crap the new "Sale type:" thing screwed up the huge post i had...

so anyways... basically, i read the wrong information and routed my RG7421 for a emg 5 string bass housing instead of a 4 string bass... so unless i want to make huge pickup rings, the guitar is pretty much worthless to me... so i've got an RG7621 neck(off my 7421, but stamped 7621), 3 piece neck(maple/bubinga/maple), that i replaced the fingerboard with ebony. its got dunlop 6100 fretwire, its leveled, crowned, and polished, and its a blank board with the exception of the 12th fret, which has an off center MOP double dot inlay like my 7 string V has. it has silver side dots. currently it has a blue headstock, but i'm probably going to be painting it black(though i'll leave it up to the person who buys it). it has a special insert system instead of traditional wood screws to hold it to the body. the way it works is with allen headed bolts, no need for ferules, just bolt the allen bolts in, and torque it down pretty good. this also eliminates some of the issues commonly associated with bolt ons, like the screws stripping out, and it also allows for better neck to body contact, which can potentially improve tone and sustain. it also has a set of gotoh tuners, although i'm not sure if i have the 7 screws to hold them in their places. it'll have a bone nut. i have the origional truss rod cover, though yours might be in better shape, and i have the string retainer as well. this neck will have an oil finish after today. i'm asking 300+shipping for this. with the inserts, you would have to drill out larger holes in your neck pocket, and you can do this yourself if you'd like, but personally, i'd rather have the body shipped to me so i can do it, and then ship it back to you(and the 300 will include me redrilling the holes and doing a full setup).
