Are they going to offer one piece strat necks for 7 separately? This would be sooo great!

USACG will be offering parts. You have to do the assembly.

Thanks, glad you like it. I built everything on that guitar myself, the body, neck, bridge, pickups. That was actually the second strat7 I built, if I can find a good shot of the first one I'll post it.

You can buy just a neck if you like.

I doubt they'd sell you a neck without a fretboard, though.

Seriously, that is beautiful!

All I can say is, I don't know. The big issue with these necks will be stability. If the necks aren't strong enough to handle the tension then they're worthless. If USACG ends up using graphite rods to stabilize these necks, a possibility, then I doubt one piece construction is even possible.

Swever · 12-21-2007, 09:16 AM

Does the seventh sting really make so much difference?
And what's this graphite rod and why use it if it gives less stability than 'usual' one does?

Depends who you ask.

Anyway some builders like KXK and Soloway and Carvin all reinforce the necks with graphite to make it more stable.

Here's a pic of a Soloway neck showing the graphite robs installed.
