Jamesk86 Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Right, I have a Mexican Fender Jazz (left ofcourse!) and compared to the all star amercian Fender Jazz the only realy difference is the neck! correct me if i'm wrong! However, does anyone know where to get necks from or am I just wasting my time?? Quote

[/quote] I believe there are other differences in hardware and perhaps even finish/quality of woods used, but I'm not an expert on Fenders! Can someone on here verify this? Quote
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Apart from the body, paint, pickguard, bridge, tuners & pickups it should be pretty much the same. Quote

josh3184 Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 actually a righty neck might not be a bad idea, due to the extra scale length on the e string when you use a neck of the wrong orientation. I seem to remember tim commerford using a lefty neck on his righty Quote

Scale length is between the bridge saddles and the nut which is unchanged regardless of neck orientation. Quote
mxm Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 All Parts do (or did) lefty Jazz necks - I've got one fitted to a parts Jazz myself - and it is quality ! Quote
rasher80 Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 You could try Warmoth, but they can be quite steep too. I wanted a nice block inlaid Jazz neck for my lefty and the price was a bit of a surprise! Quote
