I'm thinking to just keep this guitar original. Thanks everyone!

I had one and I thought the pickups sounded great, and the neck was the most comfortable I've ever played. I'm thinking of picking up another. The pickups seemed brighter and clearer than the MIM Strats and the CV Squier I compared it to. I'm not sure if they are original, and if they are are the correct height (they are pretty close to the strings).

Also, I haven't pulled the pickguard yet, does anyone know how the body is routed? Simming pool? S-S-S? Oh, and just one more-what paint is used? I have a chip to the body wood (the wood is very white, making me originally think basswood?) The paint appears to be black all the way to the wood - no primer coat. Thanks again. You guys are very helpful.

IIRC the neck pocket is different than on a Fender so a replacement is not a drop-in affair. You know you may be right. I did a very quick measure with a sloppy tape measure, and the neck seemed thinner than 2 3/16", maybe 2 1/8". The Allparts neck I had was a perfect 2 3/16", so it appeared to be too wide.

Did they have black and white ones available when you ordered?I bought mine in-store and had them price match the website. I've been told you could only get white on the web, but some say they were shipped black. You'll find out for sure when it arrives.

Google searched this subject but didn't find too much info, and already checked HC reviews. I picked one of these up. Maple neck & FB, black body, white pickguard. No case. It's in decent shape, couple of dings to the wood. I was wondering if there would be any reason to keep this original? The neck is two piece maple/maple (split down the middle like two halves). Is this neck a good thing/idea? Does anyone else make a neck like this (G&L maybe?)? I have no idea of what body wood this is made out of. Anyone know? I'm toying with the idea of modifying it, maybe selling the neck and getting an Allparts strathead, Floyding it, etc. But I don't want to hack up something that may become a collector item....yeah right LOL!

RR24M with case $495 OTD at Sam Ash. Finished Allparts Strat neck (SMC?) 12" radius jumbo frets for $168 + tax.

Looks like the exact same guitar I bought last Friday at the same exact price. I bought mine at Sam Ash and they price matched the website. I'm thinking I'd like the white one better as it shows off the black binding better. But if I were to swap, it would have to sound just as badass as the one I got now. I really like how light mine is. You could almost twirl it above your head.

I'm not a bass player but I bought a Series 10 bass a while ago for $70. The body is plywood and heavy. The hardware (original?) is nice. That's about all that I know. Did I mention I'm not a bass player?

Big headstock, three screw neck, no thanks.
