Bassfinger Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 The shape of the turdburst differs, although that's not to say they aren't the same manufacturer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor J Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 The second one says it's Fender compatible but has a square derrière to the neck pocket, so selectively compatible, I would say. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will call tehm today to check They do sell fender player replacement necks. Would they possibly sell a body with a 5mm thinner neck pocket? Ill find out.

That is the exact size of a fender guitar heel. This one says 62.8 https://www.musicstore.com/en_IE/EUR/Fame-Neck-JB-Style-MN/art-BAS0011816-000 Edited February 16, 2023 by lidl e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, i went ahead and ordered the body. I got an unfinished one though I spoke to a fella on reddit who has one and he said the pocket was 62mm, which if true is perfect! If it's a bit too big and there is a gap, i can put a shim on the side. Or hopefully the scratchplate will cover it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikNik Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Those neck pockets look rather long. That would affect the scale length if a standard neck was fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, and i hope I'm correct, it is because they are 62mm rather than 63.5 wide. The few reviews i have found are all excellent. Fingers crossed. I think i will definitely be able to work with it, question is how much prep will be needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
