  • JD-R part swap

    I'd like to install a different neck on my JD-R Jackson. What do I need to know to find a suitable replacement? The neck that was on the mutt has 24 frets, and regular headstock. I do know that I'll need to find a neck with the same amount of frets and scale and the same width of the neck pocket, right?

    I'm hoping to install a Jackson reverse headstock.

    Can I put an OFR on there with the route that on the body? I'm not sure since it's off center.

    The neck you have pictured is from a JD-X.
    The body is not a JD-R body either.
    JD-R bodies are H-S-H with a recessed trem route.

    Judging by the control layout, it looks like a MF run body.

    A Floyd "should' fit in the body you have as long as the post spacing is correct.
    A recessed route is not required.

        Ahh yes... now I remember.
        Anyway... A Floyd will fit on that. You will need to get a longer block for it though.

        As for the neck, yes, you will need another 24 fret, 25.5 scale neck with a 2 1/4" heel.

            Thanks for all the input but I've decided to scratch the project and part it out. I'd rather put all the money towards something else.
