Necks: Fender Custom Shop vs Luxxton

[Hooligan]

Curious if anyone owns both and how they would compare and contrast them. I know there are so many more different sizes of Fender necks but I am looking more for overall feel and fretwork. Which do you feel better with? Cheers!

I like smaller necks so Luxxtone all day for me. Super easy to play and great feel. I feel Fender custom shop taper is weird. Like they get bigger and stay bigger quick rather than a gradual taper.

Luxxtone for the feel and fretwork all the way. I love my Fenders, but even the Custom Shop's fretwork aren't as good as Luxxtone's.

Thanks for the feedback! I love my fender custom shop but I am thinking it’s time to try something new!

Nothing like a Luxxtone neck

Is Luxxtone building his own necks from scratch or are they sourced and then finished his way in house ?

Wow!

I have yet to hear anything negative about Luxxtone guitars....They seem to be world class instruments from every angle.

Easily on par with Charvel Custom shop

Never held or played one, but ALL the Luxxtone pics I have seen are just stunning.

Love the neck on my CS Tele. Feels great in the hand, perfect fret work. On par with my buddy's Anderson Icon.
Wasn't looking to buy a killer Tele that day, but the guitar took me by surprise. Must have got lucky.
The CS Shop Strat I had before, and some of the other ones I played, weren't quite as good.
I've played 2 Luxxtones. They were great.
I prefer my Tele, Suhr Modern and buddy's Anderson.
When spending that kind of $, I want to play it first, or be able to return.

Sadly I can only imagine the music you play whenever you play it

Good Question, i thought i heard the bodies and neck were sourced out, I heard the same about Xotic and Chubtone. Possibly Wildwood MFG. I guess it does not matter too much if you design you necks and bodies and have someone else CNC them. Luxxtone, Chubtone, and Xotix are Legit!
