Members randomhero2006 Posted February 23, 2007 Members Share Posted February 23, 2007 Do you think this neck would fit comfortably in place of a Stock Squier neck? http://www.rondomusic.net/product856.html That thing looks massively badass, and I wanna know if it would fit on my Squier (doing a "vintage" remodel).

Members mlwarriner Posted February 23, 2007 Members Share Posted February 23, 2007 i don't know about squier neck pockets, but fender pockets are not the same size as SX pockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members johnny6644 Posted February 23, 2007 Members Share Posted February 23, 2007 A Mighty Mite Fender-authorized replacement neck DID NOT fit onto my SX without fairly extensive finagling. So, an SX neck onto a Fender might be problematic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bholder Posted February 23, 2007 Members Share Posted February 23, 2007 I'm not sure I see what the big deal is; I've fit necks onto bodies with difference pocket specs bunches of times, just takes some patience and hand tools. Making a Kramer aluminum neck fit in a fender sized pocket required some sanding and gluing in shims (which I cut from scrap maple boards) along the sides, but it worked out just fine. Now, changing the neck pocket on a tele body to angle the neck for use with a Gibson-style bridge like an SG, that was a wee bit more work, but also worked out well. You won't see too many teles with Gibson style angled necks, P90s and piezo-loaded Tune-o-matics out there. (Actually, it's not all finished yet, but the neck pocket and bridge are all set.)

Thanks bro. This is the look I'm going for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bholder Posted February 23, 2007 Members Share Posted February 23, 2007 If that's what you really want, figure out how to make it work. It sounds like it won't be just a simple swap, but if you're comfortable with basic woodworking and hand tools, it shouldn't be too tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
