Model Series Necks, will a Warmoth neck fit?

[txcharvel]

From what I can find, everything measures up and they should fit. Has anyone had any experience in this?

I want to get a maple/maple strat head for my model 1.

Yup. They fit just fine as long as the neck screw holes are predrilled to Strat standards. The heels are different and makes lining up undrilled necks a bit of a bugger if you've not done it before.

Newc, any advice on drilling the screw holes?

I've filled and re-drilled before but never from scratch. I'd hate to mess up a new neck.

Can you measure from the heel and use the neck plate as a guide?

doesn't a warmoth neck come with one hole pre drilled so you can line it up?

The Warmoth finished neccks come with the holes pre-drilled, but you can also get them unfinished and without frets.

Looking at thw Warmoth site today for the first time in months I see that they've really extended their range. Star bodies, Fusion bodies, Strat-heads, Jackson heads, Explorer heads...

They've had Star bodies forever (since the 80's - used to see the ads), and they've also had Explorer and Jackson heads for some time. The only thing, they won't make a real 24 fret Jackson-style neck, just a 22 fretter with a 24 fret board that hangs over the top of the body, meaning you lose the neck pickup [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img]

callme crazy, but couldn't you just put the neck in the body and stick the screws inthe holes and tap them with a hammer to mark the location to drill?

Newc - the heels are different, but they still fit? How are they different?


txcharvel - if you wind up getting the Warmoth neck, please post here about how it turned out. I've been thinking of doing the same thing for my Model 1C.
