Question About MIJ Fender Neck

[Kamanda~SD]

Go buy it, its to beautiful to give up

If I had that kind of cash, I certainly would entertain the thought. Alas, I do not.

Does the 54 have a slight V??

It's somewhat beefy, but if it has a V it is very slight.

You might have an issue with a guardplate swap form a MIM, MIA, MIJ, CIJ, MIK, etc to another however I personally have NEVER had an issue changing a Fender neck from one body to another. Im not gonna say that it would NEVER be an issue but I have never had that problem wiht a neck...

I'm not sure about the neck-swap issue, and not sure why anyone would want to think about something like that if you like the guitar bad enough in the first place to buy it for $1K. It'd better play like butter.
My MIJ 60's RI Strat interchanged with a custom pickguard I bought at a local music store just fine with no screw-hole issue. It took me a couple of set-ups to get it where I wanted it, but it plays and sounds great....an axe that I will never part with.

Does the 54 have a slight V??

I thought about this again, and if anything it's more of a 'U.' It's pretty substantial, for sure.

it's a '57! like mine mine's sunburst though

and watch out, nothing fits it. trem arms, the scratchplate, the lot lol

and i paid £255. $510!

So I'm still considering replacing the neck on my '01 MIM Strat (rosewood fingerboard) with an all-maple neck. Any suggestions on getting one with similar specs to those on the MIJ '57 reissue -- one that will fit my Strat?

If you liked that '57 contour, try to find a Clapton strat and have Warmoth or USACG copy that.
