Phaedrus Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 New non-Squier/Fender or used Squier? My VMJ neck is kaput. Are the VM range the same as Affinity? And I've seen the name Relic coming up too - are they the same/similar? Should I assume any Squire replacement (new or used) could also be crap? TIA. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlungerModerno Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 kaput . . . is it in splinters/horribly warped or is it something more minor? Yeah, you can assume all necks could fail, if it's wood and if it's not laminated or x-rayed it could always have a large enough void or soft spot, assuming the wood isn't just unstable overall. Good quality control will catch almost all of these, before the wood is even cut into neck blanks, let alone a finished neck. I heard the Squire Jazz necks vary slightly, different fret sizes and carves, varying from year to year, mostly by which factory makes them I guess. If you can get one cheap I'd go for it. If the truss rod works and the current neck can be salvaged I'd attempt that first, even replacing the truss rod if you're feeling brave!
