I have a nephew that built an OM with my help several years back He called me last night wanting to know If I knew of any LP kits out there with set neck as opposed to bolt-ons that were of any quality.

I spent hours last night searching the web and came up blank. I have built (actually assembled finished and set-up) a couple Warmoth LPs for a local performer in the past and they are great quality but as you know they are bolt-ons In fact every thing I found have been bolt-ons.

Now I could build the body and carve the top for him but he really just wants a quality kit to build at home himself but is really looking for a set neck.

Anyone know of any set neck kit?

Michael, I have looked in the past as well with no success. I have seen bolt on neck LP kits on eBay, maybe someone is now offering fitted neck kits.

Another suggestion might be trying John Watkins, he has build a number of LP's or our very own Mr. Garrish.

Michael, you could certainly kit a LP as well.

I'll second the John Watkins source. I saw one of his latest and it was killer...all CNC'd.
