thebrig Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Does anyone know whether the pocket on a Squier Affinity Series P or J, is the same dimension as the MIA & MIM versions? And will a Mighty Mite neck slot in without any problems? Cheers in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard that the neck pocket on the Affinity models are slightly different, and need some modding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Thanks for the confidence booster, but I am pretty new to messing around with bitsa's. It's just that I think I read somewhere that the neck pocket on a Squier was a bit shallower, and could cause problems when upgrading the neck. Hopefully I'm wrong, but I would be grateful if someone could confirm whether it is a standard size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fender's body is thicker but it looks like the neck pockets are the same. Edit: Actually having looked closer I think the Squier has the deeper neck pocket. It's maybe 2 or 3mm deeper than the Fender. So yeah if you put a Fender neck on it you might find it's too low to set up unless you use a big shim.
