Big Block Jazzmaster And Jaguars Mods

[tuffteef]

soo any pros an nifty diy guys want to tell how much i should be in the ball park esq prices i should be paying to have someone big block my jazzmasters neck?
and im not sure i can get it bound since the frets are already in?
im shopping around but i dont wanna get ripped off

guestimations?

Too much.

i've never priced inlay work but i'd think a replacement neck with binding and blocks wouldn't be that much more and then you'd have an extra neck....that's one body away from a alternate guitar.

and im not sure i can get it bound since the frets are already in?

Wouldn't frets be removed to do new inlays? I think most guys remove frets, level fretboard, then route for new inlays, I could be mistaken though. If that were the case, I'd get it bound at the same time, looks pretty sharp on a JM.

Just did one (for fun)
357 bucks for the neck,

Plus it would be factory fresh,

I think it would cost at least 150 to 200 to have someone put block inlays in and you are at the mercy of their skills.

ive seen people people do it with the frets in
and i wanna do it to the same neck since the guitar was built for me from scratch neck aswel

It would be expensive. Like. Too expensive.

To be honest, I wouldn't bother. I think it looks awesome, and wish my Jaguar and Jazzmaster both had B&B necks, but the amount you'd pay would be outrageous.

And, like mentioned above, you'd be at the mercy of someone's skills on a neck that was made for you. If they fuck up, it's ruined.

yeah thats what im worried about
what makes it worse is theres only one shop i trust
mainly cause hes a jazzy jag nut and has like 5 original big block ones so he knows what i wanted
but im working out quotes and if its too expensive ill just leave it

[tuffteef]

so i just got the quote
and its 550 dollars and he said that he will do it but there might be chips
so i said fuck off

[Fuzzy Picklez]
