Leo JaymzElectric Guitar Neck Supreme Series - Selected Roasted Flame Maple neck and Rosewood fingerboard - 22 Frets, 9.5","C" Shape (Supreme ST Rosewood)

I purchased one of these necks (Supreme Series - Selected Roasted Flame Maple and Rosewood - Pro) for a guitar build a few months ago and it was so well made that I ordered two more for upcoming builds. The price is shockingly low for the quality of the construction and the materials used in these necks. The fret work is really good, with no rough edges or high frets. The nut string spacing is a little tight for me, but that was easily fixed by replacing the nut.

As soon as I get this mounted to a body, I’ll update the review with final thoughts. In the meantime, let’s talk about what I can see right off the bat.The model I purchased is a tinted lacquer gloss finish roasted maple neck with rosewood fingerboard. It most closely resembles the Squier neck on my Classic Vibe 60’s model Squier Strat, although that neck has the tinted lacquer with regular maple rather than roasted.There’s a lot of good here. The neck looks great. The wood is pretty much flawless, and the fretboard, dots and side markers all look great. Out of the box, the neck is straight as an arrow. While I haven’t strung it up yet, it looks like the nut may need a little filing unless you like a high action. We’ll see how it looks when it’s mounted though.The frets are probably the big weak point. They’re smooth and the ends are all nicely rounded (which was a big surprise), but they’re not all the perfect length. Some of them weren’t centered fully, with a gap on one side and the fret end sticking out a little in the other. For these I was able to minimize the impact by tapping them with a small fret hammer, nudging them in the correct direction. Still, some other frets seemed to be cut just a little too short, leaving a small gap even when the other side was flush. This could affect playability if it ends up causing the strings to fall off the edge too early, but I won’t know if it’s an issue until I get it mounted and strung up. I’ve included some pictures where you can see the inconsistent gap along the edges, these were all taken after I had adjusted the worst offenders. Fret height was consistent though, I didn’t need to adjust that at all.The truss rod turns with a 4mm Allen wrench. I made an adjustment to add a small amount of bow and I could feel the tension, but so far I’ve seen no detectable change. Maybe it needs to be under load before it can be measured; I’ll add that info to my update when I do it.Finally, just a note: as expected, you’ll need to drill your own pilot holes before mounting to a body.If the neck ends up plying well when the installation and setup is complete, this will be the best “cheap” neck I’ve ever purchased. Primarily because of how well-rounded the fret ends are. So many other discount necks have frets that are just clipped off at a steep angle, causing sharp fret ends as well as strings that slide off the neck when you fret too close to the edge. I’m really, really hoping that the small gaps on some of the frets don’t cause an issue, because I really want to love this neck, and I want to believe that you can get something of reasonable quality for under $150.

Wow what a difference in the new neck I just love the quality and look in this new Leo Jaymz neck I just finished up installing it and a few other blacked out parts and yes there are no strings on it yet still waiting for my Ernie ball strings to come in so I will up date this review when it is complete but for now I read where some people dislike their neck because of frets being off or not fitting right but I am here to tell you there is nothing wrong with this neck .I am 💯% in love with the quality and the finish is unbelievable this one is the flaming mable I believe they called it just wish my strings come in really soon before I wear out cleaning it lol

Very nice fret work, beautiful wood. These are very nice necks that could go for much more money. I would have given a higher rating however QC did not catch a substantial ding/ chip on the back of the headstock. This is going on an experimental project build so it's not really worth the hassle returning it and waiting for replacement. I would order another in the future.

First off, this is a very nice looking neck. The overall fit and finish of the wooden parts and inlays is spot on. The wood has some nice figuring, but it is not a consistent flame. For the price I was not expecting AAAAA flame, but the pictures in the listing definitely show some serious figuring unlike the neck I received. The finish is quite thick so for some this would be a negative. The neck was straight. I did not confirm if the truss rod worked.The reason for the 1 star review is the manufacturer is somehow installing frets that do not make it to the edge of the fingerboard. Since the ends are polished I suspect they are doing all the beveling and polishing of the frets before they are installed. Either the installer doesn't realize the frets are different lengths at different positions on the neck or is just indifferent and just installs them regardless of length. Some of the frets are not seated completely to the point I could put my thumbnail under the fret ends.If it didn't have these issues this would have been at least a four star neck, especially for the price. It's going back but I decided try another one just in case I find one that is done properly. If not done correctly, I'm going to have to look for other sources for a replacement neck than this manufacturer. I'll update my review if the replacement neck is satisfactory.

Fender wants $400 for a roasted maple neck.... don't think so. $89, and it's AMAZING!! Nice and straight, level frets & no fret ends sticking out to deal with. Would definitely but again. Beautiful as well, I actually love my Fender MIM now!!!
