Reggaebass Posted April 10, 2021 Posted April 10, 2021 Iāve got my eye on this, my question is, itās a 22 fret neck, would it fit a us precision body Iāve got or would the extra frets make the scale length wrong or are the frets shorterĀ https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303952545819 Quote
TheGreek Posted April 10, 2021 Posted April 10, 2021 Pm the seller and ask for the scale length...if it's the same as a 21 fret you should be OK. 1 Quote
alyctes Posted April 10, 2021 Posted April 10, 2021 I'd be astonished if you can put that on a body designed for a 20- or 21-fret neck.Ā You'd have to move the bridge or rout the body.Ā The key to it is keeping the scale length the same. 1 Quote

Reggaebass Posted April 10, 2021 Author Posted April 10, 2021 Thinking about it, I donāt know why I want the extra frets anyway, I donāt go above the 5th š 1 1 Quote
PaulThePlug Posted April 10, 2021 Posted April 10, 2021 Measure Nut to 12th fret... then double it for scale length. Can't see the pics, is the extra fret on a body overhang? 1 Quote

prowla Posted April 11, 2021 Posted April 11, 2021 It looks like the extra frets are an overhang. Quote
alyctes Posted April 11, 2021 Posted April 11, 2021 Could we see the heel from the back, please? Quote

Reggaebass Posted April 11, 2021 Author Posted April 11, 2021 And this one, Iām wondering if the overhang might stop the heel fitting the neck pocket depth if it wasnāt designed for another bodyĀ Quote
alyctes Posted April 11, 2021 Posted April 11, 2021 Yeah.Ā The overhang doesn't look to be a fret's worth, to me. 2 Quote
