There seems to be many tele players on this forum:

Wondering if any of you have a recommended after-market thin c-style shape tele neck brand and source.
I have a “franken-tele” modeled after the Clapton Blind Faith model. It has a strat neck on a tele body. The neck is very “baseball bat-ish” u-shaped and just feels clubby to me.

Would like the frets to be dressed as good as possible pre-project.

I plan on doing the replacement myself as a project and would like the nut to have slots started, that I can finish for my strings. Appreciate any advice.

I've bought several necks here for various projects I've built.

The necks have been pretty much ready to go, just bolt on and go.

I'm not exactly sure what the business model is here, I think they buy fenders new and then part them out.

Sometimes you can find a good, used neck on the Telecaster Forum (TDPRI.com) in the classified section.
