Our sword headstock, on a maple and ebony neck
A bolt-on neck with the pointed 6-in-line headstock we designed, sanded and ready for your finish.
Headstock: Sword, 6-in-line | Fretboard: Ebony | Frets: 22 | Nut: Bone, fitted
- Our own headstock shape, not a copy
- Unfinished bare maple, ready for oil, varnish or paint
- Ebony fretboard, bone nut, double-action truss rod
- Same heel as our TL and ST necks: fits a standard bolt-on pocket
A bolt-on guitar neck in Canadian maple with our own sword headstock: a pointed, 6-in-line shape we drew for our guitars, sharper than the usual pointy headstocks. It has a dense ebony fretboard, 22 frets and a bone nut already fitted, on the same heel as our ST-style necks.
It comes unfinished, sanded and ready for your oil, varnish or paint. Prefer it finished? Choose the sword headstock on our custom guitar neck and we paint or varnish it for you.
How It Works
- Check your neck pocket against the heel size below.
- Finish the bare maple: oil, varnish or paint. The ebony fretboard only needs a little oil.
- Fit the neck, the tuners and the strings, then set the truss rod and the action.
Want it painted or varnished? Our custom guitar neck comes with the sword headstock in clear, black or white, gloss, satin or matt, finished in our Hoi An workshop. Looking for a classic shape? See our replacement guitar necks, or read our guitar neck finishing guide.

FAQ
Will it fit my guitar?
It has the same heel as our TL and ST necks (105 x 55.5 x 19 mm) for a standard bolt-on neck pocket. Check your pocket against these sizes before ordering.
Can you finish it for me?
Yes: choose the sword headstock on our custom guitar neck, in clear, black or white with a gloss, satin or matt top coat, about 4 working days in our workshop.
How do I finish it myself?
Our guitar neck finishing guide explains oil, varnish and paint step by step.
Do I need to cut the nut or fit frets?
No. The frets are in and the bone nut is fitted, cut for standard string spacing. You only finish the wood and set the neck up.
