If I bought a Dinky body....

[MartinBarre]

would I need to buy a 24 fret neck?

I'm looking at buying a (supposed) Jackson body. I'm not sure what model it's from, but I have all the parts I'd need to finish it off, apart from the neck.

I'd like to buy it, and use a (copy) strat neck on it, as I like the look of a strat style headstock on a superstrat body.
But would a 21 fret neck work on a body designed for 24 or even 22 frets?

It should work for a22 fret neck pocket but it won't intonate properly on a 24 fret pocketed body.

[Grandturk]

Depends. Early Dinkys were 22 frets and later ones were 24.

I believe a Strat neck also has a heel size of 2 & 3/16" compared to the 2 & 1/4" of the Dinky.

Doh! I knew it was beyond me! I saw the body and cos I have a JT580 sitting in a box thought it might be cool to try and make something up, but it's really not gonna be cost effective, and I'll likely make an arse of it!

Just as well I never said it was a piece of shit body or anything like that, since it turns out to be someone on here selling it!
