"My neck doesn't fit my body..."
I ran a very successful repair operation for a long time when I lived in California. I worked on many parts-casters put together by clients of mine, purchased from other parties, and sometimes I assembled random parts brought to me by clients. The common denominator these parts-casters shared were necks that didn’t quite fit the bodies. In addition, with the rise in inexpensive kit-guitar sales, the question of what to do in this situation comes up very frequently. Even necks and bodies coming from well-known, quality sources don’t always fit together properly. Unfortunately, there is no universal neck size and perfectly matching neck pocket to help out newcomers.
I read and hear these issues and it gets my gears turning.
The Unga BANG build is my solution. Check it out in my YouTube video.
Each one of these kits is built to order and made by my hands, in my shop. Contact me (Perry Vasquez) if you’d like one, as they aren’t currently listed on my website.
In my luthiery builds at Unga Guitars, each neck is fit to each body, one-by-one. I don’t have universal neck pockets or generic templates for any of my builds, or even my BANG build kit. I go off of specs provided by me by my customers to give them the most quality custom build or kit-build I can.
The Body And Neck Guitar (BANG) kit gives you a quality neck and body that were made for each other. With this kit, there is no need to invest in a whole wood shop. If you are wanting to get into ACTUALLY MAKING GUITARS (!!!), this is a great starting point.
