Allparts necks

[LushTone]

So I can't afford a Warmoth neck for this build because I've already wasted too much money with it. I can get an Allparts neck at wholesale, but am hoping to get some feedback first. Anyone had any experience with their fretwork and build quality? It's going on a Warmoth strat body and I'm only interested in their necks with headstock adjust, which they only have a couple models of. Here's the one I'm considering:

I appreciate any help!

What's "wholesale" for that neck? Because if $275 is your price, you can get a much nicer Warmoth neck for less. Use roasted Maple instead of unfinished regular Maple, and you don't have to pay for a finish. Burnish it and you will be very pleasantly surprised at how good a neck can feel. Put some stainless frets and a nut on it, and you're still only at $242 for a neck I guarantee you'll like better. I'd also recommend using the "modern" construction rather than the "vintage", but that's up to you. No extra charge for the much better "modern" style, which is remarkably stable. The dual-acting truss rods they use in those are a "set it and forget it" feature.

As for quality of the Allparts neck, I've seen good and bad, mostly good. But, as Allparts says right on the catalog page and the reason I've seen them here: All necks may require fret leveling and polish. So, you're not saving anything there.

While I completely agree with Cagey's assessment, I think its only fair to say that Warmoth admits that their necks may require leveling as well.  A good many of us get necks that are fine out of the box, but I think it is only fair to admit that Warmoth's necks might also require this same treatment.

Have you considered browsing Warmoth's "Screaming Deals" section? You might find what you're looking for at a lower price than the regular showcase.

not sure what the Wholesale price is.  Unless it is less than $$125, the screaming deals is the way to go. 

I think the CBS start around $150 plus the nut of choice.  Some Tru Oil or a quick spray of rattle can poly will seal it up for you.....roasted is cool too but harder to find.
