Jackson Replacement Necks - Anyone able to make them in Ireland?

Flesh Gorden

Is there anyone in Ireland with the capability of making top quality replacement guitar necks?


I'd be after a neck to fit USA Jackson DK1, hopefully with an Ebony board, a nice flat radius and binding on the edges.

From the UK Sims Custom and Owen Jackson seem to be the two main names popping up; plus their prices are very competitive compared to say Warmoth Fender licensed Strat necks.


The history of the guitar:

Totally forgot I had the thing until I went looking through some old boxes.

It's an old Jackson USA Dinky body I picked up off eBay years ago as the original owner stripped it for parts and completely botched the neck pickup space with a router, then tried to hide the evidence with the worst DIY scratchplate I've ever seen.

I think it cost me under €10 before postage.


From what I remember, the original plan was to have an EMG-81 in the bridge and one of those Fernandes sustaniac pickups in the neck with the harmonic switch.

I reckon for the time being I'll stay with a single 81 in the bridge as I have one ready to go.

The final thing I'm missing is an original floyd rose.

I remember years ago some guy selling them via eBay and based in New York I think, hand making his own replicas for about €50 with a massive block,
which for me would be handy as I've managed to destroy a FR in the past.

Sorry to dredge this up, but did you ever install the sustainaic? I've heard they (as well as fernandes sustainers) are a nightmare to instal.
