Warmoth has one at a very attractive price:

The all ebony neck is amazing too!

having physically handled, installed, and played both USACG and Warmoth necks, I'd choose to save 3/4 pound and go with the USACG neck ... even if it takes a little longer because you had to custom order it

I'll also say that I'm not a big fan of steel stiffening bars, so the graphite bars in the USACG are also very appealing to me as well

all the best,

Yeah, Warmoth has had that neck up there for a WHILE.

I'm with you Rodent, I'd much prefer the USACG neck. (I'm actually working on a build right now witha Warmoth body and USACG neck, pics forthcoming). I saw that one they had up a week or so ago and then when I went back this past weekend it was sold. Bummer but I'm sure there will be more.

I'm guessing that's a 4-string hybrid you're working on there, yes?

I ask because I should note that a USACG 5-string neck is note designed to fit in a Warmoth Deluxe 5 neck pocket. The USACG neck is a 21-fret neck shaft with the 22nd fret overhanging the fretboard. In contrast the Warmoth Deluxe 5 is a 22 fret neck with no overhang.

Just wanting to give you a warning if a 5-string hybrid was your plan

all the best,

R

I have 3 Warmoth necks (2 awaiting projects) and yes they are a bit heavy though the one on my PJ doesn't cause neck dive. I have wondered why Warmoth dosen't you graphite stiffening bars instead of steel. Any amount of weight reduction would be a good thing IMHO.

Still $140 ain't a bad deal! :D

No, its a four string Warmoth Dinky J (swamp ash with quilt top) with a USACG J-neck, but thanks for the tip.
