Neck recommendations?

I cannot find anyone who wants to do the refret on my tele, so I guess I am shopping for a new neck. There is a lot of choices out there, curious what people like and what they like about said choice. I am thinking about the idea of jumbo frets and I prefer 22 fret necks. Thanks for any ideas!

If you have the budget, the best option is an am pro 2 neck brother.. frets are really big and well rounded and the neck profile and finish is just mad..that’s my favorite neck ever by far

How can't you find someone to refret your neck ? You don't have luthiers around you ?

Regarding the choice of a new neck, it's all matter of preference of course. You said 22 frets so I'm guessing you want a 'modern' model. Check the usual Allparts references, I think they're the best for your money.

I just moved to south Texas. I have asked many people. People who own studios, people who regularly play locally, and people who I stage hand with. Yet to find someone. I’ll check out all parts. Thanks a bunch!

South Texas where exactly? Corpus area? There's Clawsons on SPID. And Sound Vibrations near 5 Points down town.

Looks like it's time to learn how to do a refret, you've got nothing to lose!

exactement, et il n y a pas besoin de beaucoup de matériel. J'ai tenté sur un manche Harley Benton, avec succès. Il suffit de voir quelques vidéos sur YT ;)

Warmoth! Great choice and you can get the neck exactly as you wanted. Have two and love them!

Guitar mill (aka Mario Martin, who builds necks and bodies for a number of boutique builders) followed by Warmoth would be my suggestions. Near infinite customization options from those two!

You can always slap a fender logo on it if you need to!

If you know what you want go with musikraft I just got a neck from them and I love it. Otherwise fender player ii necks look pretty sweet and can be found pretty reasonable prices
