New Chinese Bound & Blocked Rowland S Howard Jaguar Neck Day

I took a little risk and ordered a bound and blocked jaguar neck I found on Alibaba from Weifang Melody Musical Instrument Inc.
I really figured the money was just gone and I'd never see anything for it or I'd receive a crappy neck that looked nothing like the one I ordered or had some crappy stickers instead of inlays. It showed up today after a little over a month and honestly I'm pretty happy with it. I spent some time looking for a b&b neck and they're all pretty expensive. Vintage were like $600+ and to get one made was around $300+. Totally worth it but out of my price range so when I found this one for $100 I had to give it a shot. I've seen a lot of people posting on other forums looking for them so I was really stoked to find an affordable one. It needs to be cleaned up a little and finished but for what I paid everything looks really good. I had to pay a little extra to have frets and tuner holes put in but it was only a few bucks. The endgame here is to build my own Rowland S Howard Jaguar, probably out of any Squier parts I happen across. Just thought I'd share in case anyone else is looking for one. Now to figure out what crude or RSH related thing I want the decal to say.

Damn, that looks pretty good!! Did you have to contact them and custom order, or did they have that listed? If so, link? I found a few necks, but they had the headstock adjust and were unbound/dots...
Nice work! Can't wait to see your build.

It was listed on the site but when I click on the link now it looks like they've removed the blocks and binding and added the frets and tuner holes. I'm sure they can do it though, you'll just have to ask in an email for them to do it. They were really helpful and seemed happy to do custom work. It was this one http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/J ... 8.1.8wnw81
Their customer service was great. When I couldn't figure out how to pay through the site they sent me an email to pay through paypal which actually made me feel better since I could file a claim if I was unhappy.

It'll be a while until I can get started on the build, but I couldn't pass on the neck when I saw a chance to get one. If you contact them let me know how it goes.

Looks great! Gonna keep an eye on this, and definitely gonna file this for the future!
