Wow, that looks incredible.

I tried to find the frankenstraat website, but came up with a blank page.  Wish I knew more about them.
 
Yea, I saw that last night...
That is a crazy cocobolo :toothy12:
The same vendor had a very similar cocobolo neck on ebay a couple months ago.
I think it sold for around $600...

Yea, I tried to find them also with no luck  :dontknow:
I also wrote them to ask if they would just build me a cocobolo neck for a set price.
I hate screwing around with those ebay auctions  :evil4:
Anway, I got no reply, so I guess they don't want any non auction business...
 
I find myself horrified by it yet also strangely attracted to it all at the same time.  :doh:
 
It's mesmerizing. In a psychedlic way.  I can see hendrix swinging an axe with that neck.  Hard to imagine a body to match.  Cocobolo body, with black hardware.  HMM

Danger will robinson, frankenstrat, screwed me over on a e-bay neck. I was the lucky bidder on  a super flame maple kramer style neck. During the auction I asked if the neck pictured was the neck shipped and the reply was yes. I payed right away two weeks late no neck, I e-mailed and got a response that said "we almost mailed your neck but realized It had no side position markers, we always wait to install those until the neck has sold, should be out in a week. Two weeks later no neck, I call and am told that a  new employee was behind and My neck would ship soon. two weeks later I get this shit neck that had the tuner holes drilled in the wrong place, plugged then re drilled. The skunk stripe on the back had gaps between it and the neck and the truss rod was maxed out. I called and was told OOps must have shipped the wrong neck.
long story short I had to file a pay pal claim to get my money back.  STAY AWAY from Frankenstrat..
 
IF I played geetar - I don't believe I'd want THAT one with that large knot where it is...

I agree his necks look nice, but little seller history.....and that one is truly spacey

He has an awful reputation and basically got kicked off ebay at one point and came back under a new name.  Caveat Emptor!
 
I looked into getting one of these before I discovered Warmoth.  Bottom line, this guy bears considerable watching.  There are tons of threads on other forums documenting his history.  Here's a few of the more lively ones:

Spotty history at best...

Thats my thread on the kramer forum, I got flamed at first (probably by james duffy under assumed name)

stay away, the guy is a dick.

Funny thing though, shortly after I started that thread  mr duffy called me at home and offered to refund my money. it still took weeks and I never was fully repaid.
 
Geeeeeesssssssssssssss.
Thanks for the warning about this guy.
I will be stayin' far, far away
