Neck arrived from our exclusive Fender licensed body & neck manufacturing plant in New Jersey, USA !!! Notice the PH Scoop - (The Peg Head scoop is the radius from the top of the finger board to the flat area of the head stock. The transition is rounded, the older strat's and Tele's had a smaller curve (Radius). |
Built to Yngwie's Exact 54 Strat Specs - Including huge Stainless
Steel 6100 Frets! This neck will not only
look
like the RHS Video Cover Neck, but
Feel identical to the Master
Shredders Scalloped Weapon!!
|
The scallop processing
begins - we protect the frets with thick Permacel tape and get out the good ole hand tools...a blend of round files and 150 grit attached to my calibrated pencil is used to cut away at the hard rock maple! |
|||
 |
 |
 |
|||
Rough Scalloping is complete. Next we finish sand the fretboard using 220, 320, and 400 grit sandpaper |
Sand , Sand, Sand until
all the file marks disappear and the scallops are smooth and even. Is the Fender Custom Shop Hiring - Ha ha!? |
Next we mask the fret
board duplicating Yngwies wear pattern on his infamous CAR REH Video Strat!!! The worn areas will be covered, as the exposed areas will get a nice thick tinted nitro cellulous lacquer coat. |

Lots
of time is spent here, but |
Sealer
is sprayed over the entire neck Note: The masked areas need to be |
Sealer
is sanded and tinted nitro is |

 |
 |
 |

|
..This neck will be new but have a broken in look and feel!! |
Fret board masking is
removed and custom mixture of stains are used to get the right worn fret board color just right - this is a pure art form.. |
We use Dean's real 74
strat (With cool wear at the Cowboy Chord area) as a guides to help us arrive at the right color and texture of the Yngwie Battered F.... retboard |

New Vintage Reissue
Kluson Deluxe tuners are aged in a soup of rusted steel wool...Then they get get a dose of heat to dull up the chrome |
Brass nut has been pre-aged - we will fit her later... |
Tinted Nitro was thick
and glossy and had to set for about a full week. Next we wet sanded the entire neck to 2000 grit and then polished to an aged luster.. |
