[Charvel]

I am sure this has been brought up before but I was considering those bodies on ebay and didn't know how well a strat head neck would fit. Thanks, Mike. [img]graemlins/band.gif[/img]

Which ones the Pianted ones for $200 a Strat head will fit but there will be some space
you can go threw Warmoth and tell the heel size so it will fit like a glove
i do not know if Lee At GMW can do that i would think he could
or Wayne At Wayne Guitars

Yes the 200.00 ones, thanks for the quick reply. I would like to use the neck I have. Would the space be on the sides and do the screw holes line up? The thickness of the neck is the same.Thanks again. Mike [img]graemlins/band.gif[/img]

U might want to check that. some of the old San Dimas strathead necks are smaller 2 1/8" wide at the heal. standard fender size/ later charvels are 2 3/16" wide so u will need to shim the neck pocket or there will be a small gap on each side of the neck.
Wayne wont do it, michael told me there machinery is setup for 2 1/4" now & they will not re-size there jigs to make custom sizes.
Lee will shim bodies to fit strathead necks.
Trillian will actually make bodies at the correct size NOT SHIM standard ones

What is the actual neck pocket width measurment on a Charvel Model series body?

I've seen this brought up a couple of times and it infurating because everyone says this will or will not fit, but no one ever gives the damn measurement!! [img]graemlins/images/icons/mad.gif[/img]

The screw holes DO NOT line up!! Plug and redrill
