Custom CNC Necks

Post by Andy Birko »

Hi all,

First, I'd like to thank John Hall for being gracious enough to let me post here.

I'm happy to announce the launch of a new custom CNC neck product at Birkonium CNC - we provide standard and custom CNC parts for luthiers.

I've worked closely with Mike Franks of M.J. Franks guitars to bring these necks to life and to quote John Hall: "I know your stuff is good if it passes the Mike Franks test."

These necks are fully customizable with over 20 luthier customizable parameters, three types of volute and customizable heels. I'm also happy to work with luthier supplied wood for that truly special neck.

For more information, check out my website here: http://www.birkonium.com/home/birkonium-necks/

To help launch this product, I'm waiving the $40 setup fee for all orders made in January. Once your design program is set up, re-orders have no setup fee.

This is all pretty new so the website will be evolving as time permits. I'll also be offering 'standard' necks as well as Martin OEM truss rods to go along with them.

Here's a really nice Hibdon Hardwoods flame mahogany neck I made for Mike Franks:

And here's a shot of the 3 different volute types (the smiley has two variations)

And finally - the customizable parameters:

for those looking for a high end neck and one that can be made custom you can talk to Andy. Since Hanalei moon retired we can use a supplier.
