On the new Charvel Production Models, is the neck heal any thicker to account for the non-recessed Floyd Rose? I was thinking I might buy one and replace the body with one from Warmoth that has a recessed Floyd Rose route.

As far as I know No. The body is thicker where the neck pocket is.

The difference will be that the neck pocket has some angle routed into it to create an angle to allow for the non-ressed floyd, or sometimes a shim is used. The neck heel will work with or without that angle, so it should work fine with a flat pocket for a recessed floyd. The thing I'd be more concerned about is heel width. Most C/J guitars have a 2 1/4" heel width, and Warmoth uses the more standard 2 3/16" pocket. I'd check around to see what heel width these have. When Newc sold his recently, he listed it as 2 3/16", so that had me wondering about them.Comment

I would think the neck heel width would be the same as Fender. Aren't they are made in the same factory as Fender. I would think they would try to keep them the same to keep costs down.Comment

Charvel, Jackson, and even Fender are completely separate guitar lines. They may be owned and housed under one roof, but you would still be easily able to feel the difference in the necks of those 3 guitars.Originally posted by snowblind56 View Post"Got a crazy feeling I don't understand,

The neck heel width should be 2 & 1/4" - that's what the spec sheets say for the Production models.

(And Newc has been occassionally known to get these things incorrect.
