First post here, but long time G&L user...
I'm curious if USA G&L necks of different models are interchangeable. IE: would an ASAT neck fit on a Legacy, or Legacy neck on a Comanche, etc. I'm curious about both the neck pocket and intonation. I assume everything would be fine regarding intonation.
Also, I tried emailing the repair guy on the glguitars.com site and haven't heard back from him (it's been well over a week) and I'm just curious if you can buy a neck separately and if so, how much it'd cost. Warranty is moot at the moment.
Thanks in advance guys!

Re: A couple questions regarding necks
As long as they are four bolt necks, they should be interchangeable. There could be a small gap between the neck and the walls of the neck pocket or the fit could be a little too tight and the pocket would then need to be opened slightly. In the case of the fit being too tight, G&L recommends having a qualified service tech install the new neck. Yes, intonation should be fine.ryesky wrote:First post here, but long time G&L user...

G&L does not offer replacement necks. See this post: replacement necks for 1996 G&L legacy special guitars. BTW, G&L's email service was having some issues
a week or two ago, so your email might have not reached them.
Hope this helps.

Re: A couple questions regarding necks
Thanks, Craig.
Is it at all possible to send my current neck in for an exchange? Even if it requires a fee/charge?
