Replacement tele neck Musikraft vs. Mighty Mite?

[Motorpud]

I'm looking for a tele neck for a project and I've narrowed it down to these brands. Musikraft has some KILLER custom shop flamed maple necks but I saw a couple great MM necks too. I'm leaning toward Musikraft right now but I figured I'd put it out there since I know guys here have dealt with both companies and see what kind of comparison or pros/cons I could come up with from either vendor

There really isn't much comparison in my experience. Mighty Mite are serviceable, Musikraft is good quality. Made in Korea versus Made in the USA. The best thing about Musikraft is their Express necks. You get to pick the specs and yet they'll turn it around in just a few days. So just IMO of course, but I think it's worth paying twice the price to get the american made product made to your specs.

Good point. Another thing that you touched on that I was wondering about was turn around time. I'd like to be able to get the neck ASAP since the body's already on it's way. Maybe I'll just contact Musikraft and talk to someone to see what they say about
time frames

I didn't even notice the Mighty Mite necks were built in Korea Looks like it's Musikraft Hopefully they can get me the neck I'm looking for pretty soon, I know that might unrealistic though. If not maybe I'll see what's on eBay

Did you ever check their web sale section??? They had a few Tele necks already available for $155, $195 Marked down from what ever they go for, last time I checked..

Yeah they had some on there but I'm looking for one with some figured birds eye or flame. Didn't see any like that even in the express section. I don't have internet at home right now (switching companies) so I'm trying to do all of this on my iPhone and it's really just a pain in the ass compared to what it would be if I had access to a computer

Musikraft,but more than likely your gonna have to have the frets dressed.
Sometimes they're right on but not always.

Is Warmoth not in the mix?

How about a real Fender neck from The Stratosphere's eBay shop?.....

 

[Ayrton]

In this order...

USACG
Warmoth
Musikraft
Mighty Mite

I bought a custom Tele neck from USACG and could not be happier with it. I have no complaints with Warmoth or Musikraft, but USACG does custom better than anyone.

Musikraft w/o question. I have 9 of their necks....

How does he get all of those parts?!?!?!? I mean is he tearing guitars apart and blowing them out piece by piece?

I have bought from him though and he is a good seller.

Well, Warmoth was the next choice I dont have to worry about it anymore though because I bought a super highly flamed Musikraft neck the same day I posted this

Sure you're not gonna check out USA Custom Guitars?
I was gonna say "Tommy's got the best wood" but that might not go over as intended here.

That is a pretty long...uh, I mean nice piece of wood


In all seriousness that is a great neck Mine looks like that but with a darker finish. The tele body is kind of a dark red peal so it should look pretty cool, I'll do an NGD when it's done

 

[TeleBlaster]

Cool! I love partsocaster threads!

 

[Motorpud]

It's going to be my first one so I'm pretty excited, I'm hoping it turns out good
