Model Overview

Playing with the Yardbirds John Mayalls Bluesbreakers Cream Blind Faith Derek and the Dominos and as a solo artist Eric Clapton virtually wrote the book of modern guitar tones. Whether exploring psychedelia defining British Blues or performing as a songwriter his ever-tasteful playing proved inspired and inspiring. Our Layla neck pays homage to his indelible contribution to guitar playing and our overall sense of tone by combining many of his preferred specs into one highly playable vintage-inspired replacement neck.

Why Roasted Quartersawn?

Quartersawn wood blanks offer enhanced stability vs. the flatsawn neck blanks most necks are manufactured from. Roasting the wood further enhances stability by reducing the moisture content down to around 7. The result is a more-resonant neck thats stronger and less susceptible to changing weather conditions.

Important Notes

• Statements relating to artists are intended only for reference and do not imply endorsement association or use of this product.
• Wood grain varies from neck to neck. Your neck may differ slightly from what is pictured.
• All necks have a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
• All necks may require fret leveling and polish. This is normal and not a defect.
• To protect against the effects of moisture we recommend sealing unfinished necks prior to installation.
• Due to the lack of moisture in roasted maple the risk for cracking is more apparent. When drilling holes for screws we recommend measuring inside and outside of the threads first to determine the correct drill bit to use. Do not force screws into holes drilled with smaller drill bits.
