Darrell, if you swap to the CF pickguard, consider a GFS Aluminum pickguard sheild. The eddy currents it creates in the pickup coils will somewhat counter the harder attack sound of the Stainless frets.

[@Aidames]

@@TheDanification Show us on the doll where the big bad CF guitar neck hurt you!

[@jamesreaves5534]

​@@thecranium All you have to do is get a piece of Green Scotch Brite and rub the back of any Glossy Finished Neck with it. Don't tape the Neck straight across at the Nut and the base. I rub down any Neck stopping at the physical break points on the Neck. This looks much better than stopping abruptly at a Cheesey tape line. This looks nice and natural not awkward and abrupt like a a tape line. Use some talc like you use for pool cues or just regular Mennen bath, Baby Powder etc. Put the powder on the palm of your hand face up and rub this powder thoroughly into your neck everywhere you have dulled it down with your Scotch Brite. Do this as fast as you can while bearing down on the palm of your hand so you get some heat creating a friction this will help make the powder stick to the neck. This works on any guitar or bass Neck You will love this. Anybody I've showed this to loves it. It's easy, quick, simple and cheap. Anyone can do this.

I was lucky enough to be in on the prototype run of these necks when Klos was designing them. I built a hardtail Strat around the Klos and it immediately became my #1 instrument. Phenomenal product, and everyone who sees it is amazed. Thanks for the excellent review!

I’d love that strat my friend. A hard tail with a carbon neck…..what a beauty.

[@david894]

Are these necks solid carbon fiber, or do they have another material inside? Thank you in advance for the reply.

[@FLOSPhotographer]

@@edwindude9893 It's a glorious instrument! The body I used is mahogany finished in pure white with black hardware so it really has great contrast with the neck👍 I opted for the compound radius which is great also. The prototype run didn't have locking tuners, so I installed Hipshot open back locking machines, and pups are HSS with noiseless in the single coil positions...so it's as unconventional a Strat as you can find. I love it and it gets played every single day.

[@FLOSPhotographer]

One thing to note: the Klos uses 'pinholes' for mounting tuning machines like Fender modern necks....except they do not match Fender spacing...so you cannot just 'drop in' Fender tuners if you choose not to use the included machines. As I mentioned above, the Hipshot locking tuners work as an option since they utilize a stabilization plate instead of pins.

[@ChrisBrown-oo4bf]

Decided to try this on my Jazzmaster. Got the locking tuners and compound radius options. All I can say is I am totally impressed. Fast delivery, super easy and quick install, and plays great. I don't have to worry about those pita Fender tuners. Never had a compound radius before, well worth the option. Only thing I had to do was buy a black pickguard off of Reverb.

The Klos site states a gloss epoxy finish. You can sand that if you want, but it may feel pretty smooth as is.

So this is a game changer! I would strongly recommend that consumers have a bit of patience and skip the drill in favour of a screwdriver. All machine screws should be started and finished by hand in this application to avoid cross-threading or over tightening. The replacement neck doesn’t seem to mess with the tone. I am wondering if it is heavy? I have seen some players, especially blues players, burn though even stainless steel frets. Is this neck re-fretable? Great video Darryl! I am a fellow Canadian!
