I just thought I'd share pics of these amazing necks...that are sort of Fender. Phil Kubicki made them in 1982/83 after leaving Fender and starting up his own Fender licensed repro workshop. I think he was the first Fender licensed, no?
Although most people know him from his headless Factor Basses, he did a small number of Fender necks and bodies and some other pieces in the early '80s before switching over almost exclusively to the Factors. He also made quite a few necks for other "builders" and later Fender copy parts companies that slapped their names on the headstocks.
I got these two necks separately over the last year. They were probably made for luthiers intending to use them in build projects that never were done, since they both do not have the Kubicki headstock decals. They do both have his ink stamp and SN#s on the heel end. Neither was ever mounted. I'm guessing that because each was so figured that builder were trying to get big bucks for them, so they never got used. I'll be using them both on PBass builds.
Beautiful necks, no? Phil build a number of Fender's '60s/70s custom orders and prototypes while he was there in his younger days. He was more or less the original Fender Custom Shop.
