San Dimas hardtail body + Model 1 neck?

[FinDude]

Hello guys. I would like to have hardtail Charvel with maple neck/fingerboard (with pointy headstock of course ) But because there's not that kind of model...
So any ideas how those two parts fits together? Or does they at all? Does it need much woodwork or so, or is there something else that makes this idea stupid? Something difference between year of manufacture of those bodies, like neck pockets etc.?

It should bolt right up with no issues.

Should fit just fine both neck pockets are 2 1/4.

Here you go....



The Model 1 neck fits perfectly, I even used the old MIJ Charvel neck plate. If you love the Model series necks, you'll really be surprised at how much sustain the new hard tail bodies make. Easy build and an excellent axe too.

Good luck!

That white one looks awesome!
My project just started. As you can see, some parts still missing :P Buuut, there's coming JB in bridge and STK-S6 in neck position, as it is on "official" HT model.
But have to say, it (neck) really fits perfect on that body. It was so playable just like that. I couldn't resist myself to stringed it before electronics Feels very nice.

Looks really nice FinDude, I like the red too, congrats.
I'm pretty sure you're going to love playing it a lot too.

Some might call our hardtails "mutts" but they're exactly what Charvel should have built.

Those Model 1 maple necks are sweet, enjoy it Dude!

That turned out great!
Always loved red guitars with all maple necks.

Those are great combos! Who needs a custom shop when you can mutt it up. BTW, I have a couple of Charvel mutts myself so I'm not denigrating them.
