Been fixin for a Suhr/Anderson styled HSH monster again for awhile, and those prices are just not in my budget. Toying around with the idea of buying a fender MIM HSH body and going to town.

What kinda spec would you be lookin for?
Floyd rose? or standard trem/hardtail?
What kinda neck? Shape/no of frets etc?

By the time you buy a MIM Fender neck and then have it refretted you are way above what a maple Warmoth neck with huge frets costs. If you just want plain maple and want to spec everything on the neck you're looking at $157 for a Warmoth, made in USA neck.MrDan666":2hsxa8wk said:Stratboy151":2hsxa8wk said:prolly a hardtail bridge, 22 jumbo fret, maple board. i have this idea of a black body, neon green pickguard and pink pu's
Maybe look into grabbin a Fender neck, maybe a MIM with a maple board? You could always get a tech to fret it up with some 6100's, and then assemble the whole thing yourself, if you already have a few bodies!
