Hello
I am new to the OFC but had a balladeer since the late 80's . The Balladeer was borrowed by my son back in the 90's so he could learn. He's now 31 and its his favorite when playing live. then 12
I know he'll return it any day!,,,
I decided I wanted to get into some smooth jazz and saw an Eclipse. Love the look.
There is one available which as a repaired neck. Plays well.
I am hoping to track down a replacement.
The other storm series hard bodies appear to be the same specs. Are they interchangeable?
I believe not as the eclipse neck is black and I'm not sure if the others are the same.

Does anyone have one or know where I can find one.

Would appreciate the help.

Regards,

Paul

The eclipse and other storm necks are the same-ish. The main difference is the mounting depending on age. Does yours mount with bolts or screws?

I'll check how it's mounted and post.

Thanks

The neck attached with screws. On another note, I found a solution. Thank you for the help.

BTW _ I do need a pickguard for the guitar or the pattern from an existing one which I'll use to have one made up.

Thank you. I have a close photo of the original. Guess I'll have to fabricate one and hope for the best.

There are others on the board here that have done them before. Try posting in the main general section, or even in the BFLG section. There are only a handful of people that can respond to posts in the newbie section here.
