Would like to buy the fattest Telecaster neck possible!

[archiekidd]

Hope it's ok to put a 'wanted' heads up here!?
Hi everyone!
I'm an acoustic chap through and through, however, I'm currently changing bits on a cheap Telecaster I'm 'doing up'.
My trusty Gibson L-2 has the greatest neck, I just love it, and I wanted to find something bigger/fatter than the standard Squier neck that's on this Tele.
I've heard the '51 Tele, the Nocaster, and even the Baja have substantial necks.
Warmoth do a 'boat-neck', which looks great, but I can't stretch the wallet for one of these.
Anyone have any ideas, know of suppliers, or have a fat neck they'd be prepared to sell??
Happy holiday weekend to all!!
Footnote,
I'm new to messing about with necks, it's a happy little project at the mo, so it wouldn't even need to be a Telecaster shaped headstock. Just something that fits and looks vaguely in keeping. 👍✨

You can check Striker Studio from Kiev, Ukraine. Despite the war, they're operating and shipping worldwide.
However, I can't say nothing about their guitars and parts from personal experience. I just found them when I was thinking about putting together another tele (they made a lot of unusual stuff like pine chambered tele bodies - supposedly one of a Fender Esquire prototypes had a chambered pine body, but the idea was abandoned, probably because they would be difficult to manufacture)


reverb.com/shop/viktors-gear-garage-34 here's the link to their reverb shop, but they probably would make a custom neck.

About 15 years ago I got an MJT '51 Telecaster neck - it's huge.
May be worth a look - they're in the US.

I read somewhere that the jeff beck telecaster had a neck like a baseball bat not sure if that helps

Hi Archie

Trust it’s ok to reply here Michael? I have a almost new Fender Mexican 51 Nocaster neck for sale here in the US. It’s listed on the Gear Page and TDPRI forums. I’m willing to ship overseas and will split the cost. Let me know if you’re interested.

The allparts TMO Fat neck is very fat, has tall frets its a great neck. I have one of those on one partscaster and a tmoV on the other. axecaster in the UK usually have some in stock for around £130 if you dont mind finishing them yourself

hope you find what you're looking for! i'm a Tele fan !
