Have u looked at Warmoth? Ordering a custom neck, and just bolting it on to your strat? Saves risking your strat neck.... This seems like an interesting option as well Frankie. At some point you may want to have your old neck the way it was, so having another neck, if the budget allows it would be a better option indeed. Not sure how much it is expensive then having a scalloped job done, usually scalloping is around 60-120 pounds, the prices vary a lot, and for Strat necks with full scalloped Warmooth neck can cost you some 120-150 pounds. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Looks like you have to level the frets and remove the finish from them yourself if you order a neck from warmoth. Also, including the price of the frets, nut and finish it comes closer to £250. Would probably get stung on the way through UK customs for an additional 20% ( £50 ) + however much it cost to ship. That's a whopping £300 - the equivelant price of about 100 pints of beer in this country! It seems a lot cheaper for me to get my current neck scalloped and then if I don't like it simply buy a new one. I found a guy in Scotland who will do it for about £140 ( around 46 pints ) in Scotland including refinishing the fretboard. I gotta give this some thought, in the meantime I am going to see if I can find a scalloped guitar to have a go on. Am definately going to try one before I get this done JAX - I checked out the Marcus Lavendell posts and lessons, what an awesome player! Thanks for all your advice. 100 pints?? Oh man, that is a lot Sorry about that, it turns out costs become bigger. Well, if you don't mind changing your guitar, it's a cool way to go too -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

I bet in 10 pint of beer that the scalloping job will be successful

i'd say go for it, but just if you feel that there is nothing special with your neck
