dorkdog Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I ordered a neck from StewMac and put it on in about 10 minutes. It plays awesome! Way way better than the stock neck (still looking for a creative use for that...) Here's a pic or 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clay-man Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Plays better? I wish I could just get a sunburst 69 and swap a maple neck in place, but I'd rather not have to deal with action/leveling the neck/making sure the neck doesn't interfere with tuning stability. Also the annoying warranty thing where Line 6 yells at you for any customization or personalizing of your JTV. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorkdog Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 Boy does it ever! I haven't even had to make any adjustments and it plays well - it was setup as best as possible with the old neck and is pretty intonated with the new one. A couple of twists on the bridge fixed that! Other than that, I had the issue with the high string slipping off.... even a not-yet-setup neck is better than that. For what, just north of $100 I am in a much better state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radatats Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Looks great but I have no idea what your decal says... Which neck did you use? the 5716 standard or 5714 compound? I am contemplating the compound radius but has anyone tried one? any comments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snhirsch Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I've had a compound radius neck on my JTV-69 for almost two years. Worked out smashingly well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorkdog Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 I have the compound radius... played it out today - perfect! The decal is my signature - Landon S Johnson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitar4u Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 A few questions please: 1. How were the fret ends (edges)? Sharp, or smooth? 2. Did you have to shim the neck to make it fit? 3. Was the nut pre-cut? If so, were the string slots cut correctly for the bridge? 4. Did you have to drill the holes yourself? Thanks!Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
