Looking for a new/used A scale 5 string neck.. preferably scooped & partly fretless..

Rob & Tim.. i've been unable to locate contact details for Alan Funk, & was wondering if you guys wouldn't mind asking if he has anything like this in stock..

Any leads at all will be appreciated.. Thankyou.

Sid.

	tassiespirit says: 7/5/2012 2:50:09 AM Got a short scale neck that takes fiction pegs. It is totally fretless and would use gut or nylon strings - low tension style. There is a picture of it on my page here at BH.

	pluckyfingers says: 7/16/2012 2:25:41 PM It's a shorter neck, so the strings are tuned in open A rather than G. The banjo player doesn't have to capo at the second fret to up tune to from G to A in order to play with a fiddler. They are actually really comfortable to play as your left hand doen't have as far to stretch toward the headstock.
