Re: 475 neck

If they are both 22 fret, 25.5 inch scale it should work OK. The neck heel may be a bit smaller or a bit larger, but can be sanded or shimmed to make a good fit.

Re: 475 neck

The DK2 neck is 24 fret. Won't work without some routing. What's wrong with the 475 neck? At least they had real mop sharks!

Re: 475 neck

I didn't realize the DK2 was a 24-fretter. That will cause some problems, cause even if you do route, the extra frets may interfere with the neck position pickup.

Re: 475 neck

In my opinion the 475 neck is superior to the DK2, but that's just me. I don't like the "super thin" profile of the earlier DK2 necks, and those cheezy platic inlays suck. I guess they have changed the neck profile now because the DK2LE neck is great.
