rapscallion Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I'm planning on switching my defretted Cort neck for an ebay fretted jobby, but, how can i measure the neck pocket to see if they will fit together properly? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 How would you normally measure something? Think. Think a bit harder. There you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapscallion Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 Understandable, however, I've taken guitars appart and a Squire neck will not fit in a Yamaha body because the end bit(heel?) is a different shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneKing Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I think you'll find that the vast majority of the necks on eBay, unless stated, will be for a Fender fit. You'll be lucky to find one that'll function well with the Cort I'd guess, at least not without some woodwork. If you want a fretted Cort maybe best to sell yours and buy another.

Bassassin Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 It's unlikely that they'll be a perfect fit, but the great thing about wood is the way you can file bits off & stick other bits on & [b]make[/b] things fit. Make sure the scale is the same or you'll end up having to reposition your bridge too. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skankdelvar Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Is the neck a snug fit in the pocket? If so, take the neck off. Lay it upside down. Measure the heel itself, rather than the pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcrow Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 just be prepared for a not so good fit...but really if the bolts hold it what is the diff you may have to do some wood cutting as well my P/J wasnt a terrifically good fit...but i do not believe that any tightness would have made any real difference to my sound via my combo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
