About this specific neck:

*** This neck will need work and finish before being used ***

This was my first neck ever, so you might end up owning a piece of East Coast history.

Headstock is slightly thinner than standard (12mm instead of 14mm)

Some marks on the fretboard

The heel has some tear-out. Will not be seen and does not affect fit or function

Frets will need to be dressed and leveled, just like every new neck

Please see the pictures for more details

About my necks:

I consider my necks 95% complete. You will still need to do a final sanding, work on the frets, install the nut, install the string trees, drill the mounting holes and apply a finish.

I purposely create thick profiles so you can adjust it by sanding and filing to your desire. I personally love thick necks and would play these as they come.

Why the Bluenose:

Launched in 1921 from Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, the Bluenose was a symbol of Canada and Nova Scotia in the 1920s and 1930s. The schooner was best known for its racing success, staying undefeated for nearly 20 years. Even today, Nova Scotians are known as “Bluenosers”. The ship marked history and as a sailor I feel it is a beautiful symbol. The Bluenose lives today as the Bluenose II, which can be visited in the summer in beautiful Lunenburg, the same place the original Bluenose started nearly 100 years ago.
