  • Hell length diffys between 21 and 22 fret necks?

    Ok, is there a difference in the length of the neck heel of a 21 fret vs a 22 fret neck?

    Warmoth says no, the 22nd fret is just a tiny overhang of the FRETBOARD and not the neck itself. Take that to the extreme and Warmoth's 24-fret necks have those long fretboard overhangs.

      Ok, so what about DiMarzio-branded necks specifically?

        Unfortunately, there are some brands that dont follow Fender's specs, and will have 22 fret necks with no overhang, and aren't 100% compatable with Fender bodies.

          Most necks being made are fender compatable, so there is no difference between a 21 and a 22 fret neck.

              I have found the DiMarzio necks work fine in a fender body.
              Really? well screw Mark Twain.
