Petrucci Necks, How Much????

[MJL]

Hi guys,

I'm after finding out if it would be cheaper to get a new neck for my petrucci and have it sent to true temperament to be fretted rather than have them replace my fingerboard and carry out the work as the latter is much more labour and seems to be more expensive on the face of it.

Does anyone know how you go about and how much a replacement maple neck with rosewood fingerboard is for the petrucci??? would need to have the frets uncut so like blank neck just with the headstock painted.

Any help would be great!!!

I'm afraid they don't sell the necks on their own, but customer service will answerthat question better.

What happens if you break the neck then???? bit worrying.

Its solely for my use, and i just want the musicman neck as its what sold the guitar to me because its so perfect

Customer service: they are very good and very fast at answering questions.

If you need a neck replacement, usually, you need to send the guitar back to EBMM and they do the neck replacement. But it is a one for one match. If you had a RW fret board with a maple backing (standard JP neck), you get the same thing man.

Hope this helps, Glenn |B)

I see you're in England. I'd give Strings & Things a call as they're the distributor for your country.

True Temperament? Cool.

As has been said ... you can't buy a spare neck. If you needed a replacement, you'd have to send the old one back. Same goes for any MM parts that are proprietary.

True Temperament? Cool.

Yup. There was a quote from him about them "Ahead of their time" or something like that. I'll try and find it...

Aside from his normal BFR guitars, John also belongs to the players praising the concept of True Temperament.
- "I have a BFR with True Temperament on it, and they're really ahead of their time. It's really cool!", he certifies.
