hand Crafted London" Decal ($97.00) was made up, which I applied upon receiving the instrument back in New York.
A Left-Handed Fender Bass VI G&G Case was then Custom Made (200.00) so that I'd have something to put it in.
Then, of course, I ordered Three Sets of Custom Made Strings from Newtone (83.08 GBP = $128.07) So that I could play it properly. (Bass VI Strings are too thin to make this thing do as it's supposed to in my opinion).
Total: 1925.07 NOT including the initial cost of the RIghty (plus shipping this thing all over).
