Just picked up a flamed B&B neck for $195...

Found it on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Jazzmaster-Nec ... 2749.l2649

I'm obviously taking a gamble here, but from the photos, and the guy's feedback, I have a good feeling about it. It's gonna go on my fiesta red 60th Anniversary Jazzmaster. The current neck on it is decent, but I have never gotten over the incorrect blocks or the super pale Pao ferro board. Maybe I'm dumb... but we'll see what happens! I'll update when I get it with my impressions.

The seller told me it was made by a luthier friend of his in S. Korea. He's sold a bunch of other necks and they all have received positive feedback, so hopefully that counts for something.

I've had one of his for years, it's a nice neck but as I recall he says finished in lacquer but mine was thick poly. So thick it chipped when bumped on the headstock in shipping and the heal would not fit the neck pocket. I removed the poly and sprayed some lacquer and it's fine. Looks great too.

This is what it looked like when I got it.


This is after removing poly, spraying tinted lacquer & a few top coats of clear lacquer.

Nice! Was yours bound as well? tbh I don't really care if it's poly or not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ if i need to sand the heel then that's ok. i was expecting to do some final fit and finish on it anyway

any photos of the fretboard?
