Here's a wiki article I wrote on it last year:
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/index.php/Shredneck I would say it's useful if you are going to be away from your guitar for a few days, mainly to maintain finger calluses a bit and maybe practice some scale boxes. It's nowhere near as great as a guitar, but better than nothing. As a matter of fact I'm on vacation now, far away from my beloved guitars, and the shredneck is sitting right next to me  -------------------- Guitars:

There's a couple of instructors here that did some endorsements/sponsorships for shredneck. David Wallimann and Marcus Lavendell, if I remember correctly.
There's also a couple of instructors here that will tell you it's a totally unnecessary device. Discussion incoming? -------------------- ::jafomatic

Long ago I was thinking of getting one
 until I actually read more about it and discovered that It simply doesn't sound correctly...  For me there is not much sense in practicing if you can not hear it. Scales don't make music by themselves. What makes music is hearing the context and putting the scales into use to express your feeling! -------------------- my "Thank you GMC!" video

Actual guitar neck. Doesn't even need to be an expensive neck, and you can mount whatever kinda bridge you want to it.

I liked the idea of shreddneck but I would never get one
 It seems a little weird to have portable 6 fret neck

I suppose it can be good for warming up, or just keeping the fingers moving, I don't see how the actual practice can be done. Possibly Muris and David can shed some light on the subject?

QUOTE (fatstrat @ Aug 28 2009, 08:26 PM)  agreed....it just seems too small to be effective as a training tool I think I might end up going with a Traveler series guitar. They come with a full neck, headphone input, and pickup on most. It might be a little expensive, but I looked on ebay and could snag one for under $200. Way too expensive, but i find the Lapsticks quite interesting: http://www.lapstick.com/standardmodels.html |

I've never been fan of these things but now after reading many reviews I might be wrong about this one. Will definitely try it when I get chance.
