PC-1 Neck on DK-2 Body?

[frankencat]

Anyone know if a PC-1 neck will work on a DK-2 body? I really want to buy DrakeS's neck for my project but I don't know if it will work. It would be very cool if it did though [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

PC-1's are 24 fret, 25 - 1/2 right? sound like it should? If you don't get the PC-1, Easton has a few PC-3's. Anyone know the difference between the two?

[img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] sure, the pc3s are made in japan! [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] i bought one of his pc3 necks, and i really like the feel of it. however, that neck requires more attention truss rod-wise b/c of the figured woods.
awesome profile, tho. necer thought i'd like thicker necks, but i seem to.

anyway, to answer the original question, as long as your scale and fret numbers match up, you should be fine.

What do they feel like? Flat radius? Strat like?

Can you compare it to some other neck?

There is no place around with a Phil Collins, so I cant go try one.

it's a U shape with a thickness of .855 at the 3rd. they're meaty, but not les paulish. it's bigger, but comfortable.

Same dimensions as a PC1?(USA [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] ) I mean they both have maple necks with a figured fretboard right? I tell you, that is one instrument that the import is very close to the USA version, or so it seems. To tell you the truth, I've never played either one. I mean the import must have a thinner slab of figured maple or some notable difference.

i think he means neck pocket dimensions, and yeah, you should be fine. the pc3s have pretty big slab boards. the imports are a bit thinner, and the headstock is a little different. also found it interesting that they seem to be putting a satin finish on the pc1 necks now.
