currypowder Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 A couple of years ago, I traded for what was described as an "MJT" tele. However, when I took it apart, the body was stamped "Berly", but not the neck. I contacted Kim @ Berly, and he told me that the original purchaser of that particular guitar did not like the neck and sent it back to him. Further, he offered the neck to me as he still had it. I thought it would be cool to marry the original neck and body. However, after I had the original neck installed, I realized I liked the fat soft V profile of the other neck much better, so I re-intalled it. There's nothing wrong with the Berly neck, it has a nice medium C carve. It was relic'd by Kim and the frets are in great shape. I'm hoping someone here will have a use for it in some sort of Tele project. Since Kim sent it to me for no charge (except for shipping), I thought I would offer it here for the same. I just ask for the cost of shipping.

currypowder Posted January 7, 2021 Author Posted January 7, 2021 I'm looking forward to this Berly neck being passed around the HFC.
rugby1970 Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 It's a great neck I just don't like the truss rod adjustment in the heel of the neck. I received it from @currypowder, took a quick look and put it away. Didn't notice the truss rod access at that time. Now I'm going to start working on the Tele partscaster build in earnest.
