Members Tattoo Drums Posted January 15, 2008 Members Share Posted January 15, 2008 I have a 94 fortress with the all wenge neck, and a 07 Corvette with the ovangkol neck. Are the necks interechangeable? I like the sound of my corvette but the neck of my fortress? just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitargod0dmw Posted January 15, 2008 Members Share Posted January 15, 2008 Their necks are all fitted to their bodies, so I'm thinking no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RSBro Posted January 15, 2008 Members Share Posted January 15, 2008 If they were the same model possibly, but highly unlikely w/ those two specific axes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MrJoshua Posted January 15, 2008 Members Share Posted January 15, 2008 Worth a shot, man. Take 'em off and see what happens. Worst case scenario, you have to put them back on, right? I don't know what it is about the ovangkol necks I dislike, but I think the wenge necks are a lot nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's the shaping. I had a Vette 5 once w/ the ovangkol, and while it sounded nice, the neck was HUGE. My new Thumb 6'ers neck is small by comparison!

They did change the location of one of the screw holes on the neck joint in the late 90's, so I bet those won't line up. I replaced the neck on my 98 with an 04 neck, so I had to drill a new hole in the neck to accommodate it. Other than that, the neck pocket and neck heel were identical.
