So...Warmouth is staffed with retards and Allparts can't be arsed to provide specs or do custom sizes. Where might I get a new neck for my MIJ Thinline, one that isn't Ibanez-skinny (like the 80's OEM neck that's on it now) and more like the one on my Esquire?
The guitar in question:
I don't want to spend a whole bunch of money and figured I'd get a '69 Tele decal from Fender Bob. It'd be nice if it was tinted already.

I will be greatly disappointed if this doesn't end up as a lyric in one of your songs.
I don't know the answer to your question, but how about the usual suspects, like USA Custom Guitar and Musikraft?

Sure, those sound good- anyone got an opinion of the best place?

US Custom won't do accurate headstocks, but most of them can be modded to look right. Musikraft is really expensive, but their stuff looks really nice..

You could snag an overpriced but ready-to-rip MIM Thinline neck from the Stratosphere guy on eBay. Or, if you like the Esquire neck, you could look for one of those and have the world's only 2-pickup thinline Esquire...
