  • Very tempted to buy this Fernandes body that's for sale near me, original gold finish, comes with a scratchplate and a back plate... I've got a neck plate, a set of pickups that came off the Tokai which sound truly unique and the neck off the Squier CV Jazzmaster which will be available shortly... I'll just need a bridge, harness, socket, trem block and springs, control and strap knobs...

    Should I? It'll look amazing...

    The only issue is the neck pocket is 2mm longer that a standard fender neck pocket, shim the end of it and hide it under the scratchplate? Will that work? Proper Frankenstrat...

  • Dick Dale vibes! Do it!

  • I'd say it's likely it'd most likely fit fine - the main thing is they've both got the same scale length (25.5"), so the neck should work.

    However, is there maybe a small risk if the neck pockets are different lengths that you might have to plug and redrill the neck? If the body is expecting holes in the neck 2mm one way or the other it might leave you with a scale length +-2mm in one direction.
    Also, lower risk, I don't know it you can rely on the Fernandes neck pocket being the right depth for a Squier neck.
