NickCormier Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Ok guys, im about to have a bolt-on body built for me from some guy, but he doesnt have a jackson neck pocket trace.. only the standard Strat neck pockets I have a jackson replica guitar I wanna fit into this guitar, but I dont really have a scanner or anyway to trace it for him, I told him the estimated dimensions (3 by 2 1/8th is around right) which is so similar to strat neck pockets, I was thinking if I got it, I could just do some sanding for like one mm until it fits.. Think that would work? The one thing Im not sure about, is the rounded pocket on a strat, I THINK my jackson neck pocket is squared.. I have to double check it though, but either way I think it would be easier (and lots cheaper) to just have a strat pocket made and then get out the old sanding block and keep testing it until it fits.. Think thats a good idea? Also, if anyone has a jackson neck pocket trace, That would help immensly.. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickCormier Posted April 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Actually, I am considering just getting a strat neck I emailed Doug to see if he builds bolt ons, hopefully he does so then I can get one from him =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer X Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Where you wanna ask, is here: http://www.jcfonline.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=12 Standard Strat neck pockets are 2-3/16" wide. Jackson neck pockets are 2-1/4" wide, so, as you can see, there is a difference, here. Just follow the thread, and someone, there will be able to guide you. I frequent there, so I'll be looking for ya. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
