Little insight on the neck... I had place the order to the machine shop back in late January. The part was remachined 3 times before it was made correctly because of machining issues. 6 months later I had the part at my door. I had to do some slight machining on various features to get the correct fit that I was looking for but all in all as complicated as the neck was to machine - I am very happy with the final results and the job they did on it!
