Overhang on DK2M Neck

[thesoloist]

Heya i want to build my own neck for the DK2M body i just bought. Can anyone tell me how much the neck overhangs from the pocket?
Heres a picture of the measurement i need (props to the OP of the picture)

The overhang on mine is roughly 12-13mm.

cheers for that, if anyone knows exact specs it would be helpful but if not i'll just work off this

I got the measurements with the neck on the body, maybe someone could take their neck off during a string change to get exact sizes.

Im thinking that the overhang is the same for any 24 fret Jackson neck as they are all interchangeable. I dont know if that helps you any.

does anyone know the width at the 24th fret as well. Cheers

Width is 58mm

No need to worry about the length of the overhang being exact. You want to make sure you build the neck so the length from the nut to the center of the floyd post is 25" unless you want to convert it to a different scale. Of course you want the frets spaced properly too.

Yeah just trying to get as close as possible, don't these guitars use a 25.5" scale anyway though?
Cheers for the width f22

No problem, Yes 25.5"

Yes, they are 25 1/2 scale. Hence 25 inches from the nut to the line connecting the Floyd posts. The saddles sit a little further back.
