  • Strat neck on a Model series?

    I know about the differences between the heel width and the body route. But what about the bolt patterns, will they line up? Or will it require a fill and redrill?

        what neck do you have? you'll probably be close enough, but i'm not sure if the charvel hole pattern is spaced out wider to accomodate the wider neck heel. then again, a standard neck plate will fit on either, so you may be okay.

        in other words, what chuck said!

          I don't have the neck, yet. I have a Model 1 and Model 2 project that I'm doing. I changed my mind about the necks and I decided I wanted Strat heads with maple fretboards. I was going to go the Warmoth route. But I thought I might save a little cash and possibly the need to do any kind of fret work by grabbing a used Strat neck. If I get a couple of Strat necks that work, then I'll end up having 3 extra Model series necks that I won't be using (already have one extra [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img])

            i think you'll be okay, but i know that we've got some people here that have done this and will be able to say for certain.

              Every Warmoth neck I have purchased has the standard Fender hole pattern. Charvel Model Series guitars have the same pattern. You'll be fine, perfect fit [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

                Sweet, thanks a bunch. That's what I was hoping to hear.

                  Oh, by the way, will a 21 fret neck make a difference in the fit at all, or will it fit as well as a 22 fret neck?

                    The 22nd fret is just an overhang. A 21 fret neck should fit fine.
