woh fatt sells blank necks for strat style guitars.
whether it fits is a different story.

and that shop that said adjusting truss rod helps? bs.
only a neck with a dual truss rod system can help a twisted neck.

your other option now would be to bring it to a luthier somewhere and have him re-level the neck by sanding it down etc etc, but that would mean removing the frets and refretting them again, so again no point for a cheap guitar.

so morale of the story is, just go get a new guitar tongue.gif

well since its a bolt on...action can also be adjusted by inserting shims like cardboard etc into where the neck meets the body to level it out abit.

cardboard ? not advisable man..

well i say etc tongue.gif
usually ppl take those matchstick boxes, not those cardboard ones the ones made from those thin pieces of wood, and ripoff a piece from it and stick it there.
i've done it before also and it seems ok.
