Broken Truss Rod

Post by PepeSilvia »

Hello everyone. I recently purchased a Mustang with a broken truss rod and I intend to replace the neck. Any recommendations as to where to buy a Mustang or Jaguar neck (other than eBay)?

It’s a 1994 Competition reissue.

Are you looking to specifically buy an actual fender produced neck or are you open to necks made to fit mustang's by other manufacturers?
