Bolt-On Bass Necks

Neck Through Bass Necks

Carvin has been offering project/replacement necks for guitars and basses since the late 1980s. Many independent guitar builders use Carvin necks because of our superior build quality and large assortment of neck options. You can choose guitar and bass necks, in bolt-on and neck-through configurations, and you may also select a variety of woods, fingerboards, inlays, headstock shapes, frets and more. All Carvin necks come standard with a blank, undrilled headstock, allowing you to create you own unique shape, or you can choose from our assortment of precut headstock shapes, which will include the appropriate tuner holes. You can choose how complete you want you neck to be; from unfinished requiring light sanding and finishing, to completely finished in tung-oil, clear matte satin or high gloss. Carvin necks are covered by our 5 year warranty. Carvin carries necks with the most common options in stock for immediate shipment. Allow up to 2 weeks for shipment of necks with standard options, and 1 - 3 weeks for necks with custom options.
