Channel the Essence of a Legendary Artist in Your Instrument
Select Tribute Series Necks from Allparts pay homage to some of the most iconic guitarists and bassists who have shaped our music culture for over 50 years. These officially licensed, custom-spec’d necks serve as drop-in replacements in your instrument’s body and bring you closer to achieving the personalized feel preferred by these legendary players. The “1984” replacement neck pays respects to one of the biggest guitar heroes of all time, Eddie Van Halen, with 22 jumbo frets and a thin asymmetrical neck carve. Combine this with a 12-inch–16-inch compound fingerboard radius, and you get the best of both worlds: easier base-position chord work and a flatter board for lightning-fast chops at your highest frets, all with a neck that supports your natural hand positioning. Both guitarists and bassists here at Sweetwater are quick to praise the ultra-stable roasted maple necks in the Select Tribute Series, as the tonewood is known to resist warping due to environmental changes. Lastly, this “1984” neck features space for a locking nut, which can be used with a locking tremolo system, allowing you to personalize your neck exactly as you want. Upgrade your instrument to the preferred specs of a legend with an Allparts Select Tribute Series Neck.
Note: Additional sanding, fitting, fret leveling, and setup may be required based on your individual instrument’s current condition and your chosen nut. We recommend professional installation by a qualified repair technician or luthier. Please contact your Sweetwater Sales Engineer if you have questions regarding installation and compatibility.
