Measuring The Neck Heal

[GuitarMan686]

Hey guys. I just scored an 80s japan made Charvel body. She has the San Dimas style to

her with one bridge pickup, one volume knob and is routed for a floyd rose.

I wanted to know how exactly to measure the neck heal so I can find a neck to fit it right.

At the store the guy I bought it from threw on a telecaster style neck. That fit but didnt have

the curve at the end to fit in like a glove. Im doing this baby over little by little. First the neck

Then some pickups. Im thinking a bill lawrence XL500. Any suggestions?

Also I dont know what kind of floyd to go with?

Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance guys.

Have you tried a Strat-style neck? Tele pockets have a tighter radius in the pocket corners AFAIR.

If you have the cash to splurge, get a custom neck or check eBay for necks going on the cheap. Failing that, make one :-D
