The only replacement guitar neck you should ever consider

David Bunker Sr With his Son David BunkerTension Free refers to the patented Bunker guitar neck innovation that removes nearly all the pressure on the neck, created when the strings are tightened to musical pitch. Pressure extends along the full guitar neck length from the headstock to the body...except when using a Bunker Tension Free neck.

Dean-Case Bunker BTX BassMany thousands of Bunker Guitars have been sold and every one has its own exclusive Tension Free neck.

But now you can own a custom made Tension Free guitar neck for your Fender Stratocaster, Telecaster, Ibanez, or Paul Reed Smith. A Tension Free neck will resonate with a clarity you never experienced.
No dead spots at all- anywhere! Kinda amazing. …Sustain- in spades. At certain amp volumes- it would remind you of an organ- almost infinite when playing chords, and no need for compressor or other gizmos when playing leads/single notes ring true and long…For me- these are super high quality necks that are in a class all their own. BTW- the fretwork and nut on both was perfect.”  Hiwaychild  Harmony-central

I will never forget his name. His company (Bunker Guitars) has some of the coolest innovations I've seen in a while.”  Pinch Harmony-central.com

“FLAWLESS HANDCRAFTED PIECE OF GLORY. Plays like warm butter…The headstock is removable which is part of the tension free neck design. This lets the neck last forever without ever twisting or warping. In fact, I think Bunker still gives a lifetime warrantee on their necks. ... Dave Bunker himself called me back to talk about the guitar with me. What a cool guy. The neck has a lifetime warranty ....I think that if you brought one down to Dave Bunker, he'd fix it for you... maybe even free of charge…” Posted by Henry at Harmony Central

arlen-2droth2I find it hard to describe the joy of playing this instrument. All of my first good impressions certainly have been proven to be true,. It’s perhaps the easiest and most forgiving instrument I've ever played. I certainly have found it hard to put down, and its already given me a ton of new ideas for tunes just by the virtue of its unique sound and playing qualities. The Tension-free neck and the unique bridge treatment lend themselves to incredible ease of playing, and its an absolute beauty to look at. Thanks again for your incredible design work and musical vision, you've truly created a masterpiece that puts a "work of art" into the hands of other artists. I look forward to every minute I play this guitar. Gratefully Yours, Arlen Roth

I truly do not understand why every new guitar out there doesn't have your Tension Free necks on them. I used to ask myself when looking to buy a new bass, “What am I looking for?". I would say I am looking for a great feel on the neck, and most importantly great tone and sustain. Dave after reading and studying your Tension Free System and bridge designs, that is exactly what your concept is all about. Great sustain and tonality. At almost every gig I have played, musicians and sound engineers have approached me saying, “What kind of bass is that? It sounds incredible!" Then I go into the whole explanation of what your system is and how it works. I usually get a wow! You have it right Dave To all you guitarist and bass players out there if tone and sustain is first and foremost for you, take the time and learn Dave’s Tension Free system then make it yours and use it. Your soul will thank you for it! All the best! Paul John Cruz
