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 “Layla” replacement neck honors one of the most prolific guitarists, singers, and songwriters whose career has spanned over half a century: Eric Clapton. In addition to 22 vintage frets and a 9.5-inch fingerboard radius, this neck sports a soft V shape that’s based on one of Eric’s favorite acoustic guitars, boasting a comfortable feel in your fretting hand, especially if you play with your thumb over the fingerboard. 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, each neck features an open nut slot, 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.
