Guitar Body Fender
Will the neck of a broken fender guitar fit any fender or fender-style body?
My friend recently gave me the neck to a fender guitar that he (accidentally) broke. Now I want to get a body to attach that neck to and make a new guitar. My question is will that neck fit any fender or fender-style body or will i have to specifically seek out a particular size? Also, if anyone else has ever done something like this before, can you give me any tips on the best way to go about this?
Thanks!
OK, building a frankenstein guitar is certainly doable, but the thing you want to watch out for is how tight the neck fits to a body. Quite frankly, it doesn't matter what body you use, as I'm assuming you don't really care what kind of wood the neck or body are. If the neck fits loosely into the body, it is not a good fit: a tight neck joint is essential for good bolt-on guitars. If the neck is too tight for the body, a dremel can resolve that problem, but then there's the problem of holes already in a guitar body. This is pretty much luck of the draw, as placement and size of bolts can vary drastically from brand to brand, but your best bet is to attach a Fender neck to a Fender body. The bottom line is: unless you have a lot of experience dealing with guitars, this is a risky proposition, because the angle of the neck may make your string action unplayably high or low. Different companies manufacture their necks with different physical dimensions so that, unless you are a guitar technician, you're forced to buy one of their replacement necks. I hope this explanation isn't too long or compicated. I don't want to discourage you, but there are a lot of pinpoint measurements involved in constructing a good bolt-on neck guitar. Best of luck.
