local or regional luthiers that do replica necks?

[Z3r0_G]

As above, need a replacement neck for my beloved wick.

I'm probably gonna get him to do a walnut neck with a slightly thinner profile.

anybody know ANYBODY ard this region who can do a fantastic job replicating my neck?

if malcolm do necks, i will prolly get him to do it. as he is local easier to talk and work with and save on shipping cost and risk of damage during shipping.

and u can always pop by for a fitting ;p and shave a few mm's to fit those hands ;p.

good idea i would also wanna do this ;p but i love ;em warwick baseball necks

Sorry to go OT, but I've seen NNG Guitars mentioned a few times. How's their workmanship and delivery time like?

What about Guitar Made from Indon?

Been thinking about getting a custom..

Sorry, did cherns bring in the NNG or Guitarmade basses?

 

[Z3r0_G]

NNG. some were really great looking. i really wonder how they play.

 

[cool-beans]

I wanna know too. Just emailed NNG for some soundclips and pictures. Will let you know if I get a reply.

I searched NNG on talkbass but came across another thread showcasing a piece of work by Zith Custom guitars, also from Thailand. And the work was amazing. Anyone heard of them? Seems expensive though.
