Turns out your can largely straighten out a warped neck with nothing but a single clamp, three hot-water bottles, aluminium foil and a few towels.
Now to find an Allen key that fits the truss rod...

Re: Partscaster project: Updates / photos / advice
Despite mostly straightening out the back bow, the neck is still unplayable in several areas (including 3rd, 10th at 15th+).
So, any recommendations for a new neck?

Re: Partscaster project: Updates / photos / advice
Extremely silly questions:
Did you fully loosen the truss rod before you tried straightening the neck?
It is not a two way action truss rod by any chance?

When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Not fully loosened, no. But despite that the back bow around the 4th fret is mostly fixed.
And no, not a dual action truss rod.

Re: Partscaster project: Updates / photos / advice
What colour is this? Not sure we had consensus. Fiesta Pink with Cardinal Orange overtones?
Fiesta Red is difficult to match as there are a million variants, even from Fender.

Same with Shell Pink. There's dozens of different colours from the looks of things. I'll be limited to my local paint supplier's selection.
My Fiesta Red is a lot darker and less orange. I prefer yours.

This was my 1963 Strat. You can see even in the one photo how Fiesta can go from red to pink - towards the jack plate the light is different and that pinky hue is evident, whereas where the colour on the horns is quite red.
