Ha, you know me well enough to know how tempted I am! But I don't really like the Baja neck, too chunky for my small hands, so I think it should go to a more appreciative home. And more importantly, my wife would kill me if I keep them all!
Agreed Derek. It's a funny thing really - Leo designed them specifically to be modular, and most of the really famous ones (like Clapton's Blackie) are partscasters, but on the used market they get marked down by some buyers. I'm tending toward going with the Baja neck, doing a good setup and listing it and seeing what happens for a while. If it doesn't sell I can always part it out later and it hasn't cost me anything
If it was me, I would put the Baja neck on it and keep it!

I’d see if you could cover your costs and labour and make some profit but it’s true what they say about partscasters and classic cars!
