Aurora Custom Shop necks
Does anyone have any experience with this Trussville, AL outfit on eBay or Reverb? Lots of sub-$200 necks. Reviews look quite positive. I'm guessing these are necks bought in bulk from somewhere and then finished in AL.

Re: Aurora Custom Shop necks
On some of the pics at their Reverb and eBay site, "Allparts licensed by Fender" is seen stamped on the heel. I don't know if that's the case for all of them, but the Jaguar one that's shown has this. These necks are shown with logos on the Reverb site, and blank on eBay (but listed at the same price).
Who knows anymore.

I saw these as well. Who wants to be the guinea pig?
They do seem like the cheapest finished 7.25 necks I've seen.

Re: Aurora Custom Shop necks
Do they not have their own website? I mean, if it's a "custom shop", the whole ebay thing is a put-off.

Re: Aurora Custom Shop necks
I've been recently coming back to these as well. I'm in Toronto and any finished neck with a decal on it is between 300 - and 400 IF you find them. There's a market for reliced good quality fender licences parts. A lot of folks I know are buying Dutch a Relics bodies from the Netherlands on EBay. I know EBay won't allow you to post with Fender Decals... They seem legit to me.
However if I bought a tele neck, tuners and shipping, that would be $240 USD which becomes $313 CAN..... Not that much of a deal up here.
If I do pull the chute, I'll certainly do a review.

Re: Aurora Custom Shop necks
Looking forward to it. If they are using Allparts necks and doing them up right, that would be a good thing.chipbutty24 wrote:Just ordered one. Will report back!

Re: Aurora Custom Shop necks
Saw they are off of reverb but that may be down to fees or something. Did make me hesitate but I sent 3 emails and he responded quite quickly. If this is the real deal it's definitely a good option.

Re: Aurora Custom Shop necks
Yeah on Ebay he's been pretty responsive to my questions. I ordered a CBS Strat neck (only way to get 7.25 with his stuff) and am having him install the 'aged' nickel Gotohs for $40 that they mention in their ads (http://www.ebay.com/itm/331922076384" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;).
I'll be using this with one of my MJT bodies.
Should be here Thursday.
If I like, I might get a regular JM neck from him as well for the other body.

Re: Aurora Custom Shop necks
Neck came in today. Love the way it came out. Finish has the exact feel I wanted. Has an allparts licensed stamp on it.
Have had a hiccup I'm working through with them though. Was sent with a Stratocaster decal and I didn't request or pay for one. Did not come with the tuners as I paid for. I'll post pics later on.

Re: Aurora Custom Shop necks
Good to know. Did it come with a nut? Allparts necks typically come without a nut.
