Will a Warmoth Replacement Neck Fit my Fender® Body?

[jamesrobinson]

Warmoth is hands down, the best at what they do!

I bought a neck from them over a year ago for a low model strat. I also got a new bridge tuners and pickups. It went from my worst guitar to my favorite. The neck was amazing.

Hey warmoth, I'm sure you might not read this but your products are just stunning. I recently decided to pull the trigger and make my wallet cry for a few months and splurge on top notch parts, electronics, and the best "fender replacement parts". The greatest feeling about having your product is that for the past few weeks, I can't stop staring at my guitar when I walk around my house. It can't even compare to some of the top of the line guitar's I've tried (lets not name brands). Also, I completely blame you guys for making me gain around 3~4kg in weight. Your roasted maple neck smells so good I've been perpetually hungry for weeks now. Thanks Warmoth!

I'm so glad there's an option to put a strat bottom on a tele neck and vice-versa in the build-to-order. I have an order being built right now that has that option.

I have a Warmoth Strat neck on my Fender Mexican Strat body and it fits perfectly. :-) what an awesome combination!

I loved the Green Check and Red X!!! Great Video Warmoth Production team!!

Dang! I have a 97 USA LoneStar Strat. Now I need to find out more about the neck pocket! I always look forward to your videos! Thanks!👍

For the longest time I have wanted to fit a tellie neck on a strat body. Not that it would really play any better
but just for the esthetic of it. It just looks cool in my mind`s eye.

I have a Squire classic vibe tele. Will your replacement neck fit it? I assume they are the same as the Mexico and USA body’s.

[pilgrimMj]

I had no idea. I just assumed that neck pockets were the same on Strats and Teles. Luckily, I got a Strat Warmoth neck for my Tele but I haven't had it installed yet.

Thank you for this in-depth explanation !

Would like to see a video on Fitting Fender necks to Warmoth Bodies

Bolt-on-neck Les Paul Juniors sometimes have a replacement neck with a round heel, while the LP Jr body can have a squarish pocket heel. I ran across this and the neck fit perfectly (outside curve of the heel touched the back of the body pocket) except that the rounded heel allowed the neck to shift in the pocket. So I taped a small straight popsicle stick section to the heel of the neck and super-glued in 2 * 1/8" short dowels that nearly filled the corners and made a new squarish neck heel. Then the neck has a squarish heel going into a square body pocket end. Tedious, yes.... but the neck can be reused someday in a rounded pocket LP Junior body after gently removing the super-glued small dowel sections...

I bought a neck from yall in 2016 for my strat and some how the neck did not fit it had an over hang and . I had to cut the pickguard to make it fit.

Will a fender strat neck fir a Squier affinity strat.?

[windsurfmaui]

I love your instructional videos. They answer real questions but in a fun way. So how about more neck will it fit info. Will the Vortex or Warmoth shape necks fit in a Strat or Tele body? In case we want to build our own Frankenstein version guitars. Thanks.

[Dakotako]

My 80s HM strat has a neck that’s roughly 14” across. I could fit multiple standard necks in the pocket at the same time. In all seriousness though, that thing makes my Ibanez guitars feel puny.

[armandosinger]

Would the gaps in the corners of the neck pocket cause a noticeable difference in tone with a strat neck on a tele body?

[wespaul]

How about the difference between the strat replacements and jazzmaster replacements? Do they have the same pocket? When you look at jazzmaster bodies on warmth website all of them say strat pocket. So does that mean I have to buy a strat neck? What’s the purpose of the jazzmaster necks.

Excellent video. And great info. Well done.
I am curious, Is it possible to change the scale on a Strat say to 24.75" or 24" scale? Or would that require moving the bridge as well. Or just not possible...Thanks.
