Coronado Aftermarket Necks?

Post by iodine74 » Mon Mar 24, 2008 4:51 pm

Anyone know a place to get an aftermarket Coronado neck?  I'm mainly just interested with that headstock shape.  I've got a picture of a franken-Jazzmaster that was on Ebay a couple years ago and they'd put a coronado neck on this body and the thing just looks sweet.  I'll have to post a shot of it.

The idea to do an offset build is growing and growing and if I can do the coronado style headstock, I might take that approach.

I would imagine that every neck maker on the planet is snowed under making aftermarket coronado necks.
Yes the cat has opposing thumbs and extra digits.

Seriously, no one is making these.  You'd have to find a luthier who would make a neck to specs - assuming you can get someone to send you the specs.

an alternative is to by a paddle neck (half paddle with tuner holes drilled would be the easiest I guess) and shape it yourself - someone on the board may have a coronado that you can get a trace from.

I know that at least one (Jazzprod) have a frankenmaster with a Coro-neck.

You can also watch ebay - the coro necks don't go for that much (I think a custom ordered neck from a luthier would be much more expensive.)
Someone knows where I can find the nearest woodchipper to throw my pieces of junk into?

I definately don't expect anyone to carry them as a normal thing, but didn't know if maybe someone around here might know of someone who had one made.

Here is the guitar I was talking about

It was a refin I'm 99% sure... I just love the color.

If you just like the headstock shape you could probably get a CBS headstock neck (many available from different companies) and sand it down to look like a Coronado headstock.
