[/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?

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Apart from the body, paint, pickguard, bridge, tuners & pickups it should be pretty much the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh3184 Posted March 1, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scale length is between the bridge saddles and the nut which is unchanged regardless of neck orientation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxm Posted March 2, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasher80 Posted March 2, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
