I went all in, buying almost 400 lbs. of defective guitar necks to turn into coat racks. Selling them at $30 each at fall festivals in September and October. I can officially say I'm getting tired of making coat racks out of guitar necks, but they sure look cool and I'm excited to see how many I can sell. I love having something in my booth that you don't have to be a musician to appreciate. Just a music lover. Give me a holler if this looks like something you would want hanging on your wall. I do my online sales through Reverb so customers can use whatever form of payment they want to. These are great for cables in the music room, too. I'm thinking about actually securing guitar wall hangers to the necks for an ultra-cool way to display guitars.

Those are cool, Rick. And you may get some buyers. But I think some of us are more prone to steal your good idea and make our own neck/coat hangers. I would kind of like one CBG 3 string style. Good wishes to you.
Taffy,
For me, it's all about moving them through. It's about 15 min work per neck and I'm hoping to have them all gone by Christmas. That way, I make my money and move on. If I have a few left over, then I'll think about using them for cbg necks. I will have access to plenty more necks if I need them for something else. Right now, I'm focusing on stuff to sell during the holiday season.
Hi Rick, OUCH! nice idea but...........why not six string cbg's. Or 3-4 stringers. I use those crap necks all the time. I also saw down each side of the truss rod to make narrower necks, and tap the frets back in.
